Caesar,

I have a Garmin 76 CSX hand held.  I have the Marine mount and the 12 volt 
hook up. It did require an additional chip for the area that I am sailing. 
I've used it in the St Petersburg,  Tampa Bay,  Clearwater area and am quite 
satisfied. Linda sends her regards to your family.

Herb,

Good to hear of your experience with the Garmin. That's a great endorsement 
of the product. I am yet to sail or motor at night, but plan to at least 
experience it this coming season.

The Garmin on my O'Day is the older version of what you have - a 76s.
B&W display, and no SD card. I load the maps into memory. I used it when
I crossed the Gulf of Mexico on a friend's Allied Princess, and have
used it numerous times up and down the Texas coast on on local lakes in
my O'Day. It's great. The charts are easy enough to read, and I was
surprised at the accuracy. The first time we sailed to the tip of Texas,
we had problems with our outboard. That put us behind schedule. So, we
had to sail into a strange marina, in the dark, with no motor. I
couldn't have done it without the GPS and the accurate charts it had in it.

Mary Lou, I remember reading that you use one occasionally; How do you do it
without taking an unplanned plunge?

the
same in both types?
