handheld GPS

I've got the old Garmin 76 (monochrome) which I used until I changed df's and put it up on a shlef in my closet. It was a good unit and served me well when night fioshing. All I ever did was use the trail feature to be able to run at night if it got foggy so I could find the boat ramp again. I never considered selling it cause it does do the job and one day I may need it again. Go Garmin and you wont be disappointed.

Your wright brother, your wright i need to keep that lil. sucker i guess! WHY! ive waisted alot of time before i got my HB.side imageing unit,but i did not take that into consideratoin! When i first come down some 18-20 years ago i got lost twice in Anderson tully. Man i was learning a compass messing round with deer and them old ferrill hogs and one should have two at that! But you just thought me something! once on the foot with thick fog to lost about 40 mins of good full moon time in the cold!!

I've got a Garmin 76csx and I love it. It's much better than the gps software in my HB 998. You can even make your own custom maps with free terrain data off government servers, a feature much lacking in my $1720 sonar unit. I've made maps of my farm with 3ft contour intervals. Not that I need it since I've been stomping this ground for 40+ years, but it's still way cool. When I'm navigating to some structure I've marked on the lake I always refer to my Garmin and just leave the HB screen on si.

What are the sites for the free terrain data?

I had a bunch of waypoints on my Garmin GPSMap 76 and I have a Lowrance LMS 520C depth finder on my boat. Garmin and Lowrance use different formats on their GPS, but I found out you could download a free program (Easy GPS) and load the waypoints on there from the handheld and It will convert them to the Lowrance format and you can load it on a SD card. I did that and when I go to my map on the depth finder, there's all my waypoints with their names.

I've been thinking about buying a handheld GPS unit for a long time. From everything I've read it sounds like the Garmin 76 is the way to go.

You need to find a copy of Mapsource fishing Hotspots for your area. Mapsource Hotspots is a discontinued product. What area do you fish?
