Finally made the move to the Garmin GPSMAP 76. Am debating what MapSource CD would offer the most shoreline detail: BlueChart, Roads & Recreation, or Topo. From what I have been able to see on the Garmin homepage, Topo has so much topo detail, it is hard to read the roads, and many rural roads aren't included. Garmin recommends MetroGuide rather than Roads & Rec because it has the auto trip planning function to any destination you select, but the charts don't seem to offer as much shoreline detail as Roads & Rec. Haven't been able to see the BlueChart America charts...can't find a local dealer that carries it. Anybody out there have experience and preferences with all this? I am more concerned with getting something that shows good shoreline detail (offshore islands and such) than good road detail.
