     my own opinion is that compasses and barometers
are best not fitted to gps units

     purely because the casio protrek watches do the
same thing and use much much less battery power and
it's best not to put all your navigation egges in 1
basket...

     as an expat nzer i know that a new garmin gps76s
is pretty expensive in nz, but you could do something
like buy a 2nd hand etrex venture, legend from ebay
usa and with the savings get a new triple sensor
protrek...
