I have the 76CSX and am extremely satisfied with it. It is waterproof even
with the rubber caps on the back. It floats which alleviates a lot of stress
for me when I'm out on the water (salt).   I bought the Bluechart memory
card and it covers all of Vancouver Island, the mainland north to Charlottes
and south to Puget Sound. I don't have to go near my computer. I have the
Navigation Program for North America and I do use the computer for that.
Garmin carries an orange waterproof case for the X Series that does not have
a glare. It works well and the color makes it stand out if, well actually
when, I put it down and forget where I out the evasive devil.
 
I picked the 76 over the 60 because I didn't need the electronic compass/
The compass that comes on the 76 is more than enough for me.
 
One of the best purchases I have made.
