[Paddlewise] Garmin 76cs Basemap question

Have just received my new toy - 76cs from Ebay.  Nice toy. Screen is about 1"
longer than in my previous b/w Legend, but feels twice larger, and twice more
readable without backlight. Don't know, whether this has something to do with
colour, or enhanced contrast, or both. The only surprise - the basemap isn't
as good as in Legend. Not the same name, fewer major streets (I know, this is
not a City Select map, but still).  And no Marine POI. It's supposed to be
factory-preloaded with Marine Points database (mostly nav-lights), but they
are not there. I know, there is a Blue Chart with everything marine, but still
wondering, whether anybody had such a "defective" Basemap. The previous owner
used it on land, so it's probably useless to ask.  Thing works anyway.
