RE: [Paddlewise] CKF: Santa brought me...

Hi George,

I am afraid I disagree.

I just used a Garmin 76 SCX for my crossing this last Sunday and the color
screen could be easily seen in plain sun light, better than with my old 76.

The battery lasts a long time, the satellite signal is caught inside of the
house, inside of buildings and inside an airplane that the 76 could not. 

I think the 76 SCX is a big improvement even with its big memory to store
data and maps.

Best Regards,

Rafael.

Mark:
 
I've got the GPS MAP 76-- great instrument, although the battery  life could

be better. I believe yours is the same, except in color. The good  news is 
that the color screen is nice, especially with complex downloaded  charts.
The 
bad news is that it's harder to see the display in bright  light and it has
an 
even shorter battery life. However, in bright light, you  often don't need a

GPS as much.  A great gift!
 
Regards,
George Miller
