Re: Garmin Handheld GPS 76CX
That unit will get you back spot on every time. Mark your way point and return to the exact same spot the next day. Or just follow your track log. It will record 10,000 points & 20 individual tracks.
I've used my old Garmin E-Trex Legend c on many large inland lakes. Lake of the Woods, Mille Lacs, Leach, etc. Even up in Canada to mark hazards & hot spots. Always right on.
Your unit is many notches above mine. It will be great. The AA batteries are a huge plus in my opinion. The internal rechargeable just don't seem to last as long. With the back light off, I leave mine on all day when out on the water.
No need for the back light anyway since the screen is daylight viewable. Just hold it towards the sun and the map gets brighter. Can't say that for the other brands that wash out to the point of being in-viewable.
I've used Garmin, Lowrance, & Magellins. I'm Garmin all the way. Plus a huge variety of maps is available for Garmins. From inland lakes, to off shore, to snowmobile trails, to topographicals, to aviation applications.
You will not be disappointed.
