User from pocketgpsworld says: I read on the Garmin website that MapSource v8 was compatible with both the GPSMap 76C and the 76Cx, so I purchased the MapSource v8 Update while waiting to find a good deal on a Cx...Two weeks later, after updating the 76C with the v8 MapSource software, I purchased a 76Cx believing I could install the newly updated MapSource v8 data on the 76Cx as well...see more

User from gpsreview says: I've been looking lately to replace my Lowrance iFinder Hunt with a color unit and was going to get the Hunt C which is a color unit until I read some of the reviews on the Garmin 60 CSX and what a great unit it is...I'm very curious as to how the Hunt C's 16 channels would fare against the Garmin 60 CSX's SiRF III chipset in tough conditions...From what I was able to check out I did like the look and feel of the Garmin plus it works with all my mapping software except the Lowrance of course and I like the way the battery compartment locks down like my old SporTrak...see more

User from www10.epinions says: Forerunner 101 by Garmin is a fairly sophisticated tool as long as sports are involved, at least...I purchased this device mainly for inline skating but, after using it for about 2 months, I can definitely say that it is suitable for several other outdoor activities such as running/jogging, walking, biking, hiking, etc...An extension strap is included with the FORERUNNER 101...see more
