  1. Thank you Mike. Other than the display issue, were you happy with it? I wonder if the carry case helps with this?
  2. I really lament posting this question, but I cannot come to a decision concerning these two. I have read posts and watched reviews on the models. I have even asked and received some answers from two gracious form members - thank you. Perhaps this is more of a request for GPSr therapy and confirmation bias then anything else. Neither one is perfect it seems. I am looking for a handheld and have no desire to use a cell phone Some background/needs Use case 1) geocaching, 2) endurance cycling computer, 3) hiking/backpacking/fishing I intend to let my kids use this some to find caches, ages 10 and 15. Simple is good. The idea of the live caching updates with notes option and photos would be nice. 66sr Good = new, fast, accurate, battery, Bad = no keyboard for easy of use, antenna may not be ideal for some use case - biking, more expensive 750t Good = touchscreen, flashlight, camera, less costly Bad = ancient, cumbersome menus, battery life The above are certainly not meant to be an exhaustive list of good/bad or a feature comparison between the two. These things are simply weighing on the decision. I am willing to spend the extra on the 66sr if it makes sense - especially long term support and use. I like the more "perceived" multi-use aspect of the Oregon, but cringe at buying something that is almost 5(?) years old. That is reflected in the cost I suppose. It appears an update to the Oregon line may be coming at some point. Again - I apologize for asking this and rehashing this territory. I just want to make sure I am not missing something to sway my purchase decision. Some of you here may own both and therefore have some pointed feedback as well. I am leaning toward the 750T.... I just don't want to regret it in about 6 months wishing I had gotten the 66sr. Thank you in advance for any/all help.
