    Anyway, that's just my 13 cents.

     

    Zahrim....

     

    I have ordered plenty of accessories and my GPS MAP 76S from gps_discount. They have excellent customer service and prices.

    I would be a bit wary of a site that changes it's prices on a daily basis.

     

    You may want to check the forum for any feedback from those other sites.

    Fron the Garmin Website,

    Size: 2.7"W x 6.2"H x 1.2"D (6.9 x 15.7 x 3.05 cm)

     

    Weight: 7.7 ounces (225 g)

     

    GPSMAP 76S

    I just ordered a unit (GPSMAP 76S) on last Friday morning and I had it delivered by Tuesday. This was the regular ground shipping option. (They use Fedex express saver for the ground option)

    They have awesome communication. They email you when the order has been fulfilled and they email you when they have a tracking number. You can track your shipment from the gpsdiscount website.

    I have yet to find a website that can beat gpsdiscount's prices.

    If you order a Garmin product make sure you put your t-shirt size in the comments area. They ship a free good quality t-shirt with every Garmin purchase.

     

    I requested an RMA for a possible issue that was later corrected with the software update. I received the RMA within hours of emailing them. Never sent it back, but it was good to know they stand behind their product.

     

    I would recommend them to anyone in the market for a new GPSr.

    Exactly what I was going to recommend, 3M 5200 is a bit pricy but is weatherproof and waterproof and bulletproof!

    Another bit of advice, it keeps longer if you put any unused portion in the freezer and let it come to room temp when you use it again.

    You can get this stuff at West Marine, Boater's World, BoatUS, etc....

    Florida caches?

    These should be good. I wouldn't worry about gators. I am more concerned about running or stepping on rattlesnakes and such, since they are more likely to be on a trail and can be easily missed. Gators really can't hide on a well worn trail without being spotted. If you see a gator, always near water, they are just as scared as you are and will run. This happened to me on a golf course once.

    I am a personal fan of infosponge's caches. He puts a great deal of thought into them.

    Etrex Vista versus GPSMap 76S

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I have all the mapsource software so that's not an issue. After checking out the price on gpsdiscount.com, I may just move to the V.

     

    I would still like to hear about other reviews folks may have on the 76S since this unit seems to be a bit easier to carry than the V.
