CHABOX Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Can anyone give me a quck description of the difference in these two models? Quote
sanramonhunter Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 For the longer answer. The units are basically the same with a few minor differences. As stated earlier the 76 will float and the 60 doesn't. on the 76 the keys are above the screen and the 60 has them below. The 76 has a patch antennae and the 60 has a quadrahelix or something like that. I think the screen is a little bit larger on the 76. 76 made more for boating (hence the floating) and the 60 more for hiking (easier 1 handed operation) but the same innards. Quote
QuigleyJones Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 The 76 has a patch antennae and the 60 has a quadrahelix or something like that.<Both have the Quad-helix antenna> A little anoyance if you plan to use a 76 for hiking is that it does not have a belt/carabiner clip.Some say when using alkaline batteries the 60 is neutrally buoyantt. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?comp...compare=compare Quote
+W7WT Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Both units have the quadhelix antenna. I think the form factor is what is most important. If you can go to a store and see which one fits you hand and is the easiest to operate. I have the 76S and the 76C and like that. They are easy to jam between the windsheld and dash with a non-skid pad. Either one will do a good job for you. Quote
