kattman Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 My budget is real tight now. There are two pawn shops that have a hand held gps, One has a GPSmap 76 for $100, and the other has an Etrax H for $45. I was geocashing with a NUVI 200 but i no longer have it. Should i buy either ?

Be careful on the 76. Is it a GPSmap 76 or another version? The GPSmap 76 has limited internal memory and does not accept data cards. It also does not have a high sensitivity receiver. Same for a 76s. The 76Cx or 76CSx is okay. The eTrex H for $45 is okay. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 If that is a 76 and not a 76cx/csx, it is way overpriced. The plain 76 is not worth having. The Etrex H price is OK. New Etrex Venture HC, $130. http://www.gpscity.com/garmin-etrex-venture-hc.html Quote Link to comment
kattman Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I looks like a plain 76, I did not see it set the date when i power it up after 10 min are so. They also have a nuvi 205 for $55, I wounder if that would be a better buy than the Etrex H ? Also the etrex h dosnt have a cable but looked unused is still a buy? Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 The etrex H do not come with a cable from the factory. Low cost cables here: http://www.rnrplace.com/store/index.php?ac...Cat&catId=3 Price is OK for a decent Nuvi 205, but a handheld is better for caching. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 One has a GPSmap 76 for $100 Total ripoff. $20 would be a good deal. Etrax H for $45 Now that is a pretty good deal. Very basic unit but it will get the job done. Quote Link to comment
