+Firefishe Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Does anyone who has seen the GPSmap 76S at a trade show or other venue know if the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) feature is going to be incorporated into this unit? It's on the GPS-V and the eTrex Vista. Just wonderin'. Warm regards, Firefishe Quote Link to comment
+rdw Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I just looked at the Garmin website and they have a page on the Map76S. http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap76s/index.html They have a specs page too. rdw Quote Link to comment

+cache-potato Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I pre-ordered mine 3 WEEKS AGO!!!!!! Shouldn't have sold my 12map so soon. Using a globalmap 100 in the meantime. I think I mentioned this in another thread. I do not know if it has a course deviation indicator or not. Personally, not really interested in that particular feature. Hawkeye take a peek Sweet huh?

+Firefishe Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 Never seen such a buncha love-starved-gps hounds! Sheesh! Okay yooz crazies Let's try this again. Can anyone tell me if there is going to be a Course Deviation Indicator (where the Pointer Arrow "breaks" and moves from side-to-side, indicating that you're right or left of your course line) is going to be included on the "compass" page of the GPSmap 76S or not? As the current GPSmap 76 has it, the "compass" page is set up like an Automatic Direction Finder, not a true CDI. Hawkeye...for your edification www.tvnav.com and www.advancedgps.com are taking pre-orders. April isn't too far away now, man; you can take it! Breathe! In through your nose, out through your mouth, nice and slow, see? That's the way to do it, nice and slow. Here's my quote from tvnav.com: ----------------- The GPSMAP 76S will be $375.00. They are suppose to be available in April. UPS ground is $10, 3 day select is $13, 2nd day air is $15 and next day air saver is $30. Saturday next day air is $45. FedEx shipping is available for an additional $10. These prices are for 48/US shipments only. We are taking pre-orders. When the product arrives the orders will be filled by date ordered. We will not charge your credit card until the day your item(s) ship. Please see http://tvnav.com/orderinfo.html for ordering information or call us toll free at 877-625-3546. Thanks. Darrel Goheen GPS@tvnav.com http://www.tvnav.com/navhome.html Voice 785-625-3546/FAX 413-383-8800 --------- They're $385 with free ground shipping at advancedgps.com . Shipping is 15 for standard FedEx overnight before by 2pm and $20 Priority overnight by 10am. Either way, you win, I think. Warm regards, Firefishe Quote Link to comment

Growley Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Yes..I just pre-ordered mine. My GPSMAP76 is great and I would recommend this unit to everyone. So I guess I just admitted to the geoworld that I was swayed by the constant reading of these threads. Boy am I in trouble. Quote Link to comment
K.C.&Kids Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 So when in April is this puppy coming out? Quote Link to comment
Growley Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I e-mailed Garmin and asked if they were still on track for an April release. I was told that "it should be in stores by the end of April at the latest." I would like to know if anyone has a more accurate answer. I am running out of drool rags. I just got off the GPS Store Web Site and they are listing a delivery date of April 10th! Quote Link to comment
