Good Points
Very Nice Looking Unit

Bad Points
No Waypoint Catagories on the Unit.

General Comments
No Waypoint Categories - Without Waypoint Categories the Garmin GPSMAP 76CS satellite navigation unit is useless for long trips and fishing on multiple lakes - Try listing 900 Waypoints in alphabetical order and have to find them one by one or by promimity.



The Garmin MapSource Software has Waypoint Categories but the 76CS Unit does not. The MapSource waypoints become useless when loaded down to the unit. If you have under 25 Waypoints you can fumble around and find what you need. At over 150 Waypoints you'll toss the unit out of the car window or off of the boat.



If the 76CS had Waypoint Categories built in it would be an outstanding piece of equipment - A Ten.



Buy a lesser $$ Unit that has this feature - You'll be better off.
