I have a Garmin gps 76 & am going to upgrade to a unit with a map base.
I use it in the 4by in conjunction with laptop & oziexplorer. The same gps also has to be strapped to the bike, hence the need for a map base. The only other thing this superman of gps's has to do is be of use in the boat.
Not to much to ask is it.
Garmin have the gps76map cx is which is a good unit (with 20 channel sattalite & mini sd card slot) & an external arial jack.
This means I can use my old arial & mounts, but they don't have a topo map base to purchase & you can't enter any other source of maps in to the unit.
Miggellan have their range either the explorer 600 or the xl model, they only have a 12 channel sattilite, but still have a sd card slot.
They do have their topo map base to use, great,,,,,, not really because they don't have a external arial jack for when in use in the 4by,,,,,,,damn.
Any input appreciated.
