daveorapid Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hello does the 76CS have the same geocaching screens/functions as the 60CS? Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Yes it does. In fact, the units share the same firmware. Quote Link to comment
+ChicoJeff Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I was headed toward the purchase of a 76cs when I compared the models using the a feature on Garmin's web site. The main differences I found were: 60cs = no tide prediction 76cs = 115 MB memory, 60 = 56 MB 60cs = a little cheaper Since I didn't need tide data I just looked into the memory issue. According to this review of the 60c, 56 MB was plenty for my purposes. And FedEx delivered it today! ...guess I'll be up late tonight... -Jeff Quote Link to comment

+mobiusman Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Yes it does. In fact, the units share the same firmware. I don't believe this is true. Garmin does not mention the Special Geocaching mode for the 76c or 76cs. Also, in Garmin's geocaching product guide they do not list the 76c or 76cs. -Scott Quote Link to comment

Here's a tidal prediciton screen from my 60CS: Quote Link to comment

Also, in Garmin's geocaching product guide they do not list the 76c or 76cs. -Scott You can download the 76CS Manual and then search or scroll through it to see it mentions the geocache functions throughout it. Page 37 of the manual (47 of the PDF file) discusses Searching for a Geocache using the 76CS. Page 65 of the manual (75 of the PDF file) discusses the Geocache setup page. In the PDF manual you can see screenshots as well and they are the same as the 60C(S). David Edited June 15, 2004 by Team DEMP Quote Link to comment
+mobiusman Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I stand corrected. It's funny that I can't seem to find the "Special Geocaching Mode" listed is the advertisments for the 76cs like it's listed with the 60cs. -Scott Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 It is because they are marketting the 76CS for boat users and the 60CS for geocachers. It is all just marketting. Quote Link to comment
