I work in the oil and gas exploration industry and so spend a fair amount of time either getting to a particular point or marking a point of geology for reference in the office. We have access to top of the line Trimble equipment but just about everyone who is going to the field stops by to see if they can borrow the legend. Why?? well its easy to use tough and light weight and gets us the accuracy that we need for scout work. Just wish that there were maps of more of the out of the way places or that we could download the topo maps more easily but then we would have to pay a lot more for the system. Best field equipment I have bought in a while.

Ok that's not true, I can see the M54 and the A41; oh and you get a good outline of the Country but no detail. The unit itself seems quite well built but the manual starts at the wrong end i.e. it tells you how to use it before it tells you how to set it up. So far I'm pretty disappointed given the great reviews I've read, I was expecting more in the basic package; I did not know that I would have to put my hand in my pocket again to buy even a basic map of the UK. I suggest anyone thinking of buying the 76Csx or any other Garmin product looks at the reviews of the UK TOPO maps. I still might send this back to the seller!

This product has a speak option which presumably is reflected in the price, however, although it translates beautifully English/German and German/English it only pronounces the English----little use to those of us with a perfect command of our native tongue!! Franklin have confirmed that NONE of their single language translators speak in the foreign tongue.
