Garmin 76Cx GPSMAP Handheld
Lots of announcements from Garmin over at the 2006 CES, and here's one more for you to drool over: the all-new Garmin 76Cx GPSMAP handheld. A much needed upgrade to the 76C model, the 76Cx features a microSD slot that can hold mapping data. You don't have to worry about the safety of the device - it comes in a waterproof housing and is rugged enough to handle the outdoors.
The 76Cx also comes with a USB 2.0 connection, so transfering map data between the PC and the device is pretty fast. The improved GPS receiver can acquire satellites much faster as well. The large color TFT screen helps in looking up your location quickly. Even if you drop it in water, you don't need to worry - the 76Cx simply floats.
Garmin claims 20 hours of life with 2 AA batteries, but I guess that remains to be seen. A blank 128MB microSD card is included in the package. You can also purchase new microSD cards with pre-loaded MapSource Topo and inland lake maps.
Costing around US $535, it is available now and more info can be had from Garmin. Wow Garmin you are on fire!, I bet Magellan is Jealous :).
