Which would be best for all around use on/off the water, in the woods, etc.?

Checked the specs of each and found the 76CSX has slightly larger display, it floats, includes a larger capacity SD Card, but it is slightly larger unit than the 60CSX. Other than that they appear to be almost identicle in features and ability.

I spend alot of time in the woods and will be carrying the unit with me there, so not sure if size of the unit should be a concern or not.

I have heard of Garmin rebates on some of these units. Where can I find rebates (if any) for these units?

Thanks for any helpful information.

Here is their promotions page. That is the only source I am aware of for rebate info.

These 2 are the same except for what you mentioned already. It comes down to whether or not you want a belt clip and how you like the button layout. They both perform identically.

I have found both units for the same price online. It seems you actually get a bit more for your money with the 76CSX. If the units are in fact identicle in every aspect except what has been mentioned, I would choose the 76CSX.

I have to wonder if there is not some difference though. Why would Garmin make two units so much alike?

As I have mentioned I will spend most time in the woods and on the water to lesser degree. I want the best unit for these uses and the most durable. It seems the 76CSX being capable of floating would be more water proof and/or water resistent which is a valuable feature for me.

Unless I discover some disadvantage or negative about the unit, I will likely go with the 76CSX.

Thanks, Dave

The waterpoof part is the same. The 76CSx floats because of the case design. I've heard the 60CSx will float without batteries and nearly floats with light weight lithiums.

I went with the 76CSx. It was delivered today.

Now if I can just figure out all of that techno stuff in the manual.
