Etrex Venture HC or GPSMAP76?

TrxR · 09-07-2008, 5:52 PM

I am looking at buying either a the ETREX Venture HC or the GPSMAP76 for use on my ATV and was wondering which one you would recommend? Also I need one that will accept the topo and trail maps for Canada. Which one of these would you recommend or do you have a better recomendation?

Thanks

I use a 76S and 76CSx (also used a 12Map) on my dirtbike. I haven't used the Venture but the 76 line worked great for me. However make sure you find maps before you pick a device. Garmin's products only work with their own software.

You might also check out their bicycle line. The Edge are really lightweight and have a better chipset than the 76. I use one of those on my mountain bike and once in a while on the dirtbike.
