Garmin GPSmap 76Csx vs 60Csx

Hello,

My thanks to those who answered my other comparison questions.

I think I have learned Garmin's coding: C = color; s = SiRF-III chip;
and x = removable data card.

Now, is there any difference between the 76Csx and the 60 Csx models,
other than the package configuration? What are the
advantages/disadvantages to the different configurations.

I have checked the Garmin web site and used the compare product
function, and there does not appear to me any significant functional
difference between the two models. What am I missing?

Not quite.

The 60/76Cx and 60/76CSx both have SiRF-III receivers, but the
60/76CSx has the barometer and magnetic compass.

S = Sensors :

Compass

no: S = Sensors (magnetic compass and barometric altimeter).

Not much. The 76Csx comes with a larger SD card; the 60Csx looks sexier.
You'd probably want to stick a larger capacity card in either model anyway.
Apart from looks, they probably perform as well as each other - although
personally I still prefer an antenna which is (at least partially) clear of
the main body, as in the 60Csx. I would imagine that when using the 76Csx,
hands messing about at or near the top of the unit, pushing buttons etc.,
*may* be a very slight disadvantage in woodland.

From a quick flick through the manuals, I can't see any functional
differences.
