I *think* the only real difference is that the 76 can use nautical maps. Otherwise, the specs and price are the same.

I have the 76CSx and Sledzeppelin in correct. I love it and I also use it on my boat. I run it with a 2 gig chip and it stores all the maps I could ever put in it. It has held up extremely well and it has seen alot of action. I hope this helps.

CORRECTION: Sledzeppelin IS correct.

I thought the 60 also held nautical maps

76 series float 60 does not . both are submersible. 60 has some internal memorie 76 does not . both use expandable mem cards. imo 60 is more rugged 76 is better unit. again imo

Running the 76 here. It has fallen a couple times and still runs like a champ. I love the thing and it helped get us out of unfamiliar territory in the dark the last trip we made.
