Umm... Never heard of the GPS 76CXs... there's a nice GPSMap 76CSx... which I recently bought and think is a pretty good unit. It was bought as a replacement for an older 76CS that is being given to a friend's son.

Having the BlueCharts on it would be a great addition, if you're getting it at the right price. Mine was only $160, so I am getting the charts. However, if you're paying closer to retail, it might not make sense to get the GPSMap 76CSx, since for the price of it and the BlueCharts, you can get a Colorado or Oregon with the entire coastal or inland US charts PRE-LOADED. This would give you significantly more chart area coverage for about the same money.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
