I consider buying a GPSMAP76S in the US, and units sold in the US can (due to Garmins policy) only have the Americas Basemap installed. The question is What features do I loose if I install a Mapsource product from CD while operating this unit in Europe?



Experiences greatly appreciated.



Chris :-)

Chris,



In reality you lose nothing. The basemap provided, be it Americas or Atlantic, is so inaccurate as to be useless. As you don't get any Mapsource CDs with that unit, you'd have to buy one anyway. European R&R or European MetroGuide would be what you want, I should think.
