If you want to use it for mapping, then the MapSource CD's are a superb extra.

I plan to purchase MAP source later.

At this moment (before learning :-) use unit for general map and connect to my Pocket with Ozi for topomaps.



I use wdgps for learn NEMA sentences and translate data.

If you haven't already, check out the GPSMAP76 Review. It covers most of the functions of the 76S. I have a 76S myself, I like the 76S over the 76 because of the true compass it has barometer.

I've purchase de 76s for de same reason. This unit is realy "universal". The map is a little poor but i plan to purchase MapSource for more details.

You might want to look at Garmin's MetroGuide, it comes on 2 CD's for Europe, this is what I'm using on the GPSMap76S and gives you a high level of detail right down to the smallest of streets.



From what I recall, the basemap that came installed was only of major roads and motorways and included very little POI information.



Looking at several towns/cities I get more POI's compared to some of the Pocket PC GPS Street Routing packages!
