Hi ! I've had the 176c for about 4 years. like it, but should have bought the 182C.
One problem is you really can't follow it bouncing around going fast, so buy one with a bigger display.
Basically the Garmins are all similar , and you pay alot for a big display.
Has anyone tried interfacing a Garmin with lets say a Sony 19" lcd monitor, I've heard it can be done.
Garmin is D-Bomb ! BBB

I've had a few Garmins over the years and no complaints. The one I liked best was the 2006C in my old boat. I just purchased this one; http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap376c/
