One thing the Standard Horizon has that no
other handheld I researched is a THREE YEAR
Warranty. Take that, Bobsprit!


My mapping Garmin mapping 76 was free (a gift), has a 3 year REPLACEMENT
warranty.


Why be sorry. Somebody paid extra for that three-
year replacement warranty which is really just an
insurance policy. It means nothing other than some
fool paid for what I got free from a manufacturer
who is willing to stand behind his unit for three
years. This should tell you something. It should
tell you the manufacturer expects his unit to
hold up for AT LEAST three years of use whereas
Garmin's paltry one-year warranty says they
believe their units are good for AT LEAST one
year. Hahah a hahah ah ha h ah ha! You get
what you pay for. If some fool wants to buy
as a gift an inferior unit and then pay extra
to insure it then it just goes to show your
friends are almost as ignorant as you are.
