Default Garmin 76/60CSX Anchor Drag Alarm Useless




The older Map76, Map76S, Map176C etc. all had an anchor drag alarm that
persisted until acknowledged. The new 76CSx and 60CSx anchor drag alarm
beeps only once, and that's it. As you will likely not be at the helm
or Nav station at such a time, this "improvement" renders these newer
units effectively useless for this specific role.


Garmin seems to recognize the need for a more persistant alarm with the
older products, why have they stepped backwards with the newer
products???
