Default looking for a good hand held GPS

On another list I'm on,whenever that question comes up (
about every 4th month) most votes go to the Garmin 76c, or
76 CS mapping. Personally, I'm still using the little
Magellan 100 that Cadillac gave out for free about 10 years
ago.

At this point, I'm still using my old Garmin III Plus.

I'm looking to stay with hand held but don't really know

how the technology
has changed in the last few years (I've had this about 5

years). I love the
fact that I can map out a route on the computer and

upload/download
waypoints, tracks, and routes from and to my computer.

I'd like a slightly bigger, color screen. Can anyone

recommend a good unit
under $1000? Must be able to plan trips with computer and

save logs of
trips.

TIA
Scout



I'd have to second that on the 76 series. I've used them, but I still own
and use my 12xl. Don't need no stinkin mappin. :-)
