I've been having some very unsatisfactory experiences with the roads routing
features of this GPS using the MetroGuide software. I'm sure hoping the
problems don't translate into similar issues when using it on the boat.

Anybody want to talk about this or know of a discussion group specific to
it?

Anybody had problems with ignored waypoints and strange routing on the water
using Blue Charts?


I used my 76C (Not X with compass) last summer to record track and for
general cockpit usage last summer in Desolation Sound. I didn't use
it for tracks, although I did have the Canadian chart pack loaded.
I didn't notice any egregious errors when compared to the papter
charts--but I was sightseeing and gunkholing in daylight and
the accuracy of the Blue Charts was not an issue.

The tracks along the major highways on our trip to California
also looked OK for the most part between Corvallis and Sacramento.
