The Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx seems to be the most highly-regarded unit for a decent price ($290 shipped from Amazon), but I thought I'd check our "Braintrust" here before committing to it.   
So what say you?  Anyone have any experience with this model or similar?  Good/bad points?  Any other handheld GPS units you want to recommend? 
Feel free to share your opinions & advice.  Thanks!

 For a hand held I have carried this and the other versions for years in my travel bag were ever I go and Have never had an issue. My previous unit was the 76s ,none color version and still have it after 10 years it stays on the boa as a back up, Can't beat garmin for support or map selection. I also use a nuvi 255 for the vechiles with out any problems
