The GPSmap 76 controls are on the front where you can see and touch them
readily, instead of on the side as they are in the eTrex (Legend, et al)
series. I suppose the side controls are better for hand held use, but I
wouldn't want them for panel or other cockpit mounting alternatives.
And, I forgot to mention, the GPSMAP 76 uses an internal quadrifilar
antenna, which is correctly oriented for vertical mounting of the unit,
whereas the Legend has a patch antenna which is oriented for horizontal
handheld use. The GPSMAP 76 also has an external antenna connector,
which the Legend lacks.
