Garmin 396 v. 376c

[Rebekah LaBar]

I was searching the ST archives for info on WxWorx/GRLevelX when I came across mention of these two GPS receivers. There seemed to be more comments on the 376c, perhaps because it is cheaper than the 396, but I've had some trouble trying to find main differences/pros/cons of one over the other (besides just the price difference).

I already have a Magellan Meridian Gold GPS, but I like the idea of having the radar and GPS all-in-one (even if the display is only 3.8"), without having to even mess around with a laptop.

Thanks!

I don't know if you read the thread below from the archives regarding the 376c. I barely looked at the 396 due to price.

Thanks! That does help. Although these look like pretty cool devices, there seem to be a lot of comments on how small the screens actually are, and I would probably wind up dissatisified with that... So I think I'll just go ahead and spend my money instead on WxWorx Threat Net for my laptop and use the GPS I already have.

Rebekah,

Last time I was at Bass Pro Shops, the 376C was on display if you want to test it out for yourself.....George
