This is the only complaint that i ever hear about the 76 series. it just makes sense that the buttons would be below the screen. I have never used a 76 model but it seemed to me that you would have to use it two handed or have part of your hand on the screen when reaching the buttons.

also now with these new models there is no reason other than the 76 floating to get the more expencive model. you can add a larger memory card to the 60 series and have the same thing.

Just returned the 60CS that I bought myself for christmas and ordered the 60CSX. Delivery in about 3-6 weeks.

I can't wait that long. Hopefully my 3 year old Etrex Vista won't go belly up in the mean time.

don't know if you noticed, but garmin now has the manuals for all the new models listed. you could at least check out things out while you wait to get it. http://www.garmin.com/support/userManual.jsp?market=3&subcategory=All&product=All
