>>232925>you mentioned that useful features from the 60 are missing in the 62. What features are they?see:
>>232919>The 78 doesn't have a useable "turn preview". It squawks and puts an arrow on the map, but it's nothing like the 60/76 that's blatantly obvious which way to turn.>The 78 shuts off when external power is removed. 60/76 have a switch for that in the menu (turn off or stay on).User interface is another. The 60/76 is pretty straightforward, easy to use and figure out without reading through the manual.
I couldn't figure out how to delete a waypoint on the 78. It's buried 4 menus deep.
They must have changed the routing algorithm, because the 78 takes you all over the place. The "turn warnings" are timed really weird with the maps - you don't get a "final turn warning" until you're in the middle of the intersection. 60/76 gives you the "final turn warning" when the next turn you can make is the one you need to (early turn warning squawks at you 1-2 blocks ahead).
Welcome message is set up through a file on the computer, rather than in the UI.
Fonts are hard to read. 78 has a blocky 7-segment-LED-wannabe font, where the 76 is a clear, easy-to-read plain old font.
Small fonts are dithered on the 78, making them harder to read on an already small display.
It behaves a lot like my phone. You use it when it's in your face, 100% attention to the GPS. It's not something you can do 1-handed while you're riding, glancing at the screen to make sure you're in the right menu.
The really cool thing about the 62/78 is the aerial photo capability. You can squirt in raster images from Google Earth into the GPS's memory card and display them live on the map screen.
But for as much of a pain in teh ass as the rest o the GPS is to use, I'll stick with the 76 that works and doesn't require constant fucking-with.
