Garmin GPSMAP 76c FAQ:
Q: I have a GPSMAP 76c, if I buy a GPSMAP 76csx can I transfer my TOPO Canada and Bluechart maps to my new unit?
A: From Garmin: The TOPO mapping you have will be able to be used on any unit as those maps are not locked. The Bluecharts are a different program. This is a locked program. With the purchase of the Bluecharts software, you can unlock your region to two units for no additional cost. As long as you have only unlocked your maps to the 76c, you will be able to unlock your maps to a second unit free. If you do purchase the new unit, you can email Garmin the serial number from the new unit and they can help you get the maps unlocked for your second unit.
