I agree with Dennis about not keeping batteries in the handheld GPS. This spring I threw away a Garmin Etrex and an older Magellan GPS that I had been keeping for the ditch bag. The batteries leaked and ruined the two GPSs.

Since the 76 is a fairly old device (I have a 76s for 12 years; if I remember, it has only 24 MB of memory!) that first fix can take 15 minutes. There is always a compromise. Marek
