I had used the Garmin 3+ for a couple of years(and liked it) until recently upgraded to the GPSmap176c. The 176c has a much larger screen
has upload capabilities and is much faster than the 3+. I was told by a Garmin dealer that the 3 series(now 5) is of old technology
and is being phased out of use.
I put a 64mb card in mine and loaded Metro Guide for the Southwestern US, Worldmap for Mexico to Panama, eastern Canada and central Europe to Nordkapp. I am happy so far. Mine is mounted on a Ram mount which seems to be taking the abuse I give with a lot of off road travel.
