I can't figure out why Garmin insists on bringing out new models. The 76 works just fine but certainly could always stand improvement. Why not improve on a model that works rather than reinvent the wheel?

I am write software for the Garmin. What's worse than new models is they keep trying to change the protocol to communicate to the GPS. There are several data formats for waypoints alone, fortunately they have seem to have settled on one waypoint format for the newer models but they still have two different methods the way the GPS communicates to the PC over USB.

Sometimes I think they have a bunch of engineers coming up with new designs and nobody talks tos anybody else.
