extras such as the cable or mem card. am I on the right track or looking

The 76CSx is a nice GPS, I have had one for three or four months now and
really like it. I have had it in really heavy cover and have never lost
a satellite lock. The only thing you might want to check on is how well
it will handle the shocks when mounting it on an off-road bike. I know
Garmin makes units especially designed for mounting on a motorcycle like
my SP 2820 but other then making them waterproof I don't know if they
also do something as far as making them more shockproof.
