| Interesting, Garmin is updating the "PLUS" series (276C Plus and 76C
Plus) including the NMEA messages I have asked (BWC, XTE and VRG) as
well the DSCE. Good news for th owners of PLUS series.
But, I noted that the standard Map76C/CS and the corresponding
Map60C/60CS yet have not this update released.
