The tide tables work with the Map60 and 60c/cs as well as with the 76
series.

The 76series case is physically larger and therefore these will float
higher in the water (the 60 series just barely floats with typical
batteries). The other difference is that the 76c/cs have more memory
both for the basemap (13 MB vs. 8 MB) and downloadable memory (115 MB
vs. 56 MB) than the 60c/cs.
