Confused: DriveSmart 66 vs. 76. Which is better?

[Confused]

My very old Garmin died, soI want to purchase a new one, such as the 66 or 76. But there's not a clear winner and the specs are confusing. Called tech support and there was no clarification other than the obvious size difference.

The 76 is listed as WSVGA and 1024 x 600 pixels

The 66 is listed as HD and 1280 x 720 pixels.

So does the 66 have a better or worse display than the 76 ?

Which one to purchase and why?

Thank you!

I think it's all down to viewing distance, the 66 will look better due to the higher pixel density when when viewed at a close distance and the 76 will look better due to it's bigger screen size when viewed from a greater distance

Do all these models come with the suction cup arm device?

Yes, in fact they are the same pieces. I had a 66 for a few years, then when it died, I got a 76. I continue using the 66 mount on the 76 and saved the new suction cup arm that came with the 76 until I need it if the old one fails. I also would note that when I got the 66, I also got the Garmin zippered storage case and found when I got the 76 that the case was actually sized for the 76, so no new case needed either. Sweet. I don't notice any significant difference in screen appearance, they seem the same to me, even if there's a slight spec difference, they're both excellent and clear. All controls, functions, etc. are identical or if there are any differences, I can't tell. I think either one is great, may come down to price.
