GPS 76

The GPS 76 is designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). This unit features a built-in quad helix antenna for superior reception and can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.

The GPS 76 provides 1 megabyte of internal user memory to be used for storing downloaded Points of Interest data. This 1 megabyte of storage area is preloaded from the factory with worldwide cities (populations greater than 200,000) and nautical navigation aids such as lights, buoys, sound signals and day beacons, and is perfect for downloading points of interest detail from Garmin's line of MapSource® CD-ROMs. The GPS 76 is also preloaded with tide data for the United States (unit is only compatible with USA tidal stations).

An extra-large display measuring 1.6"W x 2.2"H gives users a clear view of information, while a waterproof case means the GPS 76 will keep working well even if it's been submerged in water. Even more amazing, this unit will actually float if accidentally dropped in the water.


GPSMAP 76

The GPSMAP 76 is designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System. This unit features a built-in quad helix antenna for superior reception and can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.

The GPSMAP 76 has an internal memory capacity of eight megabytes. In addition, it comes with a built-in basemap of cities, coastlines, lakes, rivers, interstates, and interstate exit information and a database of nautical navaids.

This unit has eight megabytes of internal user memory for storing optional MapSource®— detailed maps, including marine cartography. This memory is preloaded from the factory with worldwide cities (populations greater than 200,000) and nautical navigation aids such as lights, buoys, sound signals and day beacons. The GPSMAP 76 is also preloaded with tide data for the United States.

GPSMAP 76S
If you’re a devoted mariner or serious outdoor enthusiast, our new GPSMAP 76S is the GPS/mapping unit for you. The "S" in the product name stands for "sensors", because the GPSMAP 76S incorporates a GPS receiver, barometric altimeter, and an electronic compass that deliver precise location, elevation, and bearing information to take adventurers as high or as far as they want to go. The unit also contains a basemap of North and South America, including major highways, thoroughfares, rivers, lakes, and borders, with plenty of memory (24 MB) for downloading MapSource® data. It's also waterproof and floats in water— and its larger screen, increased readability, bigger buttons, and rugged design make this unit at home in even the harshest conditions.

GPSMAP 76Cx

The GPSMAP 76Cx adds a whole new dimension to the mariner-friendly 76-series navigators: a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, microSD™ card slot, color TFT screen and turn-by-turn routing — features that have made the 76Cx and its counterpart, the GPSMAP 76CSx, a mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts.
Navigate the Great Outdoors
Find your way through the wilderness with the GPSMAP 76Cx's high-sensitivity GPS receiver, which acquires satellite signals quickly and tracks your location in challenging conditions, such as heavy tree cover or deep canyons. The 76Cx's bright, color TFT display makes it easy to distinguish details on the screen in any kind of lighting. And, like the rest of the 76-series, 76Cx is IPX7 waterproof and even floats in water.
Expand Your Memory
Storing data is easier than ever with the 76Cx's removable microSD card. This included blank card stores up to 128 megabytes (MB) of optional maps or other data. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. When navigating on the road, the 76Cx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. It also accepts optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource® data for your off-road and marine excursions.

GPSMAP 76CSx

The GPSMAP 76CSx adds a whole new dimension to the mariner-friendly 76-series navigators: a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, barometric altimeter and electronic compass, microSD™ card slot, color TFT screen and turn-by-turn routing — features that have made the 76CSx and its counterpart, the GPSMAP 76Cx, a mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts.
Navigate the Great Outdoors
Find your way through the wilderness with the GPSMAP 76CSx's high-sensitivity GPS receiver, which acquires satellite signals quickly and tracks your location in challenging conditions, such as heavy tree cover or deep canyons. You can use the built-in electronic compass to view bearing information even while you're standing still, and the barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric or ambient pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. The 76CSx's bright, color TFT display makes it easy to distinguish details on the screen in any kind of lighting. And, like the rest of the 76-series, 76CSx is IPX7 waterproof and even floats in water.
