The
GPS 76 is a low-cost solution for land or marine navigation designed
to provide precise GPS positioning.
The
GPS 76 features a built-in quad helix antenna for superior reception
and can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when
receiving differential corrections. An extra-large display measuring
4.1 cm x 5.6 cm 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.
The
GPS 76 has 1 megabyte of internal memory which has been 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 GPS 76 is also preloaded with tide
data for the United States (unit does not presently support Australian
tidal stations).
