GPS 76

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).
