All other marine handheld GPS units pale when compared
to the GPSMAP 76CS ? literally.
The
latest colour-display technology gives both units
the brightest, sunlight-readable displays available.
And with brand-new state-of-the-art receivers
and powerful microprocessors, these units will
give you a quick and steady fix. In addition,
the GPSMAP 76CS boasts a built-in electronic compass
and barometric altimeter.
The
GPSMAP 76CS has the familiar GPS 76-family keypads
and styling, with 115 MB of memory, a Pacific
Autoroute basemap, and a Marine Point database.
Fast USB connectivity makes loading charts and
maps quick and easy, while navigation instructions
can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots
using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial
port.
They're
waterproof and fully compatible with MapSource
products like Pacific BlueChart ®, Metroguide
Australia and City Navigator Australia (which
provides detailed streets for turn-by-turn guidance).
