Whether
you?re a devoted mariner or serious outdoor enthusiast,
the 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 Australasian cities, main roads
and interstate highways, coastlines, lakes, rivers,
railway lines and a database of nautical navaids,
with a huge 24 MB of memory for optional MapSource
detailed maps, including marine Blue Chart cartography
and Metroguide street maps. 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.
