GPSMAP 76

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.

(Are you having trouble setting your unit's date? Please see Garmin's important FAQ.)
