Garmin GPSMAP 76 with English and French manual/packaging

All other marine handheld GPS units pale when compared to the GPSMAP 76C and GPSMAP 76CS—literally. The latest color-show technology gives both units the brightest, sunlight-readable displays unfilled. And with brand-new state-of-the-art receivers and powerful microprocessors, these units will give you a quick and steady fix. Both the GPSMAP 76C and GPSMAP 76CS have the familiar GPS 76-family keypads and styling, with 115 MB of memory, an Americas Autoroute basemap, and a Marine Point database. Quick USB connectivity makes loading charts and maps quick and simple, even as navigation directions 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 BlueChart®, U.S. Topo 24K, and City Brilliant® (which provides detailed streets for turn-by-turn guidance).The key to success in life is knowing where you are, where you've been, and where you're going. Garmin's full-featured GPSMAP 76 puts all of that information in the palm of your hand, mapping your movements off-road or on--and even floating. Plus, its extensive features, PC connectivity, and extensive add-on map options make it powerful enough for practically any need. About the size of a small paperback book and weighing less than 8 ounces, the GPSMAP 76 fits comfortable in the palm of your hand, but is a bit huge to carry in a shirt pocket. Using the unit requires nearly no setup. Just place in two AA batteries, turn it on, go outside, and wait. In about a minute or so it will determine your location. It's accurate to about three meters, thanks to the unit's support of WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System), which augments GPS signals for even greater accuracy. Knowing your longitude, latitude, and altitude doesn't mean much without a small perspective. That's where GPSMAP 76's backlit LCD

Garmin GPSMAP 76 with English and French manual/packaging Reviews

Review by Darren:

Before my GPS hold, I considered a number of Magellan units in addition to some in the Garmin E Trex series. I finally chose on the Garmin Map76.In addition to being relatively simple to use, I ideal the slightly larger screen of the Map76 over the other units. Since I was purchasing the unit to use even as sea kayaking, I found the screen on the Map76 was much simpler to read in the sunlight than the less vital screens on the E-Trex models. In addition, you can upload map data into this unit. (Although the unit includes a basemap, Garmin also manufactures a number of optional mapping products which cover roads, waterways and topographical features in more detail). For kayaking, I use the optional BlueCharts which is essentially like having Nautical maps at your fingertips. (These are sold by regions and tend to be a bit expensive but).The tide station/prediction feature on the Map76 was also an vital deciding thing. With this unit, you have the ability to get tidal predictions for virtually anywhere in the US at your fingertips.The Map76 often receives evaluation on the low amount of memory for uploading map data. The tradeoff but is that it also drains the battery power at a slower rate than those that boast more memory. (I also considered the GPS Map76S which has an added electronic compass and more memory, but after a trial use from a friend's, I found the Map76S unit to drain battery power far too quickly for my intended use. The Map76S was also about 0 more in cost). Although the Map76S was a slightly upgraded Map76, I didn't feel the extra features of the 76S were worth the added cost, especially with the quicker rate of the battery drain.I've logged over 500 miles of sea kayaking with this unit and am very satisfied with its routine. I find the memory capability in the Map76 is adequate for uploading maps for day trips and the balance with the battery drain is also sufficient.Although it is waterproof, I highly suggest a transparent waterproof bag for using even as kayaking to avoid salt water saving corroding the battery leads.Garmin also offers toll free phone and send by e-mail technical support for their units and software.This unit makes a fantastic paddling partner.

Review by G. Lawrence:

So I finally got around to upgrading my trusty 3 year ancient Garmin 12XL to a new GPSMAP 76. I played with one of the Magellan 330s at the local store for comparison but found that once again I simply prefer the Garmin user interfaces. I also picked up the MetroGuide CD. I figured if I was going to upgrade to a mapping GPS, I'd really want fully detailed maps. Surprisingly, I've experienced no buyer's remorse whatsoever. The GPSMAP 76 is nothing small of miraculous! Garmin is to be commended for the improvements they've made to their product line over the being.The internal quad-helix antenna is brilliant. Position accuracy is superb, screen resolution is vastly improved, and the extras such as tidal and celestial info are a really nice touch. The optimal fishing/hunting time predictor seems like overkill but I'll bet there are users who swear by it. The routing and tracking functions are well plotting out and much improved since the 12XL was released. WAAS is sort of a mixed bag. I find that that whenever I lock onto WAAS signals, the estimated accuracy gets a few feet worse. It's never reads more than 20-25 feet off total but it's still the opposite of what I'd expect. Regardless of what the estimated error reading is, the accuracy always seems much better than it lets on. I've been using it a lot for geocaching lately and it invariably puts me within 5-6 feet of the caches.The MetroGuide CD is quite nicely designed for a Windows product (I'm a Mac fan!) It contains substantial improvements over Delormes Street Atlas 4 Mac which was the last CD based mapping product I owned. It's quick and accurate (I know that they just updated all their maps) and the integration with the GPSMAP is brilliant. You can easily transfer all waypoints, routes, tracks, or maps back and forth between the GPS and your PC (or VirtualPC for Mac fans). You can also connect your GPS to the serial port and dynamically track your whereabouts on your laptop screen but I find this arrangement a bit cumbersome. There are just too many wires and batteries to deal with. For me having an easily readable, high-resolution, zoomable map on the GPS is the only way to go.The only complaint I expected to make was with regard to the restricted 8 MB map storage space. It turns out that 8 MB will hold pretty much the entire San Diego, CA and San Francisco, CA Bay Area. If I were driving across the country and wanted to investigate every nook and cranny I might be concerned. Otherwise it's perfectly fine for now.Fantastic product, fantastic price. Pleased navigating!
