Desription ......... Powerful Marine GPS Navigation is at your fingertips with Garmin’s GPSMAP 76 Hand held GPS Navigator that lets you take to the seas with confidence. The WASS-enabled (Wide Area Augmentation System) receiver pulls down continuous satellite data, along with a quad helix antenna and a built-in basemap containing data for cities, coastlines, interstates, interstate exits, along with lakes and rivers, including GPS-assisted nautical navigation from lights and buoys, sound signals and day beacons. The Garmin GPSMAP 76 also comes preloaded with city data from worldwide cities with populations more than 200,000, and tide data for U.S. 1000 waypoints are accepted, along with graphical and text data displayed on the large monochrome screen. The GPSMAP 76 by Garmin is designed with a rugged waterproof case that allows it to float if dropped in the water, and will continue to provide a superior nautical GPS Navigation experience thereafter.

My new GPSMAP 76 : So I finally got around to upgrading my trusty 3 year old GPS navigator to a new GPSMAP 76. Since I found the screen on the Map76 was much easier to read in the sunlight than the smaller screens on the other models. In addition, you can upload map data into this unit and 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. The internal quad-helix antenna is excellent. Position accuracy is superb; I can find a McDonalds that is 20 miles up the road off an interstate exit! And the extras such as tidal and celestial info are a really nice touch. The optimal fishing/hunting time predictor seems like overkill!!
