Summary: Garmin GPS 76 - Multi-Use Navigation System - Portable/Marine/Vehicle

Note: The GPSMAP76 has all of the same specifications as the GPS76, however the GPSMAP76 has 8mb of internal memory (rather than just 1mb) and can accept map data from Garmin's Marine Cartography CD-ROM's via a compatible PC.

The GPS 76 is a low-cost solution for land or marine navigation designed to provide precise GPS position using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). This rugged, waterproof, unsinkable GPS receiver unit features a built-in quad helix antenna for superior reception and can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.

The GPS 76 provides 1 megabyte of internal user memory to be used for storing downloaded Points of Interest data. This 1 megabyte of storage area is preloaded from the factory with worldwide cities (populations greater than 200,000) and nautical navigation aids such as lights, buoys, sound signals and day beacons, and is perfect for downloading points of interest detail from Garmin's line of Map Source® CD-ROMs. The GPS 76 is also preloaded with tide data for the United States (unit is only compatible with USA tidal stations).

An extra-large display measuring 1.6"W x 2.2"H gives users a clear view of information, while a waterproof case means the GPS 76 will keep working well even if it's been submerged in water. Even more amazing, this unit will actually float if accidentally dropped in the water.
