Garmin GPSMAP 76 & GPSMAP 76S

The GPSMAP 76 and 76S are designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System. These units feature  built-in quad helix antennae for superior reception and can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.

The GPSMAP 76 and 76S have internal memory capacity of eight megabytes. In addition, they come with a built-in basemap of cities, coastlines, lakes, rivers, interstates, and interstate exit information and a database of nautical navaids.

These units have eight megabytes of internal user memory for storing optional MapSource detailed maps, including marine cartography. This memory 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. The GPSMAP 76 is also preloaded with tide data for the United States.

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 GPSMAP 76 and 76S 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.

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.
