GPSMAP 76:
Rugged handheld navigation for your land and sea adventures

The GPSMAP 76 is
designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from
the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). This 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 GPSMAP 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
MapSource CD-ROMs.

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
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.
