GARMIN GPSMAP76C / GPSMAP76Cx

Our shop and our offices remain closed until end of September.
You may try to reach us using the contact form.

Hand held GPS receiver with large display, integrated world and Europe/Africa map, special features for marine use plus USB and serial interface.

The GARMIN GPSMAP76C / GPSMAP76Cx is easy to use, supports multiple languages, has a large, easy to read color display, an extremely sensitive antenna, an integrated world map (overview) plus a base map of Europe, Africa and the near East. In addition, the GPSMAP76C has 115 MB of built-in memory to store even more detailed information, such as local roads, restaurants and points of interest. The GPSMAP76Cx has a slot for a standard micro SD memory card in the battery compartment and comes with a 128 MB memory card. It provides special features for marine use, such as off course, anchor drag or shallow water alarms. The GPSMAP76C / GPSMAP76Cx provides navigation information outdoors, in a car, in a train, on a boat or even in an airplane (see MapSource examples). The built-in serial interface supports data exchange with a PC.

Note: The GPSMAP76CS / GPSMAP76CSx provides the following enhancements over this model: An integrated electronic compass and an integrated barometrical altimeter.

34 Vertical Speed Current ascending or descending speed.

35 Vertical Speed To Dest Required rate of ascent or descent to reach the final destination.

36 Water Speed Current speed over water (requires an external data acquisition device).

37 Water Temperature Temperature of the water (requires an external data acquisition device).
