Garmin
GPS 76
The GPS 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.
A remote GA27C antenna can be used with the GPS 76.
A
large display measuring 1.6"W x 2.2"H gives users a clear view of information.
A large numbers option allows for easy viewing at a distance, and the backlit
display and keypad simpifies use in low light situtations. The waterproof GPS
76 will keep working well even if it has been submerged in water and will actually
float if accidentally dropped in the water.
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 the Americas
Marine Point Database and can be used to downloading points of interest detail
from GARMIN's MapSource Points of Interest
CD-ROM.

Interest Database file can be downloaded
