Product Description
About the size of a small, flat calculator, the Garmin GPS 76 is a 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled global positioning system (GPS) receiver that will go anywhere. Even with its compact style, this GPS unit boasts an especially large display for showing more map data and the same power you've come to expect from Garmin handhelds--even while operating for up to 16 hours on two AA batteries. The GPS 76 features 500 waypoints (10 nearest, 10 proximity), 50 reversible routes with up to 50 points each, an automatic track log, and alarms for anchor drag, approach and arrival, off course, proximity waypoint, shallow water, and deep water. The GPS 76 is also compatible with Garmin's line of downloadable MapSource CD-ROMs and will accepts up to 1 MB of map detail data. Always know just where you're going with preloaded maps of rivers, lakes, worldwide cities, navaids, and tide data. With a detailed base map, users also have the ability to look up address and telephone number information for nearby services and points of interest as well as find map detail for cities, highways, and interstates. Designed with all types of users in mind, this unit will take you from the car to the hiking trail and beach without missing a beat.

Can't calibrate it!

Comment:
It looks good and it is said that it does wonders, but I can't calibrate it. I have tried many times but it fails on me. And their tech support is hard to reach.

Great for PDA or PC connection
|
Comment:
The GPS 76 is the perfect portable GPS unit for connecting to a PocketPC based PDA or a laptop. I have tested it on an iPAQ 3835 with Pocket Streets 2002 and it works like a champ. I have also tested it with a friend's PDA using Anywhere Map (a moving map/EFIS type program for flying) and it worked great. If you are in an area that can get WAAS reception, the accuracy is even better. If you are looking for a great GPS that can be used stand-alone or attached to a PDA, this is it.

Comment:
Got this GPS for primarily geocaching...It works wonderfully! Best Unit I have owned yet... and I have owned quite a few. Garmin has done it again! If you plan to use it for driving get the MAP76.. but for navigation while hiking this one is everything you will ever need. Great Unit! Great Features and Great Price here at amazon...

marine bracket

Comment:
You can't get the marine bracket any place right now and the unit is useless on a small boat with out one unless you have 3 hands.don't buy any hand held GPS that doesn't have a bracket, I learned the hard way!
