76 GPSMAP BY GARMIN IS PRELOADED WITH MAPS
The 76 GPSMap is preloaded with a basemap of principle cities and roads as well as marine navigation aids, including lights, buoys, sound signals and day beacons. It also has 8 MB of internal memory, so you can load detailed maps from a variety of optional MapSource® products. If you're into boating or fishing, you can use the 76's built-in celestial data, which includes sunrise/sunset times and a hunting and fishing calendar.
The GPSmap 76’s helix antenna is a little more sensitive to orientation than the G-III+ with its movable antenna. The unit must be held vertically for best reception as compared to the eSeries patch antennas which work best horizontally. There is a simple and effective mount available to hold the unit vertically. The mount base is common to the StreetPilot (ColorMap) and eMap mounts. As far as signal reception, the GPSmap 76 does well. It has about the same sensitivity as a G-III+ and slightly better than an eTrex.
The unit requires (for the first lock to a WAAS satellite) about 30 minutes (in the clear) to obtain the Geo Sats' WAAS navigation data in order to lock on to them. In the USA, these will be No. 35 and 47. The unit's display can be zoomed in to 5m as compared to the eMap's 30m which with WAAS improved accuracy, should give a better graphic of the GoTo distance at the waypoint. The GPSmap 76 units' backlight has only a toggle on/off, unlike the G-II+ and G-III+ that have a dimmer feature.
The GPSmap 76 has 10,000 track points in its active tracklog. It can also store 10 reduced tracklogs that can have up to 250 data points. These 250 saved trackpoints can be converted up to 50 TrackBack (Turn) points. This is similar to the G-III+, but the GPSmap 76 stores the altitude in the track log like the eTrex/eMap series of GPS. The unit also can store 500 waypoints and 10 proximity points. Areas of recorded tracks are displayed when the track is SAVED.
