Garmin GPSMAP 76S


If you’re a devoted mariner or serious outdoor enthusiast, our new GPSMAP® 76S is the GPS/mapping unit for you. The "S" in the product name stands for "sensors", because the GPSMAP 76S incorporates a GPS receiver, barometric altimeter, and an electronic compass that deliver precise location, elevation, and bearing information to take adventurers as high or as far as they want to go. The unit also contains a basemap of North and South America, including major highways, thoroughfares, rivers, lakes, and borders, with plenty of memory (24 MB) for downloading MapSource® data. It's also waterproof and floats in water— and its larger screen, increased readability, bigger buttons, and rugged design make this unit at home in even the harshest conditions.

Great Value

I purchased this product primarily for use in my work. I wanted a unit with an electronic compass, altimeter capabilities, and the ability to measure area. After much research, I found that the 76S provides all of those capabilities at a very reasonable cost. Although other units have more bells and whistles, such as color display and memory cards, they are much more expensive. The 76S provides excellent capabilities for my uses at a mid-range cost. The user manual could be somewhat more user-friendly, but this is a minor problem, since the unit is fairly intuitive to use.


Great GPS unit

I recently became a yaker and needed a GPS. Not only to know where I was going but to provide the ability to return to the place I started. A friend recommended Garmin and after reviewing the different products I decided on the GPAMAP 76S. The unit is everything that Garmin says it is. My next purchase will be mappng software so that I can plot Yak trips easily and more effectively.


Garmin 76S Handheld

I use the instrument primarily for bareboat sailing. Previously I used a Garmin 76, but went to the 76S for more memory. The 76 couldn't store enough track points for more than several days sailing. The 76S memory and its flexibility to program distance between track points allowd me to easily record track points for a two week cruise, all within the device itself. The 76S has added features such as compass, altimeter, and maps which I don't use, but some might. Good product.


Solid, but it's large and lacks ease-of features

I bought this unit to do some Geocaching with my daughter. When I opened the box, I was surprised by how large this unit was. I didn't pay attention to the size specifications listed on the purchase page. The graphics used to advertise made this unit appear to be about the size of the smaller eTrex Navigator units and their ilk. If you don't mind carrying around something about the size of a Fluke digital multimeter, this would suit your purposes. As for ease-of, the interface for the computer is 9-pin serial which is incovenient. The internal software doesn't allow you to save or show much text for Geocaching. (Some receivers allow you to put in comments and hints.) This unit is very solid, does what it does very well, but lacks a few things that would make it an excellent system for Geocaching. On the positive side, the screen is large and easy to read. The internal altimeter gives you vertical profile capabilities.
