In the past few years navigation devices have made some major changes. Today they are more compact that ever. The Garmin GPS 76 Marine Friendly Receiver is a result of one of those changes. It weights only 7.7 oz which include the batteries. It is so small that it is worn on your arm just like a wrist watch. Its measurements are W x H x D, 2.7 in. x 6.2 in. x 1.2 in (6.9 x 15.7 x 3.0 cm).
The high technology that this Garmin Handheld GPS system has, is that it is WAAS enabled, which accounts for the systems 3 meter accuracy range. It has a large display screen, which is 1.6 in. x 2.2 in. ( 4.1 x 5.6 cm) W x H. The level 4 gray LCD uses 180 x 240 pixels.
It is powered by 2 AA batteries that are not included, so you may want to pick up some extra rechargeable batteries; although the batteries last for 16 hours.
Some of the great features that the Garmin Handheld GPS Reciever is it can interface with your home computer or your travel laptop, using a serial cable. This system allows you to input up to 500 different points of interest, which will mark stores, lodging, and your campsite, as well as the place you parked. It is preloaded with world wide maps of cities, streets, and marine navigation aids, which will include buoys and beacons and other points of interest. You can input 50 different routes on one of 10 saved tracks, which also allow you to input 2,048 points of interest. The IPX7 is completely waterproof so you do not have to worry about moisture damage. The good part about being waterproof is that it does float just in case you have an accident.
The Garmin GPS 76 Marine Friendly Reciever is great for hunters and fishermen; it has a built in celestial data, which includes a calendar and tide information, as well as the sunrise and sunset times of the day. If you are in a party and other members also have one of the Garmin Handheld GPS Reciever they can pinpoint your exact location as the screen shows a dotted trail straight to you.
If you are entered in a timed competition, such as a race or fishing tournament you can activate the timer from the easy access side buttons, and the timer will begin counting down.
It would benefit everyone no matter whether you are using the Garmin Handheld GPS 76 Marine Friendly Reciever for your outdoors activities or over the road. You will always have a helping hand with one of these systems strapped to you. Your owners manual and the quick reference guide will always be a great help in learning how to operate a Garmin Handheld GPS Reciever.
