Garmin GPSMAP 76C Handheld GPS Unit

All other marine handheld GPS units pale when compared to the Garmin GPSMAP 76C GPS Handheld Unit — literally.

The latest colour-display technology gives the GPSMAP 76C the brightest, sunlight-readable displays available. And with brand-new state-of-the-art receivers and powerful microprocessors, these units will give you a quick and steady fix.

The Garmin GPSMAP 76C has the familiar GPS 76 family keypads and styling, with 115 MB of memory, an Americas Autoroute basemap and a Marine Point database.

Fast USB connectivity makes loading charts and maps quick and easy, while navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port.

The Garmin GPSMAP 76C is waterproof and fully compatible with MapSource products like BlueChart, US Topo 24K and City Select (which provides detailed streets for turn-by-turn guidance).
