Manufacturer Description |
The GPSMAP 76Cx is a refreshing upgrade of the GPSMAP 76C, one of our most popular models for outdoor and marine use. This unit features a removable microSD card for detailed mapping memory and a waterproof, rugged housing. The microSD card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment. Users can load map data and transfer routes and waypoints through the unit's fast USB connection. In addition, this unit features a new, highly sensitive GPS receiver that acquires satellites faster and lets users track their location in challenging conditions, such as heavy foliage or deep canyons.
Considered the mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts, the GPSMAP 76Cx and GPSMAP 76CSx offer a large color TFT display and turn-by-turn routing capability. These units also float when dropped in the water. Each unit comes with a blank 128 MB microSD card. Owners of these new x-series handhelds can also purchase new microSD cards that are pre-loaded with MapSource Topo and inland lake maps, BlueChart marine cartography, and City Navigator street maps.
The Garmin GPSMAP 76Cx and GPSMAP 76CSx are Garmin GPS units with Color Screens and MicroSD (also called TransFlash) card memory. The Cx range includes 4 other units consisting of the GPSMAP 60Cx, GPSMAP 60CSx, eTrex Legend Cx and eTrex Vista Cx.
