Garmin GPSMAP 76S Review

Perfect for the outdoor enthusiast, the marine-friendly Garmin GPSMAP 76S is a handheld portable GPS navigator that adds an electronic compass and barometric altimeter, an Americas and European or Pacific base map and a full 24 megabytes of map storage space to the rest of its outstanding features.

The GPSMPAP 76S can conveniently be used on land or on water. The electronic compass gives you bearing information even if you are not moving and the barometric altimeter tracks any changes in pressure to tell you your exact altitude. You can keep an eye on changing weather by using the altimeter to plot ambient or barometric pressure.

Like the rest of the Garmin 76 series, the 76S floats and it is IPX7 waterproof so it can withstand being dropped in the drink. The 76S can save up to 1000 of your favorite places in its memory and will take you directly to your desired location. Use your PC to download MapSource data.
