Refreshing a GPS Standard
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.
