| The GPSMAP
176 is a 12 parallel channel, WAAS-capable GPS receiver with an extra-large display that
makes keeping your eye on the map easy. The display measures 3.75 inches diagonal and
delivers a crisp picture thanks to a pixel count of 320 x 240. On the inside, the GPSMAP 176 comes equipped
with a built-in worldwide basemap and tide data for the United States. The unit is
enhanced by GARMIN's BlueChart™ marine cartography, a miniature-size chip that
inserts into the unit and provides additional offshore map detail. The cartography
includes detailed depth contours, inter-tidal zones, spot soundings, wrecks, navaids, port
plans, restricted areas, cable areas, anchorages and much more. For use in a car, the
GPSMAP 176 can accept downloadable information from GARMIN's MapSource MetroGuide
U.S.A. CD-ROM. A special mounting bracket is available that will allow the GPSMAP 176
to be temporarily mounted in a car. |
