Garmin GPS 76CSX Handheld GPS with Barometric Altimeter and Electronic Compass
| Garmin GPS 76CSX Handheld GPS with Barometric Altimeter and Electronic Compass |
The 76CSx's 2.6-inch, 256-color TFT color display is designed to present mapping and trip information clearly and accurately in any lighting conditions. Plus, the case is lightweight, rugged, and water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes). Marine users will also like the fact that the 76CSx floats. When using two AA alkaline batteries, you'll get up to 20 hours of battery life from the unit. Another key feature of the 76CSx is the 10,000 point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. Meanwhile, there's a large numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. The unit also includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations. You also get audible alarms for anchor drag, arrival, off-course, proximity waypoint, and clock. The unit's barometric altimeter system features automatic pressure trend recording while providing current elevation, ascent/descent rate, minimum/maximum elevation, total ascent and descent, and average and maximum ascent and descent rate. Meanwhile, the electronic compass allows you to get accurate headings while standing still. The 76CSx's trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. Meanwhile, a fast processor allows the 60Cx to provide quick auto-routing, turn-by-turn directions, and audio alerts when you use the optional MapSource software, which can be stored on the unit's included 128 MB microSD card. Downloading information is quick with the USB or serial port interfaces. Using the dedicated serial port, the 76CSx can share navigation instructions with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots. If you like the features of the 76CSx but don't need an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin GPSMap 76Cx.

 Rating:  - Great on land and on waterThe Garmin 76CSX is great as a primary or backup GPS. I use it as a primary in the mountains and as a backup to my Raymaine chartplotter while sailing. Unlike my Raymarine, I can take the very portable Garmin with me when sailing abaord other people's boats. As are all Garmin products, it is easy to use and with the downloaded ocean navigation program, invaluable for West Coast sailing. Rating: - It is a floating unitIf you intend to use a GPS over water this would be a better option than the 60csx because it floats if it falls on the water. Rating:  - Good BuyI have had a few GPS units in this category and this is the best. This GPS unit does everything it claims very well except for the electronic compass. The unit must be held level for the compass to work properly. Typical mounting on a boat is not level. It would be better if the base map was more detailed. Visit mountguysdotcom for good mounting hardware. Rating: - Dependable.Good GPS. Had trouble with the registration at GARMIN because there is confusion on what numbers to type in. However, the Amazon representative was extremely helpful in trying to solve the problem. I needed it for my master's thesis. Everyone was helpful!. Rating: - GREAT FOR GEOCACHING!My fiance' got this GPS when working at a boating store. Because of working there for 8 years, he knows GPS like the back of his hand. He prefers Garmin, and got this when it first came out. We recently got into Geocaching, and this GPS has not failed us once. It takes us within 8 feet of the cache. It doesn't go all over, and even under heavy tree coverage, it works great. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable GPS.
