New Product Announcement
GPSMAP â
76S
Handheld Electronic Map w. Sensors
GARMIN is pleased to announce the
GPSMAP 76S.
In addition to those features found
in the popular GPSMAP 76, the new GPSMAP 76S ("S" for sensors) offers
a built-in electronic compass, barometric sensor, 24 megabytes of internal
memory and 5,000 track points. Unlike a traditional GPS, which requires movement
to show a heading, the built-in electronic compass will give a heading while the
user is standing still. The barometric altimeter provides extremely accurate
elevation and pressure information, which could assist in identifying weather
trends and best fishing opportunities.
The GPSMAP 76S is designed to
receive correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS).
The GPSMAP 76S provides large number displays and graphic navigation screens,
all easily accessible through GARMIN’s user-friendly operating system. A
built-in basemap contains major cities, motorways, coastlines and more. This
unit has 24 megabytes of internal user memory for storing optional MapSourceTM
detailed maps, including BlueChartä marine cartography. This memory is
preloaded from the factory with worldwide cities (populations greater than
200,000) and nautical navigation aids such as lights and buoys.
