Refreshing a GPS
Standard
The GPSMAP 76CSx is a refreshing upgrade of
the GPSMAP 76CS, 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. The GPSMAP 76CSx also incorporates a barometric altimeter for
extremely accurate elevation data and an electronic compass that displays an
accurate heading while standing still.
Considered the mainstay among serious outdoor
enthusiasts, the GPSMAP 76CSx and GPSMAP 76Cx 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.
