GPSmap 76 S

It is just the right instrument for marine as well as mountains.The advantages of the marine handheld instrument GPSmap 76, with 24 Mbyte memory capacity indeed, are combined with the advantages of the eTrex Summit, which are the electronic compass and the barometric altimeter.

GPSMAP 76S Europe is not only waterproof, but also floatable; it has all important acoustic alarm functiones, e.g. MOB, anchor, proximity.

Many new functiones enormously enlarge the user`s possibilities.

There is an inbuilt data memory of 24 MByte charts - e.g. Garmins MetroGuide DVD. Detailed international base map with main roads / rivers / lakes. Marine data base with nautical navaids like lights, beacons.

It operates 10 hours with only two Mignon - batteries. 
There are connections for an external active antenna and power supply.

- Built-in Trip-Computer with odometer, stopwatch, average data, times and speeds.

- Saves 10000 trackpoints, 1000 waypoints and 50 routes with up to 49 Waypoints each.

- Akoustic alarm functiones: cross track error, proximity waypoint, arrival, anchor drag, depths, shallows.

- The innovative TracBack- function automatically records the waypoints to retrace the path of travel to the starting point safe and fast.
