If you're a devoted mariner or serious outdoor enthusiast, Garmin GPSMAP 76S is the GPS/mapping unit for you. The "S" in the product name stands for "sensors", because the GPSMAP 76S incorporates a GPS receiver, barometric altimeter, and an electronic compass that deliver precise location, elevation, and bearing information to take adventurers as high or as far as they want to go. The unit also contains a basemap of North and South America, including major highways, thoroughfares, rivers, lakes, and borders, with plenty of memory (24 MB) for downloading MapSource data. It's also waterproof and floats in water - and its larger screen, increased readability, bigger buttons, and rugged design make this unit at home in even the harshest conditions.

Evaluation:
Conclusion: Poor maps without additional software
Review: Need additional map software for anything but MAIN highways. Lots of software available, but a bit of a disappointment. Replacing an older Garmin, expected better map built in.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: hand held GPS
Review: I really like the map 76s, but if i Knew the 76CSX was going on sale within a few days I would hav opted for the latter.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Very good team
Review: They handed in time, the product came in good condition, met the time promised, Price mint
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Very good little GPS
Review: Very nice unit. I bought it for use in a snowcat and it has worked great for over a year, even being subject to constant shock and vibration, and extreme temperatures. I use an external antenna and the unit locks very quickly to the satellites but it works fine with the internal antenna, too.
The screen is a little hard to read when you load topo maps into it, mostly because it's monochrome and there can be a lot of lines and data on the screen at once.
I wouldn't use it for high-speed navigation (ie: in a car), but for walking, hiking, or even snowmobiling it is perfect. The trip computer and Tracks are a must-have for those who venture off the beaten path.
All in all, I'd recommend this unit for it's price and features.

Conclusion: It's Not What it Used to Be
Review: For years I used a Garmin 48 GPS on my boat, but, as it happens it was stolen and I needed to replace it. While the 48 did not have soundings or coast lines it did have all aids to navigation with full descriptions. You could tell which blinking light was which. Place the cursor on the mark and it would tell you it was a FL R 10s (flashing red every 10 seconds). And this data was part of the base unit. Beware the "basemap" that comes with all Garmin units has almost no aids to navigation at all. And the "Blue Charts", while providing so much data as too make using a 20 mile view almost useless, DOES NOT CONTAIN LIGHT DESCIPTIONS AT ALL. A channel marker is only "2" or "3". So, buyer beware, the new Garmin products have less practical navigation value than the older units have.
