| Product Description Garmin's GPSMap 76CS is a state-of-the-art handheld marine GPS unit with a vivid, sunlight-readable color display, sizeable internal memory, and fast USB connectivity. Central to the device is its high-resolution, highly reflective, 256-color TFT display and LED backlight, implemented so you can navigate in either broad daylight or complete darkness, as your schedule dictates. The unit retains the overall sleek and easy-to-use design of earlier generations of the GPSMap 76 family, including its rugged, buoyant, waterproof housing. |

GPS Driver problems I purchased the Garwin 76CS, then soon afterward purchased both MapSource 'Bluechart' and MapSource 'City Navigator'. The 76CS seems to be in perfect working order, however, once I installed both MapSource programs and unlocked them, either the MapSource programs or my computer will not recognize the GPS unit. I have tried to update the drivers to no end, and I am still having no luck. I have spent around 4 hours on the phone with someone in Garmin's technical department; this has not solved my problem. If anyone has had a simular problem with getting MapSource to recognize the GPS 76CS unit, [...]Thanks. KA
Works well I purchased this with the Bluechart Maps on CD. I find it very useful navigating my local costal waters. Of course a big screen would be better, but then it would not be portable.
garmin 76cs This is the first gps unit I have bought, and it does most everything I hoped it would. I can load up both the city select maps and the topographic maps at the same time (you do have to pick which one to view, though, since it only displays one at a time) so I can navigate over the roads to a national park, then switch to the topographic map & go hiking.
Getting the 76 with its 115MB of memory was definitely a good idea--I took a trip of several hundred miles including a couple of major urban areas and I needed about 70MB to put in full detail maps of everything along my route.
Another thing I like is the AA batteries. One set lasts about a day and a half for me (a day being 10-12 hrs of continuous use), so if I am camping I just take a few extra sets and swap batteries when they get low (I don't know what you do with rechargables when there is no electricity!)
A pleasant surprise was the sunlight-readable color display--it really is readable in direct sunlight! (unlike my cell phone's color display)
It did take me several hours of playing around & a couple of test runs before I got familiar with it, but in the end it became pretty easy to use. |
