The rugged and waterproof Garmin GPSMAP 76 is an ideal starting point into the handheld GPS arena. Whether you’re looking for a GPS unit for your backpack, fishing box, or a backup to your boat’s marine navigation system, the GPSMAP 76 has you covered. Its four-level grayscale display is clear and easy-to read, even in sunlight, and features an LED backlight for dark conditions. The 7.7-ounce unit features a molded grip and a sturdy case, and runs up to 16 hours on a set of 2 AA batteries.
The GPSMAP 76’s WAAS-enabled receiver locates your position to within 10 feet, and it floats, so if you fall in the river, or the unit falls overboard, it’ll all be OK. Store up to 1,000 favorites, 50 routes, and 10 saved tracks for later use. The unit comes pre-loaded with the North America Basemap. Connect the unit to your computer to download additional waypoints, maps, and marine charts to the unit’s internal memory. This is a great choice for all your outdoor activities!

waterproof
- Pros: Seems ok
- Cons: The battary compartment leaked in salt water and now the thing does not work at all. I suspect Newegg will send me another one and I can evaluate it. Just don't rely only on a gps on your venture.
- Other Thoughts: I never really got the hang of thi unit until it failed. I was on a kakak trip and noticed the battary compartment was very hot. Water had entered. Dried it out and put in new battaries but still no go.
