The Garmin GPSMAP® 76Cx is a refreshing upgrade of the Garmin GPSMAP 76C, 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.

Considered the mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin GPSMAP 76Cx and Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx offer a large colour TFT display and turn-by-turn routing capability. These units also float when dropped in the water. Owners of these new x-series handhelds can also purchase new microSD cards that are pre-loaded with MapSource® BlueChart® marine cartography, and City NavigatorTM street maps.
