GPSMAP 76Cx Handheld GPS, Americas Basemap
The GPSMAP 76Cx adds a whole new dimension to the mariner-friendly 76-series navigators: A high-sensitivity GPS receiver, microSD™ card slot, color TFT screen and turn-by-turn routing—features that have made the 76Cx and its counterpart, the GPSMAP 76CSx, a mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts.
Navigate the Great Outdoors
Find your way through the wilderness with the GPSMAP 76Cx’s high-sensitivity GPS receiver, which acquires satellite signals quickly and tracks your location in challenging conditions, such as heavy tree cover or deep canyons. The 76Cx’s bright, color TFT display makes it easy to distinguish details on the screen in any kind of lighting. And, like the rest of the 76-series, 76Cx is IPX7 waterproof and even floats in water.
Expand Your Memory
Storing data is easier than ever with the 76Cx’s removable microSDâ„¢ card. This included blank card stores up to 128 MB of optional maps or other data. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don’t have to worry about getting it wet. When navigating on the road, the 76Cx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. It also accepts optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource® data for your off-road and marine excursions.
