sat lock even in old growth redwoods I upgraded to this machine from an 5 year old garmin vista. It excels in every respect and I wish that I would have purchased it when it first hit the market. I tested it out by taking it to redwood national park and driving the parkway and hiking through the redwoods. never once did the trackline waver or did the gps loose the sat connection. it seems that the SiRF chip does the job very well. Which is way better that the old vista which lost sats immediately upon entering the canopy. [Read 's Complete Review for Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx Handheld GPS Unit (0100046900) at Amazon.com] |

The Garmin GPSMap 76CSx is Outstanding The Garmin GPSMap 76CSx has all the features I was looking for in one unit. It is light weight, easy to read, and easy to set up and run. You absolutely must purchase an upgraded map, as the base map is not really effective. It is very accurate. The first night I got it and was setting it up, I acquired 4+ satellites from inside my house during a thunderstorm. It is very sensitive! I haven't had it out under heavy tree cover yet but based on what I have seen so far I don't doubt it will pe...

Garmin 76CSx Very Good but not perfect The electronics of the Garmin 76CSx are outstanding but it has two flaws which weaken the product. The ergonomics of button placement for accessing menus and keyboard are the worst of any Garmin I have owned. They are packed too close together. The placement of the bottons on the eTrex series was better but the rubber protective band for them failed to hold up. The full power of the electronics is only available to hackers or by communicating with them. A more thorough up to date manual wou...

Nice unit Nice unit, good screen, great battery life, good barometric elevation sensor. The only thing I would change is to have it come with auto-routing maps (city navigator) rather than the auto-routing base map (horrible). Even a straight goto line would be preferable sometimes. Other than that, it can take 2G memory cards, which is a LOT of mapping; I load metroguide maps, topo maps to exhaustion (mine). Floats, supposedly, but I haven't had the..luck..to verify this. Satellite reception is tre... [Read 's Complete Review for Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx Handheld GPS Unit (0100046900) at Amazon.com] |

Features
The GPSMAP 76CSx adds a whole new dimension to the mariner-friendly 76-series navigators: a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, barometric altimeter and electronic compass, microSD™ card slot, color TFT screen and turn-by-turn routing — features that have made the 76CSx and its counterpart, the GPSMAP 76Cx, a mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts.
Navigate the Great Outdoors
Find your way through the wilderness with the GPSMAP 76CSx'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. You can use the built-in electronic compass to view bearing information even while you're standing still, and the barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric or ambient pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. The 76CSx'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, 76CSx is IPX7 waterproof and even floats in water.
Expand Your Memory
Storing data is easier than ever with the 76CSx's removable microSD card. This included blank card stores up to 128 megabytes (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 76CSx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. It also accepts optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource® data for your off-road or marine excursions.
