The 76CSx features a removable microSD card for detailed mapping memory and a waterproof, rugged housing. View larger. |
The GPSMap 76CSx features the powerful SiRF GPS navigation chip, as well as an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter.
|
The trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. |
You can use the 76CSx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products, including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas autoroute basemap that provides automatic routing capabilities including highways, exits, and tide data. There's also a preloaded marine point database. You can even get turn-by-turn directions when you're driving, and an integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more.
The 76CSx's 2.6-inch, 256-color TFT color display is designed to present mapping and trip information clearly and accurately in any lighting conditions. Plus, the case is lightweight, rugged, and water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes). Marine users will also like the fact that the 76CSx floats. When using two AA alkaline batteries, you'll get up to 20 hours of battery life from the unit.
Another key feature of the 76CSx is the 10,000 point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. Meanwhile, there's a large numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. The unit also includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations. You also get audible alarms for anchor drag, arrival, off-course, proximity waypoint, and clock. The unit's barometric altimeter system features automatic pressure trend recording while providing current elevation, ascent/descent rate, minimum/maximum elevation, total ascent and descent, and average and maximum ascent and descent rate. Meanwhile, the electronic compass allows you to get accurate headings while standing still.
The 76CSx's trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. Meanwhile, a fast processor allows the 60Cx to provide quick auto-routing, turn-by-turn directions, and audio alerts when you use the optional MapSource software, which can be stored on the unit's included 128 MB microSD card. Downloading information is quick with the USB or serial port interfaces. Using the dedicated serial port, the 76CSx can share navigation instructions with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots.
If you like the features of the 76CSx but don't need an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin GPSMap 76Cx.

GPSMAP75CSx.......2008-01-01
Excellent product. Flawless design and unit works very well. Replaces my GPS-12 (which worked well for what it was) and the 76CSx is somwhat similar to my old unit so learning the new one was a snap.
Standard map is very basic but will be fine for travelling on major highways. I opted for the City Navigator NT and a 2G memory card. The whole City Navigator (all of USA plus some) takes up a little more than 1G.
Reception is outstanding in the car, or even in my house. Anywhere outside it picks up strong signals. I use it in the car and out while riding my bike to keep track of where I went.
I highly recommend this unit.
Garmin GPSMap 76Csx Mapping Handheld GPS.......2008-01-01
This unit does everything Garmin says it will do and does it flawlessly. Battery draw down time is very exceptable even in cold weather. We have gotten it soaked with snow and ice. The first day we had it I hid twelve gifts in deep woods in a twenty acre area. I set waypoints for each gift and erased my tracks. Even in fast falling, blowing, and drifting snow my kids where able to navigate to all twelve gifts within an hour. What a blast. I strongly recommend adding Garmins Mapsource City Navigator for on road adventures. The unit gives extremely accurate on road directions (in print-no voice)and seems very up to date at least for our area in Wisconsin. I also purchased the optional external antenne for my vehicle, which is perfect. The unit even receives well next to a window without the external antenne, at least in fairly open areas. Even in severe weather and cloud cover it seems accurate within about twelve feet. I really can't say enough good about this GPS. It is slightly more expensive than some of the lesser units, but WELL WORTH the cost.
Where am I and how do I get there?.......2007-12-11
This is a great GPS, just know that you will have to buy a full map if you want detailed GPS data. It has many helpful and fun functions that will keep you entertained and heading in the right direction. Also it gets amazing reception, I've never had to use the external antenna I bought even in remote parts of my trips. I am very please with my purchase, indeed.
Garmin 76Csx-" PAY at every turn".......2007-12-10
The 76CSX Mapping handheld is an example that sometimes small things come in big packages. For $299, you get very little, in the way of real functionality. You get only the most BASIC maps with the unit, so it is not worth much as a GPS-especially for the car- a TOMTOM one has better features for ($149.) It is usable as a car gps, but you need to buy a additional Microsd card(2 Gb- 1Gb for US maps). The included 128 Mb MicroSd is worthless, in reality. Now you must buy the map release( I had to buy the North America NT) Then the 2008 NT Update, then the unlock code. So $299 for the unit, (and then another $300 to get it to have the same functionality as the TOMTOM one for $149). The unit's manuals are VERY poor for teaching you the intended purpose- vague one- liners for definitions of keys, etc... so trying to understand the purpose of the keys is not intuitive. So overall, I would say tall on cost/promises, but low in actual value. Tech support is poor, also. I emailed tech support- got the reply 4 days later. Phone support was better, but the garmin rep gave me the wrong information, and as the result I bought software I do not need. The issue is, why should you need a different GPS in the car, and on the trail? Why can't Garmin design one unit that works well in BOTH worlds? To be able to pay Garmin for two sets of maps- Garmin- "Pay at every turn".
76 CSX - MARINE, PERO NO MUCHO........2007-12-07
I used the 76 CSX few times in my small boat in Brazil. The boat has a 90hp etech engine by BRP, a very quite engine. I was surprised by the fact that the unity has no volume control for its alarms. If your are navegating and getting close to a non visible object the alarm set for proximity will not be heard. It is very low volume.

Wow - this works!.......2007-12-20
This is a rude alarm clock--it fits it's purpose well. It has several settings (ie: vibe, vibe and buzz, lights flashing) - one of them is sure to work for you. One morning I knocked the vibe unit on the floor by accident and it was disturbing enough on the floor to get me up. Durable and highly recommended.
Sonic bomb.......2007-12-10
This is a good clock. While it can be loud, the volume can be adjusted for those who do not want to have a heart attack when they wake up. The bed shaker does a good job of waking you up too. If you sleep like a rock this is a good buy.
Sonic????.......2007-11-24
Good product not great. Wish it had a forklift attached to get my husband up in the morning. LOL
Better Than Most Cheap Alarm Clocks, But Not Worth $42.......2007-11-16
This is generally louder than most $10-$40 alarm clocks you find in the store. Although it's not as loud as I expected (but it is pretty loud than most alarm clocks). Unless you have some use for virbrating function (which I had no use for), it is not worth the $42.
I own a Magnavox Model MCR140 alarm clock (normal alarm clock purchased at the store) and it is EXTREMELY LOUD. I was so impressed with it when I bought it that I went back the next week and bought another one. You can search for "Magnavox MCR140" or "Magnavox MCR 140" (I saw a few sellers selling it on eBay and Amazon).
Since I already a very loud alarm clock (which is louder than this one), I thought it was redundant and a waste of $42 (unless you have some use for the vibrating function, which the Magnavox MCR140 does not have). The Magnavox MCR140 is so far the best alarm clock I ever owned.
Awsome. Check the switch on the back for htz and you're good to go........2007-11-14
Note: if you find it doesn't keep time properly, check the switch on the back and make sure it is set to the proper htz. there are 2: 60 and 50. One for US, the other for the rest of the world.
I am NOT a morning person. I tend to work 12-15 hours and -then- I get to go home. Everyday, 5 days a week... or 7. When you are lucky to get 4 hours a night and have to get up before dawn (most recently 21 days in a row of work) this thing has really done the trick waking me up. Getting up is another story, but it DOES wake me up. I only wish the cords were longer so I would acutally have to get out of bed to turn it off.
The volume is awsome, and between the matress and the box spring, it makes some noise as well. If you find you need the noise, be careful slapping the snooze button as you could turn the volume down (volume for buzz sound is just to the right of the large snooze button on top).
Other than those two things, (short cords for power and shaker, and volume too close to snooze) I'm very pleased. Best alarm clock I've ever had.
