Introduction
The GPSmap 76C complies with Part 15 of the FCC interference
limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These
limits are designed to provide more reasonable protection against harm-
ful interference in a residential installation, and are more stringent than
“outdoor” requirements.
Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

responsible for their prudent use.
Warnings and Precautions
Introduction
v
GPSmap 76C
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to
provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that
is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of govern-
mental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product
literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually
all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree.
This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and
accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.
WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin
GPSmap 76C is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any
NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with
California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like addi-
tional information, please refer to our web site at http://www.garmin.com/

GPSmap 76C
Safety Warnings and Cautions—Read This First!
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the
owner/operator of a vehicle with the GPSmap 76C installed to place and
secure the device so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating
controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving condi-
tions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.
Do not mount the unit over airbag panels or in the fi eld of airbag
deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects
in their path towards the vehicle driver or passengers causing possible
injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner’s
manual.
Do not mount the unit in a place where the driver or passengers are
likely to impact it in a collision. The mounting hardware provided by
Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences
thereof.
WARNING: When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the
driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain
full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become
distracted by the unit to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is
unsafe to operate the controls of the unit while you are driving. Failure
by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a GPSmap 76C installed to pay
full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident with property damage and
personal injury.

Battery Installation and
Start Up
Important Note
When replacing batteries, use only new or fully
charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH bat-
teries. Rechargeable batteries may typically display less
capacity than disposable batteries.
Remove the batteries from the unit if you don’t plan
to use it for several months. Storing batteries in the
unit for prolonged periods may result in leakage and
damage to the battery compartment.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care
and disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate used
batteries, as internal materials may ignite with explosive
violence.
Extensive use of backlighting and/or WAAS as well as
key beep tones will signifi cantly reduce battery life.
To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 48.
To disable WAAS, see page 47.
To mute the beep tones, see page 50.
Getting Started
Installing the Batteries
The GPSmap 76C operates on two “AA” batteries (not included),
which are located in the back of the unit. Alkaline or NiMH batteries
(see page 47 for setting the battery type) may be used. Stored data is
not lost when the batteries are removed.
T
o install batteries:
1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the unit. Turn the
D-Ring 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and then pull.

Options
Menu
Starting Up the GPS Receiver
When you turn on the GPSmap 76C, the GPS receiver begins to
search for satellites in order to determine (fi x) its location. This process
is called “initialization” and can take from 5 to 15 minutes the fi rst time
you use your unit. Thereafter, if you haven’t moved more than 600 miles
from your original location, it takes only seconds to minutes. In order to
receive satellite signals, you must be outdoors and have a clear view of
the sky. Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass)
or dense overhead tree cover. To shorten the time required for initializa-
tion, select “New Location” from the options menu, then use the Map
Page to determine your general location
so the
GPSmap 76C
can search
for those satellites above you.
T
o initialize your GPSmap 76C:
1. Press and release the key to turn on the unit. POWER
2. Observe the “Power On” Page followed by the Satellite Page.
3. While the GPS receiver is searching for the satellite signals, a
“Locating Satellites” message is replaced by an Acquiring
Satel-
lites” message until enough signals are acquired to fi x its location.
If the unit cannot get a satellite fi x, a list of solutions appears.
Highlight the appropriate solution and press .ENTER
You can also observe a sky view array of the satellites overhead with
your position centered in the array. The outer circle represents the hori-
zon and the inner circle a position 45o from the horizon. The numbers
displayed indicate the number assigned to each satellite. A bar graph at
the bottom of the page displays the strength of signals from each satellite.
Heading Bug
indicates your
direction of
movement.

4. When the receiver has signals from at least three satellites, the
display at the top of the page will change to indicate position
accuracy and location coordinates. The Status Bar at the
top of
the display indicates the GPS status and status of other
features.
If, for any reason, you have diffi culty initializing your GPSmap 76C,
the solution could be as simple as moving slightly to avoid objects that
are blocking or defl ecting the satellite signals.
5. Press and release the key until the Map Page is dis-PAGE
played. You are now ready to begin GPS aided navigation.
Active Navigation is supported by three of the Main Pages:
The graphically shows you map details, your current loca-Map Page
tion, marks your route to a destination with a route line, and leaves a trail
(track log) of where you’ve been.
The indicates direction to go and direction of travel. Compass Page
The Trip Computer Page records and displays travel data.
There are three methods of navigating to a destination when using the
GPSmap 76C’, each graphically displayed on the .Map Page
Go To -
A direct path to a selected destination (waypoint, city, address, etc.).
Track - A previous path of travel that has been stored (logged) in the
GPSmap 76C.
A Track allows you to repeat or retrace a path.
Route - A path to a destination consisting of intermediate stops along
the way (waypoints, cities, exits, points of interest, intersections, etc.).
Refer to the sections on Tracks, Routes and Waypoints for details.

The Map Page Using the Map Page
The Map Page is the primary navigation feature of the GPSmap 76C.
The Map Page displays a detailed map of the area surrounding your cur-
rent location. It allows you to pan the map with the key as well ROCKER
as view your progress when navigating. When in the “Track Up” mode
(oriented in the direction of travel), a north reference arrow appears at the
top left corner to orient the map. When in the “North Up” mode the map
is oriented like a paper map. When you activate the
Track Log feature,
your path of movement is indicated by a dotted line. The map display can
be changed to “Night” mode for easier viewing in dim light. The factory
set default automatically changes the display at sunrise and sunset.
The map also displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes,
highways, towns and Tide Prediction Stations contained in the basemaps
included with the unit. The maps to the left show a higher level of detail
than the basemaps provided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks,
etc.) because Garmin MapSource
® detailed mapping data has been down-
loaded from a CD-ROM program.
You can use the Map Page to:
• Determine your current location and progress while moving.
• Select and save a map point as a waypoint.
• Locate and navigate to map items by following a Route displayed
on the map.
• Customize the map display to your requirements.

The Compass Page Using the Compass Page
The Compass Page is your guide to accurate and efficient navigation. It
uses traditional navigation displays to provide navigation information.
Whenever navigation is in progress, the Compass Page provides
navigation data and directions. It uses a graphic compass display and a
bearing pointer along with digital data fields to display information such
as current speed, distance to the next point on the route, estimated arrival
time, etc. You can choose from three or four data fields and select the
type of data displayed in each from a list of options.
When moving, the rotating graphic compass indicates the direction
you are heading. The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction (bearing) to
your destination, relative to your current heading direction. The compass
dial and bearing pointer work independently to show your direction
of movement and the direction to your destination. You can choose
between a Bearing Pointer or a Course Pointer for guidance.
The compass does not function as a magnetic compass when you are
stationary. However when you move, the dial rotates to keep you oriented
in relation to North. This is especially helpful when using a paper map in
conjunction with your unit for navigation.

towards that direction until the arrow is pointing up and then continue
in that direction. If you are using the ‘Course Pointer option instead and

S
earching for a map item is simplifi ed by separating the map database
into groups which are shown as icons on the Find Menu Page.
• When you access a Find group list, by default it will contain only
those items near your current location or the Panning Arrow (if active).
• To save effort in searching again for an item already found, you can
use the “Recent Finds” group which contains a list of 50 last found
items of all categories.
The options menu for each map item group offers its own unique
search options such as “Find By Name”, “Find Nearest”, “Select Symbol”
(for Waypoints), “Change Reference” ( by moving the map Panning Arrow
to a new location), “Nearest Containing” (a key word you enter), “Select
Category” (for those groups such as Food and Drink, Lodging, etc.). Using
these options can effectively shorten your
