Garmin GPSMAP 176 User manual

WITH WAAS
for even greater accuracy
GPSMAP®176 and 176C
Since space is at a premium on most
boats, we maximized the display on this
chartplotter while keeping overall size
slim and compact. Whether you choose
the bright, 16-color transflective screen
of the GPSMAP®176C or the 12-level
grayscale display of the GPSMAP 176,
you’ll get a clear picture of where you
are on the map. Both units offer excellent
built-in maps, and they accept data from
preprogrammed data cards or MapSource™
CD-ROMs with BlueChart™marine
cartography. Additional cartography
includes offshore marine detail, navaids,
street addresses, restaurants, services and
more. And they are portable, so they
easily go from your boat to your vehicle.
