Garmin GPSMAP 176

Manufacturer: GARMIN INTERNATIONAL

The GPSMAP 176 is a 12 parallel channel, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver with an extra-large display that makes keeping your eye on the map easy. The display measures 3.80 inches diagonal and delivers a crisp picture thanks to a pixel count of 320 x 240.

On the inside, the GPSMAP 176 comes equipped with a built-in worldwide basemap and tide data for the United States. The unit is enhanced by GARMIN's BlueChart™ marine cartography, a miniature-size chip that inserts into the unit and provides additional offshore map detail. The cartography includes detailed depth contours, inter-tidal zones, spot soundings, wrecks, navaids, port plans, restricted areas, cable areas, anchorages and much more. For use in a car, the GPSMAP 176 can accept downloadable information from our MapSource line including GARMIN's MetroGuide U.S.A. and Fishing Hot Spots CD-ROM. A special mounting bracket is available that will allow the GPSMAP 176 to be temporarily mounted in a car.

The GPSMAP 176C is just like the 176 but comes with an extra large, 16-color display.
