CAUTION: Use the GPSMAP 176/176C at your own risk. To reduce the 

risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this 

Owner’s Manual—and thoroughly practice operation using Simulator Mode 

prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the 

GPSMAP 176/176C to all available navigation sources, including information 

from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any 

discrepancies before continuing navigation.
CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT 

PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A 

NAVIGATIONAL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE 

REQUIRING PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, 

LOCATION OR TOPOGRAPHY. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED 

TO DETERMINE GROUND PROXIMITY FOR AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION.
CAUTION: The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to 

facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not replace them. Only official 

government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed for 

save navigation—and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use. 
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 governmental 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 176/176C 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 additional information, please refer 

to our Web site at http://www.garmin.com/prop65.
Because the Garmin GPSMAP 176/176C can be used for vehicular navigation, 

important safety considerations must be followed. Please read and observe the 

following instructions.

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/

operator of a vehicle with the GPSMAP 176/176C installed to place and secure 

the device so it will not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and safety 

devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or cause or personal
