Garmin 76c Manuale Proprietario

Garmin MapSource

CD-ROM’s offer a variety of detailed mapping 

data and navigation information. 

MapSource is also an excellent medium 

for storage and safety backup of Personal 

Waypoints, Routes and Saved Tracks.

See your Garmin Dealer or visit the Garmin web 

site at: www.garmin.com 

for information on which maps work with the 

GPSmap 76C.

provide elevation data 

at any point identified by the

If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping program 

you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning use to provide 
your unit with maximum Find features and mapping capability. The 
GPSmap 76C accepts up to 115 MB of map data from most MapSource 
products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps into Garmin products.

You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same loca-

tion at the same time (one displays over the other). When navigating a 
City Select map area, for example, and enter another map covering the 
same area, the map higher in the MapSource hierarchy displays over the 
other.

Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy will display over any other map 

information. Because new maps are constantly being released, consult your 
Garmin Dealer or the Garmin website to determine the order of hierarchy.

 Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource 

CD-ROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this 
unit. Follow detailed instructions for data transfer in the MapSource 
User’s Manual. Note that downloading maps overwrites any maps already 
downloaded to the unit. This includes the Marine Points of Interest data-
base provided with the GPSmap 76C.

It is also important to note that certain features contained in the 

GPSmap 76C are not enabled unless you are using mapping data they are 
designed to support, such as many of the Find Features and DEM Eleva-
tion Profi les. Visit the Garmin website for details on all of the maps you 
can use with the GPSmap 76C.
