The Setup Menu is arranged in a tab format. Each tab 

(General, Time, Units, Location, Alarms, Interface) 

contains the settings that determines how the unit 

functions. To select a tab, highlight the tab name using 

the ROCKER key (right/left). To select a data field on 

a tab, use the 

ROCKER key (up/down) to highlight the 

selection and press ENTER. To restore the GPSMAP 

76 setup menu to the factory settings, press MENU and 

with Restore Defaults highlighted press ENTER.

The General tab contains settings for the Receiver 

Mode, WAAS, Backlight Time Out, Beeper, and 

language. To change a setting highlight the field 

and press ENTER. Make your selection using the 

ROCKER key and press ENTER to activate.
Mode—selections are Normal, Battery Saver,  

and Simulator
Normal—is the default mode set from the factory. Use 

this setting for the best performance.

Battery Saver—optimizes the receiver to save battery 

power. When in the Battery Saver mode, you may 

experience slower screen updates, but should notice a 

significant increase in battery life. The unit does not 

receive WAAS in Battery Saver Mode.
Simulator—turns the GPS receiver off and the unit 

simulates satellite reception. Use the Simulator mode 

to practice indoors with the unit.
WAAS—is an acronym for “Wide Area Augmentation 

System.” The WAAS capability of the GPSMAP 76 

increases the accuracy to approximately 3 meters. 

When enabled, the GPS receiver searches for WAAS 

satellites. The WAAS satellite sends data that helps 

correct differentials in the GPS signal. When the unit 

is using WAAS data, a “D” appears in the Satellite 

Strength Indicators on the GPS Information page, and 

the receiver status indicates a 2D or 3D Differential 

Location. See the section “WAAS and DGPS” in the 

Appendix for more information.
