The
Garmin GPSMAP 176c Review
The GPSMAP 176 (shown
behind) and 176C (shown front) are 12 parallel
channel, WAAS-enabled GPS receivers with
an extra-large display that makes keeping
your eye on the map easy. Whether you choose
the 12-level gray high-contrast FSTN on
the GPSMAP 176, or the 16-color TFT on the
176C, you'll get a display that measures
3.80 inches diagonally and delivers a crisp
picture thanks to a pixel count of 320 x
240. Both screens ensure you'll have the
best view of all the map detail in any lighting
condition.
On the inside, the GPSMAP 176 and 176C
come equipped with a built-in basemap and
are 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 and 176C can accept downloadable
information from most Garmin MapSource®
products such as MetroGuide® U.S.A.
CD-ROM (data card and usb card programmer
required). A special mounting bracket is
available that will allow this product to
be temporarily mounted in a car.
