Setup Menu — 'Units' Tab
The 'Units' Tab contains settings for Elevation, Depth, Distance and Speed,
Temperature, Direction Display, and Speed Filter. These settings are used in
related fi elds throughout the unit.
'Elevation' — Can be set to show in 'Feet' or 'Meters'.
'Depth' — Can be set to display in 'Feet', 'Fathoms' and 'Meters'. The
GPSMAP 76 cannot measure depth on its own. The depth input has to come
from a NMEA device providing the "DPT" sentence.
'Distance and Speed' — Can be set to 'Nautical', 'Statute' or 'Metric'.
'Temperature' — Can be set to 'Fahrenheit' or 'Celsius'.
'Direction Display' — Can be set to 'Numeric Degrees' or 'Cardinal Letters'.
The setting will be used in all fi elds that relate to direction throughout the
unit.
'Speed Filter' — Can be set to 'Auto' or a 'User' defi ned setting. If 'User' is
selected, a Seconds fi eld will be displayed. To enter a 'User' defi ned setting,
highlight the Seconds fi eld then press ENTER. When fi nished, press ENTER
to save the entry. When using a 'User' defi ned setting, the unit will average
the speed and heading at the rate specifi ed in the time setting.
Setup Menu — 'Location' Tab
The 'Location' Tab contains the settings for 'Location Format', 'Map Datum',
'North Reference' and 'Magnetic Variation'. The settings are used in related fi elds
throughout the unit.
'Location Format' — There are 28 different formats to choose from. See the
sidebar for a list of the formats. You should not need to change the format
unless you are using a chart or paper map for navigation. If so, fi nd the
format that most closely matches your chart or map.
