The bouyant case is water-resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes). The built-in 115 MB of memory, Americas Autoroute basemap with major interstates and highways, and Marine Point database with navigational aids for North and South America make the GPSMap 76C ready to go right out of the box.

The unit offers up to 30 hours of power on two AA alkaline batteries, and there's no need to worry about data loss when the juice runs out.

Other features include the ability to program 1,000 user waypoints with name and graphic symbol and to track 50 reversible routes. The unit supports a wide range of position formats: Lat/Lon, UTM, Loran TDs, Maidenhead, MGRS, user grid, and more. Audible alarms alert users for anchor drag, arrival, off-course, proximity waypoint, and clock.
