Turning on the GPSMAP 76
When the GPSMAP 76 is turned on, the Welcome
page is displayed, followed by the Information and
Warning pages. Acknowledge each of these pages by
pressing the PAGE key. The GPS Information page
is now displayed. The unit must now collect satellite

initialization, the GPSMAP 76 is shipped from the
factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver
to “find itself” anywhere in the world. Before you turn
on the unit to start initialization, be sure the antenna
has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky to receive
satellite signals.
