Interface keys

The IN and OUT keys are used on the Map Page and the Plot Page. When

pressed, the IN key will decrease the map scale (Map Page) or decrease

the horizontal scale (Plot Page) allowing you to view a smaller area with

greater detail.

When pressed the OUT key will increase the map scale (Map Page) or the hori-

zontal scale (Plot Page) allowing you to view a larger area with less detail.

The NAV/MOB key is used to begin or stop navigation. If the NAV/MOB

key is pressed and held down, the GPS stores the current location (a man

overboard point) and gives you the opportunity to begin immediate navigation to

that point.

The PAGE key will cycle you through the six main display pages in

sequence. When held it toggles the compass on and off.

The POWER key is used to turn the unit on and off. To turn the unit

off press the POWER key and hold it. The POWER key is also used to

display the adjustment window for the backlight and contrast adjustment. To

activate the backlight/contrast adjustment window with the unit on, press and

release the POWER key.

The MENU key is used to display page option menus. If pressed twice,

the Main Menu will be displayed.

The QUIT key will cycle you through the ﬁve main display pages in

reverse sequence. The QUIT key will end an operation in progress and

display the previous page.

The ENTER key is used to activate a data ﬁeld or conﬁrm a selection. If

the ENTER key is pressed and held, the GPSMAP 76S will store the cur-

rent location and display the Mark Waypoint page.

The ROCKER key, located in the center of the keypad, is used to control

the Up/Down and Left/Right movement of the cursor on the display pages

and during data entry.

This exercise will provide you with the knowledge and skill to navigate the

pages and menus of your GPSMAP 76S with conﬁdence.

As we progress through this Quick Start Guide you will often be directed to

press a speciﬁed Interface key or highlight a ﬁeld. When you are directed to press

a key, you should press, then release the key. If the key needs to be held down

for a period of time, the instruction will tell you. The position of the highlight

is controlled by the ROCKER key. When a ﬁeld is highlighted, a dark strip will

encompass the ﬁeld.

Let’s start by taking a look at the six main display pages. They are the GPS

Information Page, Map Page, Compass Page, Highway Page, Active Route Page

and the Plot Page. You can cycle through these pages by pressing either the

PAGE or QUIT key. When the GPSMAP 76S is turned on a Welcome Page will be

displayed, followed by an Information Page and a Warning Page. Acknowledge

each of these pages by pressing the PAGE key while they are displayed. The GPS

Information Page will now be displayed.

While learning the basic operation of the GPSMAP 76S, let’s put the unit

into Simulator Mode. The Simulator Mode is great for practicing with the unit

while inside and satellite signals are not available. When the GPSMAP 76S is in

Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off (this will help conserve battery

power) and the unit cannot be used for actual navigation.

NOTE: Do not try to navigate using the Simulator Mode. While in the

Simulator Mode, the GPS receiver is turned off. Any Satellite Signal

Strength Indicators displayed are only simulations and do not indicate

the strength of actual satellite signals.

Activating the Simulator Mode

Press the POWER key to turn the unit on. The Welcome Page will be

displayed, press the PAGE key twice to display the GPS Information Page.

Putting the GPSMAP 76S in Simulator Mode:

1. With the GPS Information Page displayed press the MENU key.

2. Using the ROCKER key, highlight ‘Start Simulator’ then press the ENTER key

to activate the simulator.

When the Simulator Mode is active, the message ‘Simulating GPS’ will be

displayed along the top of the GPS Information Page.

Using the Interface keys

The Interface keys are your link with the GPSMAP 76S. Let’s take a few

minutes and see what some of the Interface keys are used for.

With the GPS Information Page displayed, press the PAGE key several times.

Notice that each time you press the PAGE key, the next main page will be

displayed. Do the same with the QUIT key. Notice the QUIT key acts the same

as the PAGE key except the pages are displayed in a reverse sequence. Press the

PAGE key until the Map Page is displayed.

Each main page has an Options Menu. This Option Menu contains the setup

options, and/or functions that apply to that page.

To display the Map Page Options Menu:

1. Press the MENU key.

Selecting an item on the Options Menu:

1. Using the ROCKER key, highlight ‘Setup Map’.

2. Press ENTER.

Many of the Option and Setup menus in the GPSMAP 76S are arranged in a

‘Tab’ layout. Use the Left /Right ROCKER key to move from Tab to Tab.

The options for each page are covered in depth in the Reference Manual.

For now press the QUIT key. Notice that when you pressed the QUIT key, the

current function was stopped and you were returned to the last main page that

was displayed. This is good to know as you are learning how to use this unit.

If you ﬁnd that you are lost, or if you start a function that you really did not

want, just press the QUIT key.

Entering Data

There will be many times that you may need to enter data. An example is

naming a waypoint. The ROCKER key is used to navigate through menu items

and to enter data.

Let’s combine a couple of lessons. We will create a new waypoint, enter a

waypoint name, and assign a symbol to the waypoint.

The term ‘Waypoint’ may be new to you. You will ﬁnd the term Waypoint is

used frequently when talking about navigation. A Waypoint is a position stored in

the unit’s memory. Waypoints are used for direct navigation or to build a Route.

Creating or ‘Marking’ a waypoint with the GPSMAP 76S is easy. The unit has

to be turned on, and receiving at least three satellites (or simulating navigation)

to mark a waypoint.

Marking a waypoint:

1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key.

When the ENTER/MARK key is held down, the MARK function of the key

is activated and the GPSMAP 76S will capture it’s current position. The unit will

then display the Mark Waypoint Page. By default, the unit will assign a square as

the symbol and a number as the name and the ‘OK’ Button will be highlighted.

Pressing the ENTER key again would save the waypoint using the default name

and symbol, but let’s change them to something more meaningful.

Changing the symbol:

1. Using the ROCKER key, highlight the Symbol Field, then press ENTER.

2. Using the ROCKER key, highlight the ‘Scenic Area’ symbol, then press ENTER.

Mark Waypoint Page

190-00249-01_0A.indd 8 9/1/2004, 10:58:38 AM

Changing the name:

1. Using the ROCKER key, highlight the Name Field then press the ENTER key.

2. Press the ROCKER key to the left, this will clear the name ﬁeld.

3. Press the ROCKER key up, scroll through the alpha-numeric list until the letter

‘C’ is selected.

4. Press the ROCKER key right to move to the next placeholder.

5. Press the ROCKER key down, scroll through the alpha-numeric list until the

letter ‘R’ is selected.

You should be starting to get the feel of it. Continue entering letters until you

have spelled the word CREEK.

6. With the letter ‘K’ highlighted, press the ENTER key to accept the name.

You can enter any name that you like as long as it does not exceed ten charac-

ters, and does not duplicate a previously saved waypoint.

When you have ﬁnished renaming the waypoint you will need to store it in

the units’ memory.

To store the waypoint:

1. Using the ROCKER key, highlight the ‘OK’ Button and press the ENTER key.

These are the same steps that you will use to enter names and change numbers

and select options in all of the ﬁelds in the GPSMAP 76S.

Here are a couple of tips:

1. If you press and hold the ROCKER key while scrolling through the alpha-

numeric list, it will move quickly.

2. You can scroll through the alpha-numeric list in either direction.

3. Don’t press the ENTER key until you have ﬁnished entering the data.

Remember, use the ROCKER key to move to the next placeholder.
