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

pages and menus of your GPSMAP 76S with confi dence. 

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

press a specifi ed Interface key or highlight a fi eld.  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 fi eld is highlighted, a dark strip will 

encompass the fi eld.  

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.
