How to hold the receiver
When trying to receive satellite signals, orient the GPS Map 76 so the top of the unit
points towards the sky.
If the unit is held with the top pointed towards the horizon, or upside down, satellite
reception will be severely degraded.
Try to face the most open part of the sky.
If southwest is open face in that direction.
Hold the receiver at eye level or higher to obtain best reception.
Hold the receiver with your arm fully stretched out.
Use an external antenna (Garmin GA-27C) and a back pack whenever possible.
