Methods for routing you to a destination If you select Go To on the Waypoint page, or other Find items, a straight path is created. If you select Navigate when on a Route page, the GPSMAP 76CSx uses a route made of waypoints or Find Menu items. It navigates directly from point to point. If you select the Follow Roads option on the Routing Setup page. Both Go To navigation and point-to-point allow you to Auto-route using roads. Auto-routing uses roadways in the map database to automatically calculate a route to your destination. Turns on roadways are preceded by a guidance message with a graphic of the turn.

To measure distance between two points:
Push pin indicating the beginning point of the measurement
Measured distance End point of measurement labeled REF
The Compass page guides you to your destination with a graphic compass and a bearing or course pointer.
GPSMAP 76CSx Owners Manual29
Bearing Pointer The Compass Ring moves to indicate North Orientation. Compass Page
The electronic compass functions like a magnetic compass when you are stationary. When you are moving and reach a pre-set speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it again operates like a magnetic compass.
1. Press and hold the PAGE key to turn the electronic compass on or off. The Compass icon appears in the status bar when the electronic compass is on. When you are not using the electronic compass, turn it off to conserve batteries. When it is turned off, the unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation. 2. Hold the GPSMAP 76CSx level to get an accurate electronic compass reading.
To turn the electronic compass on or off:
The rotating compass ring indicates the direction you are heading. The bearing and course pointers indicate the direction (bearing to or course of travel) to your destination, relative to your current heading direction. Choose a bearing pointer or course pointer for guidance.
Using the Electronic Compass
When you press and hold PAGE on these units, the electronic compass turns off and stays off until you press and hold PAGE again.
