The GPSMAP 76 provides a straight line, direct naviga-
tion course to your destination. Since it is not always
possible to follow a straight line from start to fi nish, as you
move, the Pointer will always point toward your destina-
tion and the Compass Ring will always show your current
track.

Starting to Navigate
With the unit turned on and displaying '3D GPS Location' on the GPS
Information Page, mark a waypoint at your current location. Name this waypoint
'HOME', assign the 'Residence' Symbol and store the waypoint.
Begin walking holding the GPSMAP 76S in front of you with the top of the
unit pointed toward the sky. As you move, you will see that the unit leaves a
bread crumb trail on the map indicating where you have been. Walk at least a
two minutes in one direction and then make either a right or left turn. Continue
walking in this new direction for approximately another two minutes.
