Getting Started
Reference
‘Daylight Savings Time’ — Has three options, ‘Yes’, ‘No’, and ‘Auto’. If you
select ‘Auto’ the unit will automatically determine when Daylight Savings
Time should be displayed. If you select ‘Yes’ Daylight Savings Time for the
current location will be displayed. If you select ‘No’, Daylight Savings Time
will not be displayed. If you have ‘Other’ selected in the ‘Time Zone’ field,
this option will not be available and Daylight Savings Time will be off.
‘Current Date’ — This field shows the current date as determined by the unit,
it is not accessible by the user.
‘Current Time’ — This field shows the time at the current location. This field
reflects any settings in the ‘Daylight Savings Time’ field, and is not accessible
by the user.
Setup Menu — ‘Units’ Tab
The ‘Units’ Tab contains settings for Elevation, Depth, Distance and Speed,
Temperature, Direction Display, and Speed Filter. These settings are used in
related fields throughout the unit.
‘Elevation’ — Can be set to show in ‘Feet’ or ‘Meters’.
‘Depth’ — Can be set to display in ‘Feet’, ‘Fathoms’ and ‘Meters’. The
GPSMAP 76S cannot measure depth on its own. The depth input has to
come from a NMEA device providing the “DPT” sentence.
‘Distance and Speed’ — Can be set to ‘Nautical’, ‘Statute’ or ‘Metric’.
‘Temperature’ — Can be set to ‘Fahrenheit’ or ‘Celsius’.
‘Direction Display’ — Can be set to ‘Numeric Degrees’ or ‘Cardinal Letters’.
The setting is used in all fields that relate to direction throughout the unit.
‘Speed Filter’ — Can be set to ‘Auto’ or a ‘User’ defined setting. If ‘User’ is
selected, a Seconds field will be displayed. To enter a ‘User’ defined setting,
highlight the Seconds field then press ENTER. When finished, press ENTER
to save the entry. When using a ‘User’ defined setting, the unit will average
the speed and heading at the rate specified in the time setting.
