Review on 🧭 Ultimate Outdoor Navigation: Garmin GPSMAP 76 Waterproof Handheld GPS (Discontinued Model) by Vera Gashi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not Mac compatible, waypoints hard to create

I haven't seen it explicitly anywhere, so here it is: This thing isn't Mac compatible. With a serial to USB converter and some free software (Garmin software won't help) you can get GPS data on Windows, but good luck if you're using a Mac. Also, it is very difficult to create new waypoints. on the water. Because if you try to create a waypoint too close to a known feature (e.g. a highway, an intersection or WATERMEDA) the GPS will try to use the center of the feature (or something similar). So to create waypoints over water, the only solution is to manually enter the latitude and longitude (you cannot use the cursor to select a waypoint).

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
