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—displays in Feet or Meters.
Depth—displays in Feet, Fathoms, and Meters.

The GPSMAP 76 cannot measure depth on its own.

providing the “DPT” sentence.

or Metric.
Temperature—displays in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Direction Display—displays in Numeric Degrees or

Cardinal Letters. The setting is used in all fields that

relate to direction throughout the unit.

readings. Auto averages the speed readings

automatically, while User displays a Seconds field.

adjust the number of seconds the unit uses to average

the speed and heading readings. With the desired

number of seconds displayed, press ENTER to finish.
