This is a sample of the screen
display of a Garmin GPS 76. This is not called a "mapping" receiver
because there are no background maps.
The screen is displaying some track logs stored in what is called the
"Saved Tracks" memory storage to give you a current trail map of the
area. The loop at the lower left is a primitive trail around
Hartenstein Lake in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness in Colorado.

This is the same screen display
of a Garmin GPS 76 but zoomed in on the trail junction. The screen
display is at 300 feet, which is the length of the line under the text
"300". "Saved Track" logs are being displayed and represent the
trails. If we were actually there when this screen image was
captured, there would be a solid black triangle showing our location
on this map.

Here is another image capture of
the map screen of a Garmin GPS 76 showing the trail junction.
This time waypoints have been added. The location of the
waypoints is shown by the small black square, or icon, under the
name of the waypoint. Track logs are written over the waypoint
icon, so sometimes it is hard to see it. "JC8086" is shown
highlighted by putting the cursor over it to select it.
"IS8089" is where a small or intermittent stream crosses the trail.
"OJR084" is where an old road branches off the current trail.
"ST8087" is where the trail crosses a stream. There is another
icon just to the left of "JC8086" that is another stream crossing
waypoint. The name of it is hidden so it won't interfere with the
adjacent names.

This is a sample of the screen display of a Garmin GPSmap 76 with the
Mapsource United States TOPO (1:100,000 scale) maps loaded in the
receiver. The
lake at the lower left is Hartenstein Lake in the Collegiate Peaks
Wilderness. The trail shown is what is left of an old wagon road
over Brown's Pass. Note that no trail is shown to Hartenstein
Lake even though an old wagon road went in that direction too.
If we were actually there when this screen image was captured, there
would be a solid black triangle showing our location on this map.

This is another sample of the screen display of a Garmin GPSmap 76 with the
Mapsource United States TOPO (1:100,000 scale) maps loaded in the
receiver. In addtion, some saved track logs are added for updated
trail maps. These are the darker gray lines with black dots in the
middle of the line. These lines are on the wide side compared to most
other lines on the display. |

Here is a closeup of the trail junction on the map screen of a Garmin GPSmap 76 with the
Mapsource United States TOPO (1:100,000 scale) maps loaded in the
receiver.
The screen is also displaying some track logs stored in what is called the
"Saved Tracks" memory storage to give you a current and generally more accurate trail map of the
area. The cursor is highlighting the stream "North Fork".

Garmin GPSmap 76 with background maps loaded. This time waypoints
have been added. The location of the waypoints is

waypoint. Track logs are written over the waypoint icon, so
