Product Description

If you're a devoted mariner or serious outdoor enthusiast, Garmin GPSMAP 76S is the GPS/mapping unit for you. The "S" in the product name stands for "sensors", because the GPSMAP 76S incorporates a GPS receiver, barometric altimeter, and an electronic compass that deliver precise location, elevation, and bearing information to take adventurers as high or as far as they want to go. The unit also contains a basemap of North and South America, including major highways, thoroughfares, rivers, lakes, and borders, with plenty of memory (24 MB) for downloading MapSource data. It's also waterproof and floats in water - and its larger screen, increased readability, bigger buttons, and rugged design make this unit at home in even the harshest conditions.

Great Value.......2007-09-11

I purchased this product primarily for use in my work. I wanted a unit with an electronic compass, altimeter capabilities, and the ability to measure area. After much research, I found that the 76S provides all of those capabilities at a very reasonable cost. Although other units have more bells and whistles, such as color display and memory cards, they are much more expensive. The 76S provides excellent capabilities for my uses at a mid-range cost. The user manual could be somewhat more user-friendly, but this is a minor problem, since the unit is fairly intuitive to use.

Great GPS unit.......2007-08-27

I recently became a yaker and needed a GPS. Not only to know where I was going but to provide the ability to return to the place I started. A friend recommended Garmin and after reviewing the different products I decided on the GPAMAP 76S. The unit is everything that Garmin says it is. My next purchase will be mappng software so that I can plot Yak trips easily and more effectively.

Garmin 76S Handheld.......2007-06-08

I use the instrument primarily for bareboat sailing. Previously I used a Garmin 76, but went to the 76S for more memory. The 76 couldn't store enough track points for more than several days sailing. The 76S memory and its flexibility to program distance between track points allowd me to easily record track points for a two week cruise, all within the device itself. The 76S has added features such as compass, altimeter, and maps which I don't use, but some might. Good product.

Solid, but it's large and lacks ease-of features.......2007-05-14

I bought this unit to do some Geocaching with my daughter. When I opened the box, I was surprised by how large this unit was. I didn't pay attention to the size specifications listed on the purchase page. The graphics used to advertise made this unit appear to be about the size of the smaller eTrex Navigator units and their ilk. If you don't mind carrying around something about the size of a Fluke digital multimeter, this would suit your purposes. As for ease-of, the interface for the computer is 9-pin serial which is incovenient. The internal software doesn't allow you to save or show much text for Geocaching. (Some receivers allow you to put in comments and hints.) This unit is very solid, does what it does very well, but lacks a few things that would make it an excellent system for Geocaching. On the positive side, the screen is large and easy to read. The internal altimeter gives you vertical profile capabilities.

Fast delivery and quality product.......2007-04-15

Talk about quick shipping, I ordered this on a Wednesday afternoon and had it on Friday! Thanks.

The Case itself is a great fit and easy to take on and off to access batteries, PC connectors etc.

I was pleasantly surprised at the stiffness of the case, from the pictures and description, I was expecting a foam rubber/neoprene type case.

So to sum it up, great case, great quality and fast delivery!

Thanks Foarm

Best of the best (as usual)!!.......2006-10-31

This is my third Foarm GPS case. The first (rubberized cloth) houses my Garmin GPS 72, the second (black rubber) protects my Garmin 76Cx, and this one will hold my new Garmin GPS 76CSx. If I could, I would give this product 6 stars.

These cases are unbelievable. Geocaching in Canada this summer I took a tumble on the rocks--the case protected my GPS as I watched it "bounce" 3 times on the boulders. Not a scratch on my GPS and it still worked like a charm. These cases allow you to grip your GPS so that it is next to impossible to let it go. They are easy to clean in the rare case that they do get dirty (they are definitely NOT dirt magnets like the others).

I've had the Garmin case and numerous neoprene cases--they are good BUT, the Garmin case has to be opened and the GPS removed to use it. The neoprene cases gather dirt fast, and the clear plastic face covers "yellow up" rather quickly. The GPS is difficult to put in the neoprene cases, and difficult to remove, and they just do not provide the protection.

I love the long lanyard--no more wrist straps--for those of you who prefer the wrist strap, the lanyard can be shortened up and used as such.

The cases are made to "last a lifetime" and I am sure they will outlast the life of the GPS receiver I put in them. In fact my last GPS purchase was based on the fact that I could get this Foarm case to put it in.

I spoke with Richard at Foarm last week and he informs me that they are in the process of making a case for the Garmin eTrex--hip hip hurrah to you for that move. Hope you make one for the Garmin GPS 60 series soon as well (my wife has this unit).

If you can afford a GPSr, you can't afford NOT to have the GREAT protection these Foarm cases offer in protecting your investment.

The plastic lens covers provided just don't work for me, so I do not use them--the thickness of the case will protect the glass screen from damage in most cases--it has in all cases so far for me!!

Great case .......2006-09-28

Case quality and design is excellent but the glossy screen protectors have blotchy white spots, I had some boxwave anti glare protectors for my pda phone that worked perfect.

This company is a touchy lot; I posted a positive review about their company in the feedback section but stated my reservations about the screen protector. Multiple emails and a phone call later I agreed to removed said feedback since in fairness I didn't bother installing the splotchy screen protector which they insist looses its spots when installed. It may very well be entirely transparent when installed but since I round filed the supplied screen protectors on sight of the glare and splotches I can not confirm this.

Beyond this the case stands on its own merits and IMO an anti-glare screen protector is almost a requirement in this unit's intended environments.

All considered still by far the best case for my GPSMAP 76CSX that I have seen. Only reason for the 4 stars is the pest factor.

Great protection for a great product.......2006-08-23

The Foarm case for my Garmin 76csx was definitely money well spent. The case fits the device perfectly, exposing all the buttons and lcd display. The case is rugged, the zippers work well, and since the case is made of a ruberized material, the unit will stay put in many placed without sliding around. Great product for the price!

Best GPS case made.......2006-05-02

I have a Garmin 76s, I have used other cases they always seemed to slip away from the viewing area of the Garmin,and they also had a clear plastic window that looked dirty. The Foarm case solved these problems it really fits well and the stick on screen protector is crystal clear, makes it a pleasure to use my GPS again

Amazon.com Review

The Intel name may not immediately spark the interest of music aficionados, but with the introduction of its Pocket Concert portable MP3 player, that's sure to change. The Pocket Concert's 128 MB of memory doubles the capacity of most players without costing any more money. Combine that value with excellent sound quality and a well-designed, easy-to-use interface, and you've got a formidable contender.

We ran a simple setup program to install all the Pocket Concert's drivers and software applications. The player connects to the PC's USB port for a fast transfer of files, and it is compatible with Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows 2000. We appreciated the Intel Audio Manager's simple interface for transferring files to the player, as well as the powerful MusicMatch Jukebox Plus software that let us rip music from CDs and create playlists as well as transfer files.

With a sleek, rounded, polished-aluminum body, this lightweight player fit comfortably in our hand or fastened onto our belt or bag with the removable clip. The player's solid-state flash memory makes it impervious to shocks and jolts, so it's ideal for using while you're jogging or working out at the gym.

We had no trouble reading the large, backlit LCD, which shows song titles and playback options, including the status of the unit's two AA batteries. The scroll wheel on the side of the unit made it easy to select tracks and set bookmarks, as well as control random and repeat modes, bass, and treble. Simply press the button on the other side of the unit to turn on the built-in FM radio, and then use the scroll wheel to tune to your favorite station or manage the 10 preset stations.

The unit's 128 MB of flash memory storage translates into two to four hours of music, depending on the compression ratio and file type. (The Concert supports both MP3 and the more highly compressed WMA files.) The unit's memory capacity isn't upgradable, but to anyone who's used 64 MB or 32 MB players, 128 MB will feel like decadent luxury.

The Pocket Concert plays its crystal-clear digital audio through a pair of "neckphone" headphones, which have a dark blue headband that clips over your ears and swings around the back of your head. Though they're considerably bulkier than the earbud headphones found with most MP3 players, we were impressed by the full, rich sound and found the secure fit good for exercising.

(Note: This version of the Pocket Concert also includes the Intel Audio Accessory Kit, which features a docking station, car cassette adapter, carrying case, and rechargeable batteries.)

Intel got practically everything right with the Pocket Concert Player. A large display and well-designed controls make it a pleasure to use; the neckphone headphones provide excellent sound; and the included software is easy to use and powerful. Most important, they've broken the memory barrier, offering a 128 MB unit for the same price as comparable 64 MB units. --Ken Feinstein

Pros:

128 MB of memory translates to 2 hours of near-CD-quality audio
Easy-to-use design with clear display
Excellent sound quality

Cons:

No AC adapter included
Memory not expandable

Amazon.com Product Description

Amp up your favorite music with the Intel Pocket Concert Audio Player. This compact unit combines Intel performance and intuitive software to deliver big, crystal-clear, skip-proof MP3 playback. It includes 128 MB of built-in memory--for more than two hours of MP3 music encoded at 128 kbps or four hours of WMA audio--and a digital FM tuner with 10 station presets.

This bundle also includes Intel's Audio Accessory Kit, which can help increase the power and flexibility of the Pocket Concert. The stereo dock easily connects to your computer with the included USB cable. Additionally, you can connect the Pocket Concert via the stereo dock to a home stereo system (with the included set of RCA cables) or play music directly through powered speakers. You can also charge NiMH rechargeable batteries, which are included with the kit. The kit also includes a car cassette adapter and a neoprene carrying case.

The Pocket Concert supports both MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) out of the box, and is firmware-upgradeable to support future digital audio standards. Firmware is the program code within the player that instructs the microprocessor how to interact with the controls and the digital audio files. Upgrading the firmware makes it possible to add new music formats, security protection software, and other operating features that enhance the player.

The player features such functions as equalizer presets, bookmarking, and a large LCD screen that displays title, artist, and track-list information. Jump from track to track, or move forward or backward within a song.

The Pocket Concert comes with software for your desktop PC to help you create, organize, and enjoy your own digital audio library. The Intel Audio Manager quickly and easily transfers audio files from your PC to the Pocket Concert. The Intel Audio Sampler software offers a diverse collection of digital audio files that can be loaded onto your computer. The Plus Version of MusicMatch Jukebox is also included (with upgrade key number), enabling you to rip and encode your personal CD collection for use on the Pocket Concert, as well as to burn CDs with a CD-R drive.

The Pocket Concert is designed for use with alkaline or NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries. The use of other battery types is not recommended and may damage the player or cause risk of overheating. When the USB cable is attached to the computer and portable player, either directly or through the optional Audio Stereo Dock, the player will receive power through the USB connection. This power will operate the player but will not recharge the batteries.

In addition to the accessory kit, the Pocket Concert Audio Player comes with a belt clip, neckphones, and a USB cable.

TERRIBLE!!!!.......2003-01-23

I bought this product a year and a half ago and so far have had to cash in on the warranty 3 times to get a replacement player. This was not after hard use- more like taking it to the gym 3 or 4 times. This product is a lemon- no wonder Intel is getting out of the business!

"Volume increase" button failed-- no support.......2002-11-08

As others have mentioned in their reviews of this product, the buttons fail; mine was the "volume increase" button. I contacted support and was immediately told this problem required replacement; Intel is well aware of the problem. However, when we determined I bought the unit 14 months ago (12 month warranty), I was refused support beyond instructions on how to take the unit apart and fix it myself. After experiencing their level of support, and reading others' comments in support of my experience, I strongly recommend against buying this item.

Warranty= 12 months / Life expectancy= 14 months.......2002-11-06

I bought this relatively expensive toy for my sons birthday, only to have it completely fail after fourteen months. Intel's support tells me "unfortunately we do not offer an extended warranty on this product. If you would like to try to fix it yourself...." Prior to this I was told there was no way to fix it and it would have to be replaced. I recommend against buying their product.

Disappointing.......2002-10-09

I have had it replaced under warranty, and now another button has broken. I am very careful -- have never dropped it, and yet it has issues. DO NOT buy it. I wish I had waited for the IPOD for windows. It is definately a superior product.

Great Mp3 player.......2002-07-17

The pocket concert is so cool it is so reliable and easy to use. It has a very nice menu setup so are able to find any song quickly. I fit about 30 songs on my pocket concert. The radio is not clear at all tough. It is great if your lookin for an mp3 player get this one.
