Be sure you have the lastest software updates.

Colin: Be sure that the GPS has the most recent program fixes. This is somewhat common that there can be glitches. If you go to the Garmin site, you will see and area to download any program fixes that they have found. You can also call them for technical support.

Is the date correct?

If the GPSMap 76 is stored for any length of time without batteries, the date will show incorrectly, and the rest of the data are suspect as well. The remedy outlined in the manual didn't work for me. The website has a procedure for correcting this, if the menu directions don't work.
