Can a Nuvi 760 be used for marine work?

Technically a GPS should work anywhere as it locks on to satellites and transfers its position to the software which displays it in various forms depending on it software.
So the answers is Probably if you can get the correct software to do what you want
Doug T will know no doubt.

Cant see why not apart from keeping it dry. Just bought one and am impressed so far.

It works on my Nuvi 760

Just don't get water on it, it's not water proof

Hi Toyotabits

I am currently experimenting with Garmin Bluechart maps and Garmin Mobile PC and XT which runs the same operating system as the Nuvi's. Bluechart maps will show up, but do not display as they do in Mapsource or nRoute and are missing some key elements like contour range colours. The link The Explorer supplies above shows exactly what I am talking about in the post/pictures by Nev. I have spoken directly to Garmin and JA GPS and they have both indicated that this new Nuvi/Mobile PC/XT operating system (actually embedded Linux I think) is not compatable with the older Bluechart products, but will work with G2 and G2 Vision marine charts (only available on special Sd cards from Garmin).

Lots on the web about people having a go with the Nuvi for different maps. If you want a specialist Marine Nuvi have a look at the 500 - it is waterproof, but needs G2 Vision charts. Pity they are so expensive with the Charts nearly as dear as the unit.


Cheers
