Garmin GPSMAP 78
The Garmin GPSMAP 78 brought a major update to the GPSMAP 76 handheld line. Garmin had a huge hit with the 60/76 series, and instead of messing with a winner, they turned their attention to new interfaces, which were introduced on the Colorado series, followed by the touch screen Oregon line.

Over priced GPS
I'm a first time GPS user. I found this unit to either be too difficult to figure out or unable to do some fundimental things. Was tring to set the units to yards and measure a few golf drives but could not make it do whay I wanted. Screen is too small as well.
Pros:
- Seems to be a high quality unit with some advanced functionality
Cons:
- Short battery life
- small screen
- difficult to operate

Excellent features
Good value for money, I am enjoying using this instrument for my research purpose. Excellent features in terms of altimeter and barometric pressure is an added advantage.

Poor Interface
This would be a fine unit if you were only using it minor recreation. The color maps and visable tracks make seeing where you've been easy. However, I use this unit for work where I'm out in the woods all day.
