Replaces a dead Lowrance H2O. Just got it today. Whoever decided to put the controls at the top and the screen at the bottom clearly never contemplated that anyone would use it with one hand while steering a sailboat with the other. Not sure that I am going to keep it.

This product did not suit us because we bought it under the mistaken idea that it contained maps of the Canadian West Coast. It only has marine maps of the US and Bahamas.

I use a GPS when kayaking and I replaced a older model Garmin GPS with the GPSMAP78. The main advantages I find is that this model is waterproof and floats if dropped overboard. The setup is straight forward and the menu is easy enough to access via the keys, which I prefer over a touch screen.

Garmin quality and design; Fast delivery from Crutchfield and tech support if needed

Haven't found any.

This hand-held unit from Garmin is pre-loaded with a whole range of coastal charts and comes with a three-axis compass for charting your precise direction, barometric altimeter, full-color 2.6-inch screen and micro SD card slot for loading external charts and maps.

I owned one,and there not waterproof. Very disappointed.

Very good unit. Great price

Dose what it says on the box, good clip easy to use with gloves on. Would be better if it had a suction base.

I am very pleased with this unit. I had a Garmin model 12...

very...

contras not great in...

This product is a great new one from Garmin because it floats and does not cost an arm and leg. If you want a basic unit without altimeter and compass, this is a good choice (I didn't need compass, but did need floatability and water proof).

Rugged; Good Value; Reliable

large size
