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.

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.

Great unit!

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).
Pros:
  • Rugged
  • Good Value
  • Reliable
Cons:
  • large size

Garmin GPSMAP78

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.
Pros:
  • Garmin quality and design
  • Fast delivery from Crutchfield and tech support if needed
Cons:
  • Haven't found any.

This product did not suit us because we bought 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.

Bracket

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