Rugged navigator GPSMAP 78s, designed for water sports enthusiasts, includes a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, crisp color mapping, high-sensitivity GPS-receiver, new side molded rubber handles, and a slot for memory cards microSD ™, so you can download additional maps.

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 needed to change the delivery address due to Fed ex delay and snow storm,the customer rep at Gander Mtn called fed ex for me and took care of the change so my pkg came in time for xmas,it was the best service I have seen!!

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.

Very good unit. Great price

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.

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 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

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.

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