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).

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.
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.
For boaters and watersports enthusiasts who want to run with the best, the rugged GPSMAP 78 features crisp color mapping, high-sensitivity receiver, new molded rubber side grips, plus a microSD? card slot for loading additional maps. And it floats!
