Garmin GPSMAP 78 is the best rugged marine handheld navigator for watersports enthusiasts, Mariners and boaters. A 65K colors transflective TFT display that is viewable in direct sunlight, a high sensitivity GPS receiver and the already uploaded worldwide base maps makes the GPSMAP 78 suitable for navigating both in land and at sea. It is IPX7 waterproof and if it falls into water it will float!

Garmin GPSMAP 78 Navigator supports HotFix® satellite prediction and using its WAAS-enabled GPS receiver you will be able to know your exact location anytime even under heavy cover or hard weather conditions. No matter how you twist it, tilt it, turn it or carry it the GPSMAP 78 will always adjust to keeping you headed in the right track.

Adding additional maps to the GPSMAP 78 is simple and easy using the Micro SD slot on the device. You can add any of the wide array of Garmin's marine and road maps like BlueChart G2 for mariners detailing offshore data such as shaded depth contours, 24K or 100K TOPO Maps for more detailed topographies, City Navigator NT® for street maps with address lookup or Garmin Customs Map software.
