Garmin GPSmap 78

GPSmap 78 is a major update of Garmin to its line of water sports trackers. With the use of the unit, user profiles are loaded as well as data exchange between them. Its configuration has a barometric altimeter and a coaxial compass. Its dimensions are 2.6 ´´wide, 6.0´´ high and 1.2 ´´deep.

The resolution of the screen is 160 x 240 pixels with dimensions of 1.6 x 2.2 ´´. The monitor shows brightness with adequate visibility, even when the day is sunny. The equipment has water resistance and the ability to float when submerged in the sea.

The unit is not tactile so it requires buttons to go forward or backward on the maps during the sequence. This model is lightweight and reaches 7 ounces in weight. If you want to find a specific site within a trail map located on the Internet, add it to your GPS. In your memory, you will store 2,000 reference points, 200 routes as well as active tracking of 10,000 points and 200 tracks.
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!
