Overview |
For boaters and watersports enthusiasts
who want to run with the best, the rugged GPSMAP 78s features a 3-axis
compass, barometric altimeter, crisp color mapping, high-sensitivity
receiver, new molded rubber side grips, plus a microSD™ card slot for
loading additional maps. And it floats!
Explore
GPSMAP 78s comes with built-in worldwide basemap, so you can navigate
anywhere with ease. And, like the rest of the 78-series, 78s is IPX7
waterproof and even floats in water.
Get Your Bearings
GPSMAP 78s has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass,
which shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without
holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to
pinpoint your precise altitude, and you can even use it to plot
barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on
changing weather conditions.
Share Wirelessly
With GPSMAP 78s you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and
geocaches wirelessly other compatible device users. Now you can send the
location of your favorite fishing spot to a friend to find. Sharing data
is easy. Just press “send” to transfer your information to similar
units.
Keep Your Fix
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix™
satellite prediction, GPSMAP 78s locates your position quickly and
precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep
canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep woods or just
near tall buildings and trees, you can count on GPSMAP 78s to help you
find your way when you need it the most.
Add Maps
Adding more maps is easy with Garmin's wide array of detailed marine,
topographic and road maps, available on microSD card. Conveniently plug
in BlueChart® g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or City
Navigator NT® map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see maps tab
for compatible maps). The card slot is located inside the waterproof
battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.
GPSMAP 78s also supports BirdsEye™ Satellite Imagery (subscription
required), that lets you download satellite images to your device and
integrate them with your maps. In addition, the 78s is compatible with
Custom Maps, free software that transforms paper and electronic maps
into downloadable maps for your device.
Get Connected
You've been busy exploring and now you want to store and analyze your
activities. With a simple connection to your computer and to the
Internet, you can get a detailed analysis of your activities and send
tracks to your outdoor device using Garmin Connect™. This one-stop site
offers an activity table and allows you to view your activities on a map
using Google™ Earth. Explore other routes uploaded by millions of Garmin
Connect users and share your experiences on Twitter® and Facebook®.
Getting started is easy, so get out there, explore, and share.
Find Fun
GPSMAP 78s supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and
details straight to your unit. By going paperless, you're not only
helping the environment but also improving efficiency. GPSMAP 78s stores
and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty,
hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering
coordinates and paper print outs! Simply upload the GPX file to your
unit and start hunting for caches. Slim and lightweight, 78s is the
perfect companion for all your outdoor pursuits.

mariner needs. |
