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 water
resistant (IPX7) 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.
