Features
When you’re on the water, the GPSMAP 78s will help improve your performance. It gives
you a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, color mapping and a high-sensitivity GPS
receiver, along with rubber side grips and a microSD card slot for loading additional
maps. And it floats, too.
Become an explorer
With the built-in worldwide basemap, you can go anywhere you need to go. And, the
GPSMAP 78s is IPX7 waterproof.
All the data you need
The GPSMAP 78s will always tell you exactly where you are. It is equipped with a
3-axis tilt-compensated compass, which always shows your heading even if you aren’t
standing still or holding it level. And the barometric altimeter uses pressure
changes to give you your precise altitude. You can use it to plot barometric pressure
over time, which helps you anticipate weather changes.
Go social
Your GPSMAP 78s allows you to share waypoints, tracks, geocaches and routes
wirelessly with other compatible Garmin devices. Just press “send” to transfer your
information to your friends.
Know where you are
GPSMAP 78s has a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite
prediction to determine your location quickly and accurately, no matter your
surrounding terrain.
Customize your maps
With Garmin’s collection of detailed topographic, marine and road maps, available on
a microSD card you can easily add and customize your maps. If you’re hitting the
water, just insert BlueChart g2 preloaded cards. And if you’re preparing for a road
trip, City Navigator NT map data provides turn-by-turn directions. GPSMAP 78s
supports subscription-based BirdsEye Satellite Imagery, which integrates satellite
images with your maps. And, GPSMAP 78s is compatible with the free software Custom
Maps, which transforms paper and electronic maps into downloadable files.
All your data in one place
With a connection to your computer and the internet, you can get detailed analysis of
your activities, and send tracks to your outdoor device with Garmin Connect. You’ll
get activity tables and a chance to see your activities on a Google Earth map. You
can explore routes uploaded by millions of Garmin Connect users, and share your
experience on Twitter and Facebook.
A geocacher’s dream
Your GPSMAP 78s can download geocaching GPX files. Your device stores and displays
key details, including terrain, location, difficulty, hints and descriptions. You
won’t need any more printouts or manually-entered coordinates. Just upload the GPX
file to your unit and start hunting.
