Features
When you’re on the water, the GPSMAP 78sc will help improve your performance. It gives you preloaded US coastal charts, 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 BlueChart g2 coastal charts and a worldwide basemap with imagery, you can go anywhere you need to go. Your map’s details include shorelines, depth contours, navaids, harbors and marinas for the US and the Bahamas. And, the GPSMAP 78sc is IPX7 waterproof.
All the data you need
The GPSMAP 78sc 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.

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 78sc supports subscription-based BirdsEye Satellite Imagery, which integrates satellite images with your maps.
