FeaturesWhen 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.
Go social
Your
GPSMAP 78sc 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
78sc 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 78sc supports subscription-based BirdsEye
Satellite Imagery, which integrates satellite images with your maps. And,
GPSMAP 78sc 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
78sc 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.
