FeaturesWhen you’re on the water, the GPSMAP 78 will help improve your performance. It gives
you crisp, 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 78 is IPX7 waterproof.
Know where you are
GPSMAP 78 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 GPSMAP 78’s 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
78 supports subscription-based BirdsEye Satellite Imagery, which integrates satellite
images with your maps. And, GPSMAP 78 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 78 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.
