In addition to the standard feature set on the GPSMAP 78, the 78s version adds a 3-axis compass, a barometric altimeter and a worldwide shaded relief base map. Sensor versions (78s) also offer wireless route and waypoint sharing with other compatible units.

Keep Your Fix

With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, GPSMAP 78 series locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear: whether in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the Garmin GPSMAP 78s to help you find your way when you need it the most.

Add Maps

Adding more maps is easy with Garmin's wide array of detailed marine, topographic and road maps, available on microSD card. Conveniently plug in BlueChart g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or City Navigator map data for road turn-by-turn routing. The card slot is inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about wetting it. The Garmin GPSMAP 78s also supports BirdsEyeSatellite Imagery (subscription required), which lets you download satellite images to your device and integrate them with your maps.
