78s comes with built-in worldwide basemap, so you can navigate anywhere
with ease. And, like the rest of the 78-series, 78s is IPX7 waterproof

Get
Your Bearings

GPSMAP
78s has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which
shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without holding it
level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint
your precise altitude, and you can even use it to plot barometric
pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather
conditions.

Share
Wirelessly

With
GPSMAP 78s you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches
wirelessly other compatible device users. Now you can send the location
of your favorite fishing spot to a friend to find. Sharing data is
easy. Just press “send” to transfer your information to similar units.

Keep
Your Fix

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

Add
Maps

Adding
more maps is easy with our 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 NT® map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see
maps tab for compatible maps). The card slot is located inside the
waterproof battery compartment, so you don’t have to worry about
getting it wet. GPSMAP 78s also supports BirdsEye™
Satellite Imagery (subscription required), that lets you download
satellite images to your device and integrate them with your maps. In
addition, the 78s is compatible with Custom
Maps, free software that transforms paper and electronic maps
into downloadable maps for your device.
