Garmin GPSMAP 79-Series Marine Handhelds
Virtually put the whole world in the palm of your hand.
Product Information
Cellphones are notoriously unreliable, so what’s your navigational backup plan in case your electronics go down? What if you’re hopping on a small boat that doesn’t have electronics in the first place? Or you’re getting on a friend’s boat? There’s no good substitute for a handheld GPS you can carry every time you step aboard any boat, and the GPSMap 79s and 79sc are the next generation of handhelds. These units have high-resolution color displays; BaseMap or BlueChart g3 coastal charts; 8GB of memory; and can tap into GPS, Glonass, Galileo, the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System and satellite-based augmentation systems. What’s more, they’re waterproofed to IPX7 specs—and they even float.
