Features
For boaters and watersports enthusiasts who want to run with
the best, the rugged GPSMAP 78sc includes preloaded U.S. coastal charts
and features a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, crisp color
mapping, a high-sensitivity receiver, new molded rubber side grips,
plus a microSD™ card slot for loading additional maps. And it floats!
Explore Coastal Waters
GPSMAP 78sc comes with built-in BlueChart® g2 coastal
charts and a worldwide basemap with imagery — perfect for all your
outdoor pursuits. Map detail includes shorelines, depth contours,
navaids, harbors, marinas and more for the U.S. and Bahamas. And, like
the rest of the 78-series, 78sc is IPX7 waterproof and even floats in
water.
Get Your Bearings
GPSMAP 78sc 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 78sc you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes
and geocaches wirelessly with 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 78sc 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 78sc 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
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 78sc also supports BirdsEye™
Satellite
Imagery

satellite images to your device and integrate them with your maps. In
addition, the 78sc is compatible with Custom Maps, free software that
transforms paper
and electronic maps into downloadable maps for your device.
