This handheld chartplotter from Garmin is built for life on the boat. The rugged, handheld device has IPX7 rated water resistance with a sunlight-readable high resolution colour display. The glass is even scratch-resistant and fog proof. Furthermore, the handheld chartplotter floats - so there's no need to panic if you drop it overboard.
The Garmin chartplotter has a 3-axis tilt compensated electronic compass that shows your heading, even while your boat is standing still. Plus, with support for multiple satellite constellations such as GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS, you'll get accurate, reliable tracking and positioning around the world. GPSMAP 79s has more memory than previous models, so you can save and track 10,000 waypoints, 250 routes and 300 fitness activity files.
