Product details

The handy and buoyant GPSmap 78 is equipped with high-quality display technology, with a WAAS-enabled GPS receiver with high sensitivity and with HotFix™ satellite prediction. The striking TFT colour display with 256 colours is suitable for any ambient light, it is very well readable even in bright sunlight. Battery life up to 20 hours. The device has ergonomically designed non-slip rubber side grips. The device is even floatable! A microSD card slot is available for cartograpy, in addition to the internal memory (1.7 GB). The GPSmap 78 is equipped with a built-in worldwide basemap and a USB port, and it is BlueChart g3 - REGULAR compatible (please update the Firmware of the GPSMAP 78 with the Garmin Express Software to Version 7.20 or higher). Comes with manual and USB cable.

The GPSmap 78s also offers an additional electronic compass and a barometric altimeter. The 3-axis electronic compass shows the direction even if you're standing still and if the device is not horizontal. The barometric altimeter identifies your precise altitude with changes in air pressure, and you can even use it to read barometric pressure changes in real time – so you can keep an eye on changing weather conditions. With the GPSmap 78s you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other users with compatible devices, such as the location of your favorite fishing place.

Hi Michael, sorry it doesn't have this "rolling road" mode. Please check which data type you want to transfer. This device supports .adm and .gpx files for transferring routes and waypoints.
