    • Sweet gps!
Need a bigger screen

    • 4 years and gong strong
I have been using this about about 200 days a year in the field since I got it several years ago. I put a screen protector on it, and change it out once or twice a year. I use this all day everyday for field biology work, navigating 2.4km transects, marking data points, etc. It took some getting used to Basecamp, and I still use Mapsource for some stuff to work with files, but the Garmin software is WAAAY easier than the deLorme stuff. I got a Delorme Earthmate PN-60w for a backup/replacement when my old Garmin 76 got run over, and I found the PN60much to difficult to figure out, and the software was crazy. I got both because fo the ability to download satellite imagery to them. The Delorme software is to tedious, too many layers. Garmin you just say high resolution, and go for it. The Garmin download speeds are SLOW. To get a 150mile by 100 mile area at high res, expect to spend a day and ahalf coming back and clicking on the next section you want download. a 200mb file will take an hour or so. I have tried on faster connections than my 5mb/sec setup, and it is still tediously slow. Pros-Indestructible(mostly) I like the 10000 waypoints, I put a 32gb memory card in there and have about 20gb of satelite imagery downloaded onto it. I like the old style push buttons I go a day and half on my rechargeable AA batteries that I charge on my little solar charger I think you can go 2 days on regular AA's, though I use the screen saver that turns the screen off at 15sec, 30sec, 1 min, or 2 min intervals Pro and con-customizable setup, you can make it look like your old style garmin format for those who are too used the 76, but it is somewhat tedious to do that, and it is a little too easy to accidentally hit reset to factory-that does not erase your data, just your page setups, map setups, etc. Cons-Garmin sat imagery is slow to download, requires their $30 a year subscription service. OH, and, if you have sat imagery on your computer that you downloaded while your subscription was in effect, once it expires, you can't move it back onto your device. They want that $30 a year. Eh, cost of doing business for me, maybe not so appealing to a recreational user. ... show more

    • Great GPS for Dual-sport use
I chose this "marine" GPS for use on my motorcycle over the 62 because it has the robust 4-pin power connector. The buttons on top aren't terrible - but not ideal either. The unit is quite accurate, even in deep canyons and with thick canopy overhead, I've never had it not know where I am. The screen is clear and quite readable even in bright light. It takes the beating of handlebar mounted desert riding very well. I've crashed on it pretty hard and had it fly out of the RAM mount to find it 15 feet away. I like the power options - being able to grab it off the bike and take it hiking is great - also nice peace of mind that I'll have a GPS if I have to leave the bike due to malfunction. The battery life on 2200mah rechargeables is about 1.5 - 2 days of use. There are a few downsides which made me give it 4 stars. There's no way to make the backlight stay on, can only keep it on for 2 minutes at a time. Annoying since I also use it as my speedometer. The maps are expensive, and you DO have to buy one to get any sort of functionality from it. There are sites that make good, free, routable maps but the Garmin maps are not cheap. The way it breaks up routes and tracks is confusing and unintuitive. And finally - this applies to the base model only - but when you stop, since there is no compass your arrow spins around in a circle instead of staying the direction it was pointed last, making finding your way at intersections difficult at times. I can't possibly see a reason for this except to make you wish you'd ponied up the extra money for the unit with the compass (which I do). ... show more

    • The triaxial compass makes a real nice difference compared to the 76
I've owned the 76s and the 60csx. The first thing I noticed with the 78 is the lack of a decent manual, even online. Thankfully, most of it can be figured out. The triaxial compass makes a real nice difference compared to the 76. The case seals on this unit definitely don't seem as durable as the 76 and I think that's likely the issue many people are having with leaking. I don't like that there are exposed screw heads too....salt water is going to have a field day...they aren't even galvanized. The screen is the same as the other two...it's decent and I do expect the same good battery performance. The sat pickup is very quick which is nice. So far so good but I do suspect that there will be problems with the battery seal door, the USB seal and the antenna seal so I'll be sure not to test it floatability. I've had the 76 fall in the water twice with zero issues. So, no manual to speak of and the PDF stinks...and no soft sided case included like with the 76. Thus...the one star demerit. Update: After having used this through Quetico and having used the old 76 there as well, it's night and day tracking with the 78s. The triaxial makes the thing absolutely stellar. Updating to a 5 star since for me, the actual features outweigh the lack of case / decent manual. You will not be disappointed if route tracking with this thing. ... show more
