  • Slides all over the place
Previous to owning this unit I had used the Garmin model 78 for many years, owning several of that model and liked it very much. The 79 series functions fine. The problem I have is with the housing design. The back of the unit is shaped like the hull of a boat! Its convex. Quite a silly design given that it’s meant to be used on boats and it is a handheld unit. When you put it down on its back it rocks and slides all over the place because of the shape! The only way to put it down to stop from running away is to place it screen down. This is not good as it puts the screen at risk of being damaged and it also sometimes activates the soft touch buttons which is extremely annoying! The senior engineers at Garmin must have been napping on this design. I would have thought that a company like Garmin would field test new designs before putting to market. ... show more

  • This thing is awesome !
Actually I use it as a backup and also when I'm on a boat with lesser experience than myself captain. These hand-helds are very accurate, a unit you can rely on.
