I did not receive the USB cable when the item was delivered to me !!

  • Too Much Non-Marine Stuff
Style: Preloaded
I’ve had Garmin marine handheld GPS devices for 20 years. This one has all kinds of land based trackers that have no bearing on navigation. It took me days to figure out how to turn them off …. It is under Activity, which somehow defaulted to Hiking. Out of the box it was calculating time to destination with steps instead of miles. There is no explanation of this in the set up instructions nor the online manual. Now that I’ve disabled all this extraneous stuff, I’m sure I will be satisfied with the device. ... show more

  • Quality unit, tough learning curve
Style: Preloaded
The 79SC is a quality product but, for me, too similar to the 78SC to be worth doling out $380.00. I have owned the 78SC for years and am in the unique position to be able to compare every feature in the marine category. A difficult learning curve for sure if this is your first experience so get ready to sit for hours fiddling with it until its memorized. I decided to stick with the 78SC and returned 79SC. I think the 78SC is discontinued and for the or the record if I had to get a replacement I would buy the 79SC. By the way, the daylight (bright sunshine) screen brightness is exactly the same in both models. The indoor brightness is a bit more in the 79SC. The marine Bluechart details are very similar in both models. My advise? Get the unit, buy a canoe or kayak and enjoy. Use it to mark your hot fishing spots so you can go back. ... show more

  • Good quality. Poor instructions, confusing, and very small screen.
Style: Preloaded
This is a well made durable unit. The instructions are very confusing and it takes a lot of trial and error to figure out the process. Read the instructions all the way through before attempting to use it and it may seem a little clearer, go one step at a time.
