SailAssist
SailAssist helps you sail more efficiently. Heading Line and Tack Assist provide notification when to cross, based on the boat's correct course in relation to the optimal specified bow angle. If you are racing, there is a virtual starting line and countdown timer to ensure you cross the starting line at the right time
Save important data
The GPS 73 is NMEA 0183 compatible. You can easily transfer data to the device by connecting it to your computer via USB. If you are a boater, hunter or fisherman, you can take advantage of the built-in celestial data, which includes sunrise and sunset times, hunting and fishing calendar, estimated time of arrival, as well as other calculations and marine data.
High contrast display
The GPS 73 has an intuitive user interface with dedicated, backlit buttons for quick and easy operation. The high-contrast display makes it easy to read in all lighting conditions.
