The Garmin GPSMAP® 79s is an advanced, rugged, and floating handheld marine GPS, designed for serious sailors, anglers, and adventurers on the water. With a sharp 3” color display, durable scratch-resistant glass, and IPX7 waterproof construction, it is built for harsh marine environments – even when the weather turns rough. Should an accident occur, the unit floats, so you won’t lose it.
With support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS, the GPSMAP® 79s provides exceptionally precise positioning, even in challenging conditions. It also features a built-in 3-axis, tilt-compensated compass, ensuring you always have the correct heading – even when the boat is stationary.
The GPSMAP® 79s has significantly more memory than previous models and can store 10,000 waypoints, 250 routes, and 300 activities, allowing you to record and return to your favorite destinations. With the option to add BlueChart® g3 charts with Garmin + Navionics® data (sold separately), you get detailed marine charts for safe and precise navigation.
Power is supplied by standard AA batteries (NiMH/lithium recommended) with up to 19 hours of battery life, so you can stay out on the water longer.
