I luv this thing!

 

I luv this thing!

I've used this for a couple seasons now, I love this thing. The basemap in the GPS was seriously off (it showed me driving my boat down a highway about 1/4-mile away) out of the box, but has been flawless since I bought and installed the BlueChart...

Very pleased!

The product was exactly as represented and was delivered as promised. I will recommend to anyone I know looking to buy a marine GPS.

Product Specifications

It comes standard with a built-in worldwide marine basemap and accepts MapSource BlueChart offshore marine cartography - featuring detailed depth contours, inter-tidal zones, wrecks, navaids, and many other points of interest. For small-water anglers, the GPSMAP 178C Sounder is compatible with MapSource Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots - featuring fishing areas, boat ramps, marinas, and hazards for hundreds of popular U.S. and Canadian lakes. Pre-programmed data cards can be easily inserted into the slot on the front of the unit. This package includes single-frequency 200 kHz transducer for inland lakes and bays.
