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.

How is Garmin still in business?
Unintuitive, painful to use and interface with. Doesn’t even come with preloaded maps. So while it has the capability of an amazing GPS system, its worthless out on the sea unless you purchase US Lake Inland maps which are an addition hundred dollars or so. Even with the detailed maps, I’m not sure how something designed to be so user UN-friendly starting from its interface, controls, and operation all the way to upgrading it and a non-touch screen display in 2024. I can literally buy a cellphone and put a waterproof casing on it and attach to a floaty device for the price. Sure it might not provide coverage as accurate if you’re planning to really go out in the middle of nowhere, but for the casual user – it would beat this.

Mine isnât touch screen. Bad battery life.
Itâs an accurate gps as far as I can tell. It provided good information. User interface is clunky and hard to get used to. The menu system is very old school. Honestly, the whole unit is old school. It is a good size if you can be still while looking at it. If youâre in motion, itâs too small to see well. My main complaint is battery life. I had no choice but to use Duracell batteries. Not sure if the usb supplies power. Each set of new batteries lasted about 3.5 hours before I was well into a single bar on battery life and needed to change. My micro usb tray was faulty out of the box. If you need a GPS with specific features like a compass or dropping pins accurately and you donât have high expectations, this unit seems ok.

Not working right
Having issues with the way points and maps. Talked to support and they said they would replace it with new. Said they would send me a email with return info and printable postage. Haven’t received it yet and that was a week ago.

Like the design, smooth and good hand size. Dislike the rubberise body as it will go sticky after couple of years just like my really old 76cx. Good that I can use my old Bluechart G1 chart from the 76cx on the new 79s. Had to buy a new Marine Mount for the 79s as the old one won’t fit.
