The GPS 72 packs GPS navigation into a waterproof, unsinkable device. View larger. | The GPS 72 is a full-function GPS with a factory-loaded Marine Point Database that contains data for cities with a population of 200,000 or more worldwide, nautical navaids for North and South America, and tide stations for the United States. Using MapSource and the built-in 1 MB of internal memory, you can load and display a variety of points of interest. This unit features a permanent user data storage, 500 user waypoints with name and graphic symbols that allow up to 50 reversible routes, and audible alarms for anchor drag, arrival, off-course, proximity to waypoint, and clock functions. The GPS 72 also features course and speed filtering, an automatic track log with up to 10 savable tracks that let you retrace your path in both directions, and a trip computer that provides odometer, stopped time, moving and overall averages, total time, max speed, and more. And just to make sure your fishing trip is as successful as possible, the GPS 72 includes built-in celestial tables that tell you the best times for fishing in your area, as well as showing you sun and moon location calculations. The GPS 72 is a 12-channel, handheld GPS receiver with a built-in quad helix antenna. It has nine keys located on the front of the unit that allow the user to quickly access all of the unit's functions. The large 120 x 160 pixel, high-contrast FSTN, four-level gray monochrome backlit display and a large-numbers viewing option make it easy to view under variable lighting conditions. Powered by only two AA batteries, this unit will run for up to 16 hours. Designed with the outdoor user in mind, this Garmin GPS unit weighs a light 7.5 ounces and measures a pocket-sized 2.7 x 1.2 x 6.2 inches (WxDxH). The GPS 72 is waterproof to IPX7 standards, meaning it can be submerged down to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes, floats, and is rugged enough to endure the most trying use. The included wrist strap, owner's manual, and quick reference guide, combined with Garmin's friendly user interface, will allow you to navigate in no time. And beyond the features and functionality, the GPS 72 provides that most critical of benefits--peace of mind. With the GPS 72 you will always know where you are, where you have been, and where you are going. And since you will always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do--explore the outdoors. What's in the Box

The device is okay but it's not serving the purpose at which it was bought. I'd rather prefer buying garmin gps 76. That's is more ideal.
Great Navigation Tool Keeps Going August 5, 2009
M. Thompson (Alaska)
I'm very pleased to see that Garmin still offers this fantastic navigation instrument. It is large enough to float (not as dense as the micro-units), the screen is larger and large enough to read even without normally-required corrective lenses, it is rugged and amazingly shockproof, and it is the first GPS I have used that has been truly waterproof - so far anyway, after several years of hard use in whatever weather coastal Alaska has put it through. One feature not often mentioned that has been truly invaluable is the tide table feature. There are an amazing number of locations programmed including some every obscure, remote places; very useful.
Really good for the price. January 25, 2009

Today I booted it up from storage and it still
remembers my 2003 way point at Interlaken
Switzerland. Really good price for something that
may possibly save your life.

Simple GPS, good value for money for casual, no bells or whistles. WAAS has issue in software needs to be updated to version 2.5 I think, so be sure to buy a serial cable to update. Buy the garmin compatible it works and you save $30.
