User questions & answers

Question:	will the 78s do loran to gps conversions
Answer:	No. I don't know of any conversion programs
Question:	Does the basemap that comes with it show the marine topography
Answer:	No, this device is meant for land activities not marine although it display your location, distance, etc.
Question:	If I program a waypoint, does it show a "path" and then clearly indicate where I am relative to the desired path
Answer:	Yes -- think of it as setting a MOB (man overboard). Once you start tracking the MOB, a path is outlined as to where you are relative to the original mark, plus the bearing back (or reciprical) and distance back to the mark. The same is for using a waypoint. Once the waypoint is set, you can go to it using FIND button, click on the waypoint, hit GO and you get the same path shown plus the reciprical bearing and distance.
Question:	Does this gps come preloaded with coastal basemaps or do you need to purchase separately
Answer:	The gps 78s come with The microSD card ?
Question:	Hi, does the product come in its original box
Answer:	Comes in a Garmin Refurbished unit Box
Question:	What SD Card is used
Answer:	Normal
Question:	what maps does this come with and how do you get additional maps
Answer:	Do need additional detail map
Question:	Is this accurate enough to measure property lines
Answer:	I used mine for that purpose, but realizing it will be accurate to about 20 feet, so it will not be absolute.
