It’s nice to have reliable positioning when you’re out on the water.

The built-in compass will point you in the right direction.

Built for life on the boat.

RUGGED HANDHELD

This handheld is water-resistant IPX7 with a high-resolution colour display you can read in the sun. The glass is even scratch-resistant and fogproof.

DESIGNED TO FLOAT

If rough waters come and the handheld goes overboard, don’t worry. This device floats.

BATTERY LIFE

User-replaceable AA batteries (not included) provide up to 19 hours of battery life in GPS tracking mode.

More memory than previous models means you can save and track 10,000 waypoints, 250 routes and 300 fitness activity files.

BUILT-IN COMPASS

The 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass shows your heading — even while the boat is standing still.
