Use on Land or Water |
|
Don't worry about losing this GPS device in the drink. The GPS
72 floats in water, and its IPX7 water resistant to withstand
the accidental dunk or splash in the lake. Whether on water or
land, the GPS 72 can save up to 500 of your favorite places in
memory and point you to your destination (no street or terrain
maps). If you're into boating, hunting or fishing, you can use
the 72's built-in celestial data, which includes tide
information, sunrise/sunset times and a hunting and fishing
calendar. |
