Marine navigation with the Garmin GPS 72
The principle target consumer group for the Garmin GPS 72 has to be
those involved in marine or extreme wetland navigation. Anyone who needs
to be able to navigate the waterways, lakes or out on the open sea will
benefit from owning a Garmin GPS 72 navigation system.
The unit is extremely rugged and waterproof, as one would expect from a
marine navigation unit. Where the Garmin GPS 72 really excels in its
feature list is that besides being almost unbreakable, it is also
unsinkable. So, of you drop it in whatever water you are navigating, it
will float, enabling you to pick it up, and continue on your way.
While it is billed as an entry level device, the Garmin GPS 72 still has
some of the features that you associate with higher end devices. For
example, it benefits from Wide Area Augmentation System compatibility,
ensuring that the reading is accurate to within 3 meters, where
available.
Coupled with the internal marine point database and 1 MB of internal
memory, this will enable any land or sea navigator to get the most out
of their Garmin GPS 72 unit. There are also built in celestial tables,
and sun and moon calculations, and, as you might expect, the position
data can be displayed in a variety of formats.
The easy to use keypad is backlight, as is the screen, which makes the
Garmin GP 72 easy to use in any conditions, including fog and in the
pitch black. Various alarms for anchor drag, off course, and a clock
round off this surprisingly complete package.
