If I had not found an excellent condition used Oregon 400c for $200 I would have a 78SC instead. It is the best of the marine units.I'm interested in this topic as well.
Thinking about getting a Garmin 78SC for my new skiff, and would like to hear if anyone has any experience.
I know it DOESNT do touch screen, but it DOES float in the water. I wanted a touchscreen since I dont plan on dropping it in the waterWhat does the 78sc do that the Oregon 400c doesn't? Just trying to understand the difference in price from someone that has used one of these gps units. I have never used a gps but the more time I spend in the north end of the lagoon the more I want one.
I like the portability fact since I also go on the kayak, as well as my friends boat from time to time.
