Garmin GPSMAP 640 Waterproof Car/Marine GPS and Chartplotter (With BlueChart g2 Marine Charts and City Navigator NT North America Maps) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 640 could/should have been so much better, had Garmin enabled the XM Weather capability in Automotive mode, in addition to the Marine mode, which does support XM Weather (WHY would they do such a stupid thing?!), and kept the Tracks/Tracks Management feature of the 276C/378/478 models, which are also geared toward Marine/Auto users. The unbelievable thing is that these missing features are all features that Garmin has implemented in older units - it is baffling why they would eliminate them in newer models, particularly at a time when this basic GPS functionality in the 640 is so widely available in smartphones. They also reduced the number of saved Routes. As the 640 is currently configured, I will stick to my trusty 478 for a long time, despite the fact that I would have liked to upgrade to a larger screen and updated GPS receiver technology found in the 640.

Garmin 72H Waterproof Handheld GPS with High-Sensitivity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Garmin's 72H is an adequate, low cost, navigational tool. I use it exclusively for Marine navigation when I am in areas I have not visited before. As an "old salt" I use paper charts and guide books for planning and prime navigation - but the GPS puts me right on the bouy marker I'm heading for. Time, speed, and other features are helpful but not critical for me. It is easy to use once you figure out the data input process. The manual could have been written much more clearly and thoroughly. It is the weakest part of the deal.
