With up to 19 hours of battery life in GPS mode using user-replaceable AA batteries, you can stay out longer and keep navigating without interruption.

The Garmin GPSMAP 79s Handheld Marine GPS supports multiple satellite constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS, giving you reliable and accurate tracking around the world. Its increased internal memory makes it possible to save and manage up to 10,000 waypoints, 250 routes and 300 activity files, ensuring you always have the navigation information you need without worrying about storage limits. The built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass keeps you pointed in the right direction, even when standing still, making it easier to maintain awareness and orientation on the water.

For expanded capability, the Garmin GPSMAP 79s Handheld Marine GPS is compatible with optional BlueChart® g3 charts, which combine Garmin and Navionics® data to deliver detailed coastal mapping.
