User questions & answers

Question:	I'm going to do a thru hike of the Superior trail. Can I load the GPS coordinates from the trail website directly into this unit
Answer:	Yes. I have download many bike tours directly from the bicycle websites.
Question:	Can I input longitude and latitude
Answer:	I need to get coordinates UTM and latitude and longitude, I live in Venezuela, this team works for my country? the computer brings up a screen that generates UTM coordinates and lat / log?
Question:	I would like to buy it for lead my hiking outside, I just want it can help me don't get lost in woods,and make me go right trials, is it OK for that
Answer:	Its not going to show the right trails, but it will prevent you from getting lost.
Question:	Can I buy more detailed maps from Garmin and load them on this device
Answer:	I don't know about the eTrex 10, but for the eTrex 20 & 30 you can purchase extremely detailed world wide maps from Amazon & Ebay for a fraction of the cost you will pay if purchased directly from Garmin. I have an eTrex 30 and it is the best GPS I've ever owned. I have the mini United States, Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean maps card installed. It shows even the private driveways out in the country side. The vehicle mounts that work on the 20 & 30 won't work on the 10. The type that slides on the back of the unit.

User questions & answers

Question:	Este gps mide áreas
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does the 73 have tide forecast
Answer:	Not that I could see.
Question:	I'm wondering why there are no reviews for this item...anywhere. It looks to be a good quality product, but I'm a bit concerned at the lack of a map
Answer:	The 73 is a replacement for my much-loved Garmin 72H, which finally started to give up the ghost (display pixels failing) after yet another sailboat race to Hawaii. This was Hawaii race number 6 for this particular 72H, this year going doublehanded on an Olson 30. It was a very fast and wet ride (2070 miles in 11 days 5 hours!)User-settable speed filtering is an absolutely essential feature for sailboat racing, and the 72H and 73 are the only handhelds that have it. It's critical to be able damp out speed variations due to GPS scatter, to detect changes in current and other slowly-varying factors that might only show as tenths of a knot. When I first saw the 73 at a boat show last fall, I complained that the screen was smaller than the screen on the 72H. But I think the resolution is improved, so readability does not suffer. The plus side is that battery life is vastly improved. The 73 is extremely user-configurable, so there is a learning curve involved. For example, it took a few minutes just to find a display mode that would show latitude and longitude. But once set up to your preferences, it's a great piece of gear. As you suggest, I wish Garmin would add the speed filtering feature to a higher-end handheld that could also hold a map database.

Question:	will the 78s do loran to gps conversions
Answer:	No. I don't know of any conversion programs
Question:	Does the basemap that comes with it show the marine topography
Answer:	No, this device is meant for land activities not marine although it display your location, distance, etc.
Question:	If I program a waypoint, does it show a "path" and then clearly indicate where I am relative to the desired path
Answer:	Yes -- think of it as setting a MOB (man overboard). Once you start tracking the MOB, a path is outlined as to where you are relative to the original mark, plus the bearing back (or reciprical) and distance back to the mark. The same is for using a waypoint. Once the waypoint is set, you can go to it using FIND button, click on the waypoint, hit GO and you get the same path shown plus the reciprical bearing and distance.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the 78sc include the Great Lakes coastal areas
Answer:	Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure. With the 78 I bought the micro card that gives me maps of all US, Canada, some Bahamas and Mexico. The original GPS without the card gave only a no detail sketch of landmasses. with the card, it does show depths and boys of the great lakes areas. According to the west marine catalogue, the SC comes with the chart I bought preloaded, which is a really good deal. Had I realized I would be buying the chip, it would have made more sense to get the SC. I'm thinking about adding the chip with topographic features for land travel. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/garmin--gpsmap-78sc-marine-handheld-gps-receiver-with-compass-and-barometer--11553609

Question:	Does it work outside of the us
Answer:	It does.. But the installed basemap is of the US so that won’t work unless you install maps of where you are going to be.
Question:	It will work in others countries
Answer:	Yes. it can work anywhere and it has no restrictions, but to see map data in another countries you would need to add detailed maps for that area. Detailed maps show terrain, but they are not required for navigation, you can still use it without maps by saving waypoints and tracks.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this model the 78sc
Answer:	as per the picture of this model it does NOT look like it is the sc model. i have the 78sc and it is labeled that way on the front of the unit
Question:	hi again, morning. does the gamin model 78 have build in compass? thanks
Answer:	In spite of the large number of "yes" answers, the answer is NO. The 78 has no compass, but you can select the more expensive 78s, near the top of the listing. It and the even more expensive 78sc DO have a compass (and a barometer/altimeter). You don't really need a compass with a GPS, since walking a few feet in any direction can produce a track on the screen, which shows you the direction you're moving. A GPS is much more useful than a compass. To be clear, the 78 does have a compass "page" which can show you which way you're moving, but if you stop it doesn't work. It can also show your altitude, but without an altimeter the altitude estimate averages about twice the error as the location estimate, so it might not be too useful.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this take onX chip
Answer:	Yes
Question:	How big an sd card can you use
Answer:	You can use any size card you want, there are tutorials on how to use 128GB card and we suspect that you can also use 256GB card, big problem is that it must be formatted in Fat32 format which is a very old format, and if you transfer payloads larger than 4 GB in size the files will get corrupted, Fat32 is also very slow, so if you go for the big 256GB card, prepare to take several weeks to upload that many maps, and also prepare for the GPS to take several minutes to read the whole library. 32GB memory stuff they say is absolute rubbish, google it and you will see, if it can be done with 64, it can be done in 66.
Question:	Can it be run on aa/aaa batteries or does it require the rechargeable pack
Answer:	Unlike its sister GPS only device, the GPSMAP 66st the InReach added GPSMAP 66i only comes with a built-in rechargable battery which is not accessible by the user. I suspect that this is because the energy requirements needed to push InReach messages far into space to passing Iridium satellites requires a battery with more capacity than AA batterirs can provide. So, like all InReach models the GPSMAP 66i has an internal lithium battery that is not accessible by the user. When, after many years if service it dies, a replacement can be swapped in by Garmin and the unit resealed to meet the waterproof standard.
Question:	Do you need to add a service provider or can you just use it as is
Answer:	I appologize in advance to those who understand the following information. But to those new to the world of InReach satellite communications I will try to explain the basics. The InReach features buit into the GPSMAP 66i are for text and email (no photos) messages to anyone from anywhere on Earth using the Iridium Satellite nexwork. Garmin provides these services for reasonable price plans that can meet every budget from $13/ mth. To $70/mth depending on your expected use of the system. InReach also can provide Remote Tracking which will send your position via the satellites to a unique map page where family and friends can follow your progress. Garmin has two types of plans, each with the multi-level options mentioned above. The Annual Contract plan keeps your InReach active and ready to communicate at all times, like a Cell phone. If you choose this plan you are committed for the first year no matter what your actual usage. After that you are free to drop the service at any time. They also offer a convenient and flexable Freedom plan that costs a bit more but lets you deactivate the InReach for any months when you won't need it, It costs $24.99 each year plus the first month's cost depending on the level of service you choose. After that first month you may deactivate or activate it on a month to month basis. The only thing to remember is you MUST activate before heading into the backcountry away from Internet access. Activation and deactivation may only be done on-line. Never from the InReach via the satellites. The satelllites will not accept any messages ( even SOS) from deactivated units. All InReach services are provided through Garmin via your unique account site. If you choose not to sign up for an InReach communication plan you may use all of the other features of the GPSMAP 66i. But if you NEVER intend to use the InReach features I would suggest you consider buying the GPSMAP 66st at a lower price but without the capibility to use the InReach communication and SOS services from remote location beyond the cellular range. As for me, I would spend the extra money for the GPSMAP 66i and keep the option to activate InReach communnications if only to have the ability to contact emergency sercices at the press of an SOS button or to get roadside help from a dead Cell zone. The plans are flexable and inexpensive and can save your life.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it come with the fish finder or is it just the bag and other items
Answer:	It comes with everything you need,the bag, the holder,the battery, the charger,the fish finder with gps tracking, and instructions
Question:	Will this unit show bait fish
Answer:	only if there is big schools
Question:	Planning on having this stricly portable from boat to boat, is it easily installed and removed? Or is drilling required
Answer:	I've take one with me up to Alaska for the last 8 years. Setup is about five minutes on the 14' Lunds we rent up there.After the first time, the transducer cable length is established so stuff it in the side pouch at the end of the day. The rest of the cable stays wrapped up on the hanger inside the portable unit.The unit is very stable and sits nicely on the bench in front of me, even in the bumps.I keep a Scotchbrite pad in another pouch on the unit. Scrub a spot on the transom before sticking the suction cup on.I keep some tiewraps in the side pouch. Use a tiewrap to tie off the transducer cable to something on the boat. The suction cup holds up to 20 mph... until it doesn't. Tiewrapping the cable to the boat keeps the transducer out of the prop.
Question:	What does the bundle come with? Battery? Tranduser for ice fishing
Answer:	STRIKER 4 Dual-beam transducer Tilt/swivel mount Portable bag Base/handle Suction cup mount Foam float Kayak In-hull Transducer Mount Power cable Rechargeable battery AC charger Documentation
Question:	Please i need a trasceduser cable replacement. How much will it cost me
Answer:	Usually we didn't sell the transducer alone. If you already bought fish finder from us before, please contact us through amazon message and we will give you the offer for the transducer alone.
Question:	It works in salt water
Answer:	Yes,this Lucky fish finder can work well in salt water. It is suitable for ocean、lakes and rivers. Hope this helps.
Question:	can you mount the transistor in side the kayak
Answer:	Usually people will fix the transducer on the hull of the kayak (the outside). Because the transducer can only be working when it touches the water.
Question:	Does it work well for ice fishing
Answer:	Yes it works well for ice fishing, although you must drop the transducer below the ice in order for it to read depth accurately. I also found that it has the potential to mis-detect large tube jigs as a fish, but I actually don’t mind that as it tells me how deep my bait is. I also use this with my kayak mounted with the bracket, so I get double duty. Battery life is fantastic even in below zero temps. I’ve been out with it on several outings below freezing and I’m still on the same set of batteries! I would recommend this product.
Question:	What's the RMS on these subs
Answer:	I think it’s 1200 but i am not sure. I have four of them running at 2ohms with a planet audio torq 5000.1 amp. One of the loudest trucks in town.

STRIKER 4 Portable Bundle

3.5-inch CHIRP Fishfinder with GPS and Portable Kit.

Navigate Easily with Waypoint Map

Since the STRIKER fishfinder series includes high-sensitivity GPS, you can see your position in relation to waypoints you have marked. Use the waypoint map to easily view, mark and navigate to locations such as brush piles, stumps and docks. It’s also a great tool for finding your way back to the boat ramp.

Check Your Speed on Screen

You can quickly and easily see your boat’s speed on the screen of your STRIKER fishfinder. It’s a great tool to make sure you are trolling at the right speed for the lure you’re using and for a particular fish species. It’s also a good way to tell if you are going the right speed in wake-controlled areas.

Take Your Fishfinder Anywhere

A portable kit is available to protect and carry your STRIKER fishfinder with GPS, so it’s perfect for kayak, canoe or ice fishing. It includes a sealed, rechargeable battery with charger, built-in transducer cable management and storage and suction cup transducer mount and float.

Experience the Clarity of CHIRP

STRIKER 4 fishfinder includes a Garmin CHIRP (77/200 kHz) transducer, which provides a visibly higher level of clarity and detail for fish and structure than traditional 77/200 kHz transducers.

Instead of sending just 1 single frequency, CHIRP sends a continuous sweep of frequencies, ranging from low to high, then interprets them individually upon their return. Since the frequencies provide a wider range of information, CHIRP sonar technology can create crisper fish arches with greater target separation.

You also can upgrade to high-performance Garmin CHIRP technology, which provides crystal-clear sonar images with even more remarkable target separation and resolution from shallow to deeper depths. For better fishing, bottom contours are more visible, even at higher speeds, and signal noise can be suppressed at greater depths to provide a more timely interpretation of what’s below.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this Garmin fish finder comes installed with maps (Marine maps
Answer:	There is no way to put any maps on this unit but it does have storage to make your own maps. It has a mapping feature so you can map the depths of your favorite lake. The specs says it will hold 1 million acres of lake maps. Granted, you have to be on a boat and troll to do the mapping but it does work and it works rather well.
Question:	For in hull transducer mounts for a fiberglass boat, Garmin suggested putting the transducer in a container full of antifreeze. Any other methods
Answer:	I can’t speak to fiberglass as I use mine on kayak. However I do use my transducer shooting thru hull attached with duct seal that forms a reservoir around transducer and then I add water. That works perfectly! Duct seal is $3 at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
Question:	What's the difference between this and the "garmin striker 4 with transducer, 3.5" gps fishfinder with chirp traditional transducer
Answer:	This one has a feature where you can contour maps the bottom of any lake or river you're in.
Question:	how many holes do i need to drill to install the transducer
Answer:	Don't drill holes in your boat. Find an old 3/8-1/2" plastic cutting board and cut a 4x4 piece out of it and using 3m sticky tape mount it to the transom and use short screws to mount the transducer to the piece of cutting board. Did that back in 1979 and has never come loose.
Question:	Whats the maximun depth that it can read
Answer:	It’s in the description I believe. Otherwise YouTube has this information
Question:	Will this work in shallow waters? What is the minimum depth it will read accurately? Read a review where it was said to lose use under 10 feet
Answer:	I know from experience it can read depths as shallow as 1 foot but I don’t know the exact limitations or specs. The problem that renders this and any fish finder useless in shallow water is the amount of vegetation and its direct proximity. In shallow water with dense vegetation reaching the surface you’re most likely only going to see screen noise displayed which may effect the abilities to properly gauge water depths. If there is no vegetation and the ground is of solid structure then this will work fine in water 10’ or less.
Question:	Can the transducer be mounted on the trolling motor
Answer:	Yes it’s come with all the hardware needed to install you might have to change some things depending on your trolling motor
Question:	Will I be able to see the screen with polarized sunglasses
Answer:	Yes you can because I am using as well the polarized glasses with a light yellow tint
