This user-friendly handheld device is a great navigation solution for boats, sailboats, or small yachts without a chartplotter. It's also an excellent and essential backup navigation tool for all vessels should the main unit fail. Its highly sensitive GPS allows you to mark and save 1,000 waypoints and 100 tracks, enabling you to easily navigate back to them. Use it on land or on the water—it floats! The device features SailAssist, including a virtual start line, heading line, countdown timer, and tacking assistant.
Fast satellite search
The highly sensitive GPS receiver quickly acquires GPS signals and tracks your position even in difficult environments, such as deep canyons and dense forests.
Marking important waypoints
Whether it's good fishing spots or restaurants – you can mark and save 1,000 waypoints and 100 tracks to navigate back to them again and again.
SailAssist
SailAssist ensures you sail more efficiently with a heading line and tacking assistant. The tacking assistant tells you when to tack, depending on whether the boat is bearing away or luffing relative to its optimal tacking angle. For racing enthusiasts, the virtual starting line and countdown timers help you cross the line at the right time.
Saving important data
The GPS 73 is NMEA 0183 compatible. Data can be easily transferred to the device by connecting it to a computer via USB. If you enjoy boating, hunting, or fishing, you'll appreciate the astronomical data, such as sunrise and sunset times, the hunting and fishing calendar, as well as the estimated time of arrival, other calculations, and marine data.
High-contrast display
The GPS 73 features an intuitive user interface with dedicated, illuminated buttons for quick and easy operation. Thanks to its high-contrast display, it offers excellent readability in all lighting conditions.
