Description
Garmin GPS 73 Handheld Navigator
Stay on course with the Garmin GPS 73 Handheld Navigator. This easy-to-use GPS works on land or water. Plus, it floats if it goes overboard.
It is a handy choice for boats and other small watercraft without a chartplotter. You can also keep it aboard as a backup GPS.
Easy Navigation with the Garmin GPS 73 Handheld Navigator
The GPS 73 can store up to 1,000 waypoints and 100 tracks. Mark important places and use the GPS to find your way back later.
A high-sensitivity GPS receiver helps the unit find satellite signals quickly. It can also track your location in more difficult areas.
Built for Life on the Water
Take the GPS 73 aboard a boat, sailboat, or small watercraft. Its IPX7 water rating helps protect it around water.
Better yet, the unit floats. That is especially useful if it is dropped overboard.
Garmin GPS 73 Handheld Navigator SailAssist
Garmin SailAssist™ adds useful tools for sailors. Features include a heading line, tack assist, a virtual starting line, and countdown timers.
These tools can help during everyday sailing or racing.
Easy-to-Read Display
A high-contrast screen makes information easy to see in different light. Backlit buttons also make the controls easier to use when the light gets low.
The simple controls help you get to important navigation information quickly.
Useful Marine and Trip Information
The GPS 73 provides sunrise and sunset times, estimated arrival times, and other useful data.
It is also NMEA 0183 compatible. In addition, you can connect it to a computer with USB to transfer data.
