 Garmin GPS 72H Marine GPS handheld : Garmin International, the global leader in satellite navigation, announced the introduction of the Garmin GPS 72H Marine Handheld with new, state-of-the-art features including a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, and a fast USB interface - all in an easy-to-use handheld that floats. “Since 2002, the Garmin GPS 72 has been the handheld of choice for the boater that wants a simple, rugged, and reliable navigator,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president for worldwide sales. “Now, with a high-sensitivity receiver, boaters can acquire a GPS position fix quickly and easily.”

In addition to improved GPS satellite reception, the Garmin GPS 72H Marine Handheld can quickly transfer waypoints, tracks, and routes via its fast USB interface, as well as the tried-and-true NMEA 0183. The battery life has also been improved to 18 hours (typical use). Like the legacy Garmin GPS 72, the updated 72H GPS is fully waterproof to IPX-7 standards (submersible in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes). Best of all, the unit floats, in case of an accidental dunking.
