Having issues with the way points and maps. Talked to support and they said they would replace it with new. Said they would send me a email with return info and printable postage. Haven't received it yet and that was a week ago.

Like the design, smooth and good hand size. Dislike the rubberise body as it will go sticky after couple of years just like my really old 76cx. Good that I can use my old Bluechart G1 chart from the 76cx on the new 79s. Had to buy a new Marine Mount for the 79s as the old one won't fit.

It’s an accurate gps as far as I can tell. It provided good information. User interface is clunky and hard to get used to. The menu system is very old school. Honestly, the whole unit is old school. It is a good size if you can be still while looking at it. If you’re in motion, it’s too small to see well. My main complaint is battery life. I had no choice but to use Duracell batteries. Not sure if the usb supplies power. Each set of new batteries lasted about 3.5 hours before I was well into a single bar on battery life and needed to change. My micro usb tray was faulty out of the box. If you need a GPS with specific features like a compass or dropping pins accurately and you don’t have high expectations, this unit seems ok.

Actually I use it as a backup and also when I'm on a boat with lesser experience than myself captain. These hand-helds are very accurate, a unit you can rely on.

The product is flawed in so many ways, of which usability is worst. Who designed it? There is just no easy way to start a navigation, one has to go through myriad of menus. I can't believe there is no one button that would simply say "Go To" or "Start Nav". Adding waypoints is a nightmare. Battery compartment is NOT water tight as advertised. This is the worst GPS I've ever seen. I've returned this unit as of writing of this review.
