 great gpsOct 05, 2009
This is a wonderful gps-very accurate. This is the first one I have used and it is very easy to understand. I wish I had read description better-there are no fresh water lakes included. The value is great for this product.
 The added "Lakes" chipSep 22, 2009
The 478 is perfect for roads and coastal waters. However, the chip available for additional information regarding inland lakes does not include the Army Corps of Engineers flood control lakes in the Northern PA area.
Cant beat GarminSep 12, 2009
Does everything it claims to do and does it well, on both land and sea. Great battery life and good sensitivity and satellite reception.
Garmin GPSmap 478 GPS ReceiverSep 10, 2009
Much better than I expected...I wish I had it 2 months earlier. The mapping details are excellent...it has street maps & coastal charts. The screen size, coloring & resolution makes it quick & easy to read at a glance. It is user friendly. It is much more than a GPS. You can inter-phase it, use it as a depth finder & you can get satellite reception and use it as an XM radio. It features the U.S. marine detail map utilizing BlueChart g2 technololgy. Accepts data cards for additional map detail, points of interest & marine aerial photo reference. Comes preloaded with City Navigator North America NT covering the U.S., Canada & Puerto Rico.

Garmin GPSmap 478 GPS ReceiverAug 29, 2009
Worked great with wonderful definition and visuals--there were even tracks for entering difficult harbors. One thing to note, the marine charts for the Canadian shore of Lake Superior (the chip) are a bit off. The US charts for the GPS are perfect. The Garmin makes navigating so much easier. Would not want to sai without it.
