Yes it does. But you can buy the Vision charts and I recommend you do. Great Machine

The unit comes loaded with coastline maps of the eastern seacoast but no fresh water maps. They can be bought and loaded seperatly by buying the coresponding chip for the frshwater areas you want to navigate. And yes it does come with a transducer.

No. The GPSMAP 2006/2006C only support Bluechart, not Bluechart g2 or Bluechart g2 Vision. Thank you for your inquiry.

Yes, it does plot your course if you purchase separately and install an SD card. I could not believe the features on this unit for the price. I use it in the intercoastal waterway of NC. Love it!

You have to buy the appropriate chart set. The 78SC comes with a Worldwide Basemap but this is not satisfactory for precision navigation. I bought the Garmin Lakes & Rivers chart set for the US. This includes even really minor streams, lakes and rivers. This chart set includes data where rivers (inlets) meet the gulf or other coastal water. If you plan to navigate one of the coastal areas away from inlets, then you need to buy one of the blue water chart sets. You can download a purchased set (but have to physically install a memory card purchased from one of your local vendors) or buy a memory card from Garmin with the chart set already loaded. The download is faster if you are in a hurry. You have to buy the appropriate chart set. The 78SC comes with a Worldwide Basemap but this is not satisfactory for precision navigation.

No maps, although I only use mine for water navigation. Wait another few weeks, (2015) new models, hopefully better coming out.

Answer from Titantech: Yes, we can preload the EUROPE Navigation for you before shipping out. Any problem, please let us know it. Thanks.

The tide and current info are part of the "Blue" charts. The 78sc comes with charts for the US and Bahamas. You can buy the charts for the 78 or 78s, either on micro SD cards or to load on your own micro SD card.

Looks like the model you're inquirying about is:000-10966-001. According to Lowrance's website this one does NOT include the Gold maps pckg. Base model only, with global map. You'll have to purchase a separate map pckg. This one does though; 000-11051-001. Contains a microSD card preloaded with "COASTAL" Us & Canada maps. Basically Navionics' GOLD map pckg Good??

Simple answer: No. You'll need to buy separately detailed topo maps. I use the Southeast US one, for example.

Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure. With the 78 I bought the micro card that gives me maps of all US, Canada, some Bahamas and Mexico. The original GPS without the card gave only a no detail sketch of landmasses. with the card, it does show depths and boys of the great lakes areas. According to the west marine catalogue, the SC comes with the chart I bought preloaded, which is a really good deal. Had I realized I would be buying the chip, it would have made more sense to get the SC. I'm thinking about adding the chip with topographic features for land travel. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/garmin--gpsmap-78sc-marine-handheld-gps-receiver-with-compass-and-barometer--11553609 Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure.

According to the (very) small print on the side of the box, "Includes preloaded street maps for the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and Bahamas. You can also go to www.garmin.com for additional info.

Yes, this is v. 2.2.4, however when you order you will probably get a older version, but Garmin will auto update it as they do with MapSource and BaseCamp and other software.....a very good package for boaters......wc

No U.S. costal charts are included. Only the base map is available. I believe that would be on the Navionics or Lakemaster addon chips.

Yes. You have the option of displaying several data overlays, including water temperature, depth, position and SOG. You can also choose the font size for each of the overlays. I've only had the unit for a few weeks...so I am still behind the learning curve. However, the overlays were easy to set up.

The "setup" screen on the unit allows you to choose any of many options for the coordinate display including degrees in decimals, minutes in decimals, UTM, etc. These units are highly customizable; in that respect you won't be disappointed. I have used - and still use- the original version , and have for over 10 years. They are still working as well as they did when I got them except that the tide predictions (which were very useful even in remote parts of Alaska) are no longer available for contemporary dates.
