Does GPS work underwater?

I did some snorkeling while on vacation and the camera takes excellent photos and videos underwater, you will not be disappointed. As for the GPS, it did work while snorkeling, which was approximately 6ft underwater not sure if it will work going deeper underwater...hope this helps

Love the camera. Don't know as I never tried the GPS underwater. But my experience with GPS is the signal is weak and I would tend to believe a shallow depth of water would block signal. With that said got try it and let me know.

The GPS does not work under water. However if you turn the camera on about a minute before you submerge it will give the camera plenty of time to establish your location, and then all of your photos taken once you submerge will be stamped withe your pre submerge location.

When you are indoor the gps doesn't work, in the swimming-pool don't need the gps, the same watch counts the laps and everything with the sensors.

This model is a discontinued GPS only. Transducers to be effective and usable should have the face in the water not inside the hull.

I'm not familar with apps for Marine navigation. I can only say that it works very well with foreflight, an aviation app. So I would say that if the app supports that particular GPS through bluetooth, it should work fine.

Good question. I have never tried it but don't see why it would not work. As long as the ipilot is on and operating to allow the GPS function to trace the track. Next time out I'm going to try it.

I am NOT an expert by any means, however when I am in the tunnels in Boston I lose the GPS signal and it doesn't seem to be able to estimate where we are. The Garmin I had before could. I hope this helps!

According to Garmin manual it can be used in salt water, but the depth range drops to 600ft range. The range is salinity dependent. Hope this helps.

The device itself is not waterproof as the outer case is just 2 pieces of plastic that are snapped together. It is intended to detect small amounts of water (that could turn into larger amounts) before it becomes a problem. If it were to be completely submerged, it doubt it would work (for very long).

I have a through hull US sensor and it works fine in the Gulf of Mexico at all speeds and depths to 50'. Probably faster and deeper but I only go out 15 miles to 50' deep.

Hoops, yes it will, but you will need to buy the network starter kit first. That will enable you to power the gps unit and connect it to your sonar unit.

Yes, I works underwater but it's better you start the monitor outside the water and wait for the monitor to connect to the chest strap.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Yes it does tell you your speed by gps. Its not a very good map on the gps like it doesnt show a very accurate lake map but it does show you bottom depth, water temp, and speed.

It does have GPS capability. I've used it in Antarctica. Can be turned on and off in settings/location services.

yes, but its not meant to be submerged. If youre looking for a GPS watch for swimming, you wont find one. All of my friends have different ones so ive got to borrow them. the best for swimming i tried was the Garmin Forerunner 610, but even that one and all the rest constantly lose signal with each stroke as it goes under water
