Garmin GPS MAP172 With External
Antenna
Whether offshore or inland, navigating to your favorite
destination has never been easier, thanks to Garmin's GPSMAP
172. This full-featured chartplotter includes the same user-friendly
interface as its color counterpart, the Garmin GPSMAP® 172C,
but sports a high-resolution monochrome display and a price that's within any
mariner's budget.
The Garmin GPSMAP 172 packs a built-in worldwide marine basemap,
state-of-the art processor with lightening-fast map redraw, and crisp, sunlight
readable, 10-level grayscale display into a waterproof, space-saving console —
perfect for large crafts and small runabouts alike. Boaters will love its
convenient, intuitive design including:
simple keypad with backlighting for easy operation
one knob,
adjustable tilt and swivel mount so you can quickly pop it in and out
front
loading data cards for easy access
Users can enhance basemap detail on the
Garmin GPSMAP 172 by simply by plugging in data cards preprogrammed with
BlueChart® or Fishing Hot Spots® detail or downloading data from optional
MapSource CDs to an optional Garmin data card. BlueChart provides exceptional
offshore marine coverage that includes shaded depth contours, navaids,
shoreline, and more. For inland boating and fishing, the U.S. Recreational Lakes
with Fishing Hot Spots CD and preprogrammed data cards are packed with inland
lake maps, profiles, marinas, fishing areas and useful outdoor resources.
For added flexibility, mariners can upgrade the Garmin GPSMAP
172 to a full-fledged combination chartplotter/sounder at any time by adding a
Garmin GSD 20 “black box” sonar and transducer.
