Garmin GPSMAP 172C With Internal
Antenna
The Garmin GPSMAP® 172C fixed-mount
chartplotter offers brilliant sunlight-readable color LCD, robust features, and
a user-friendly interface—in a compact, value-priced console.
It comes standard with a built-in worldwide
marine basemap and accepts MapSource® BlueChart® offshore marine
cartography—featuring detailed depth contours, inter-tidal zones, wrecks,
navaids, and many other points of interest. For small-water anglers, the Garmin
GPSMAP 172C is compatible with MapSource Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot
Spots—featuring fishing areas, boat ramps, marinas, and hazards for hundreds of
popular U.S. and Canadian lakes. Pre-programmed data cards can be easily
inserted into the slot on the front of the unit.
For added flexibility, mariners can upgrade
the Garmin GPSMAP 172C to a full-fledged combination chartplotter/sounder at any
time by adding a Garmin® GSD 20 "black box" sonar and transducer.
