GPSMAP 178C EXT W/ TM 200 KHZ 010-00340-00
The GPSMAP®
178C Sounder is a new-generation fully integrated chartplotter and powerful
sonar, offering the same brilliant sunlight-readable color LCD, powerful features,
and simple interface as the GPSMAP 172C—all in a compact, value-priced
console that leaves fish nowhere to hide.
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 GPSMAP 178C Sounder 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.
