It didn’t come with the BlueChart maps loaded as advertised. Review: Unit had the latest software loads including system software and BlueChart loads. Very quick delivery. Nice! This was purchased as a backup unit for one bought a year ago. Still learning how to use the routing and recording features. It has not been completely intuitive but the manual full download helps. Accuracy & startup time are excellent. Predicted battery life of 19 hours seems accurate but wish it was 24 hours…. A very solid unit. ## Features - Increased memory to save and track 10,000 waypoints, 250 routes and 300 fit activities - Includes preloaded BlueChart g3 coastal charts - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09GX6JSYJ | | Best Sellers Rank | 439,917 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 777 in Marine Electronics | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item model number | 010-02635-02 | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Product Dimensions | 6.78 x 17.4 x 4.24 cm; 282 g | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Digital - **Battery life:** 19 Hours - **Brand:** Garmin - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Included components:** GPSMAP 79sc; USB charging cable; Lanyard; Documentation - **Map type:** Nautical - **Model name:** GPSMAP 79sc - **Screen size:** 6 Inches - **Special feature:** Designed to Float; Increased Memory; Built-in Compass; BlueChart Coverage - **Vehicle service type:** Car, truck, boat, motorcycle, bus, snowmobile, SUV, UTV, ATV, golf cart, minivan, RV, bicycle ## Images ![Garmin GPSMAP 79sc, Marine GPS Handheld Preloaded With BlueChart g3 Coastal Charts, Rugged Design and Floats in Water - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DI80VJ8-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what charts does it include?** A: US Coastal **Q: Can I plug in a bluechart g3 sd card in this device to use in a different region?** A: I personally dont know the answer to this question and would recommend that you call Garmin Customer Service and select the proper menu and asked to be connected to Adam in Tucson, Az.
