Garmin GPSMAP 378Mar 30, 2009
The 378 is first and fore-most a marine chartplotter. With the exception of radar, the unit has every feature found on the much larger units we use on-board a 32' research vessel. Display is readable, even in direct sunlight; screen regeneration is very fast.
When used on the road, navigation is no different than any other Garmin GPS (it uses the same RoadNavigator software package). The only negative critique is that b/c it does not have a touchscreen, inputting waypoints can be somewhat monotonous. It also lacks some of the more useless gimmicks - my position indicator is only an arrow, I can't get an animation of a truck up on monster tires.
This unit is clearly meant to be a highly functional, no gimmicks navigation tool. Because of all the features and its range of uses, you will need to spend some time with the manual to take full advantage of its power.

Loaded with lots of information. Would be easier to use if touch screen. Marine lake detail did not include my favorite lake which is the second largest in its State (44,000 acres). Bummed since I could not find a list of the covered Lakes at the Garmin site.

The unit arrived in good order. Am still working on the operating manual. This GPS has many options to set up and different ways to connect to a vehicle. It will take some time to take advantage of all it has to offer.
