The GPS 72 packs GPS navigation into a waterproof, unsinkable device. View larger.
The GPS 72 is a full-function GPS with a factory-loaded Marine Point Database that contains data for cities with a population of 200,000 or more worldwide, nautical navaids for North and South America, and tide stations for the United States. Using MapSource and the built-in 1 MB of internal memory, you can load and display a variety of points of interest. This unit features a permanent user data storage, 500 user waypoints with name and graphic symbols that allow up to 50 reversible routes, and audible alarms for anchor drag, arrival, off-course, proximity to waypoint, and clock functions.

The GPS 72 also features course and speed filtering, an automatic track log with up to 10 savable tracks that let you retrace your path in both directions, and a trip computer that provides odometer, stopped time, moving and overall averages, total time, max speed, and more. And just to make sure your fishing trip is as successful as possible, the GPS 72 includes built-in celestial tables that tell you the best times for fishing in your area, as well as showing you sun and moon location calculations.

The GPS 72 is a 12-channel, handheld GPS receiver with a built-in quad helix antenna. It has nine keys located on the front of the unit that allow the user to quickly access all of the unit's functions. The large 120 x 160 pixel, high-contrast FSTN, four-level gray monochrome backlit display and a large-numbers viewing option make it easy to view under variable lighting conditions. Powered by only two AA batteries, this unit will run for up to 16 hours.

Designed with the outdoor user in mind, this Garmin GPS unit weighs a light 7.5 ounces and measures a pocket-sized 2.7 x 1.2 x 6.2 inches (WxDxH). The GPS 72 is waterproof to IPX7 standards, meaning it can be submerged down to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes, floats, and is rugged enough to endure the most trying use. The included wrist strap, owner's manual, and quick reference guide, combined with Garmin's friendly user interface, will allow you to navigate in no time. And beyond the features and functionality, the GPS 72 provides that most critical of benefits--peace of mind. With the GPS 72 you will always know where you are, where you have been, and where you are going. And since you will always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do--explore the outdoors.

5 out of 5 stars great stuff.......2007-11-22

My boyfriend and I just started with geocaching and this is a great thing to move around with it and help you find your treasure....

3 out of 5 stars Ok, but wouldn't recommend this one to anyone else.......2007-10-10

I got this mainly for boating and fishing. I wanted cheap and didn't have my heart set on a lot of features. That said, I was a little disappointed to see that I couldn't even upload basic geographical data, like lake outlines or major roads. Also, if the batteries get even slightly low, it locks up regularly. It can be very frustrating. Also, I would much rather have a USB or some other interface for transferring data because it can be difficult finding a computer that has a 15-pin serial port on it. I was aware of this when I bought it, but am regretting it now.

On the good side, it works, it's very solid and has a nice interface. For what I use it for it does the job. If you're looking to buy a new one, I would recommend spending a little more and getting the next model up.

3 out of 5 stars Useful Handheld GPS.......2007-08-23

The gps offers an simple interface and features for the price. Somewhat difficult to cache points and replay the cache.

5 out of 5 stars Great piece of equipment.......2007-08-23

I purchased this GPS to use in the field on paleontological digs. I have found it to be easy to use and accurate. The size is appropriate both for visibility and for ease of carrying.

5 out of 5 stars GARMIN GPS REVIEW BY GENE GUTHAN.......2007-07-27

This is the third gps I have owned since 1990, the first cost north of 700 dollars. It was great but nothing compared to this new Garmin 72.
The model 72 is not for someone who wants to navigate thru cities. It is primarialy for basic navigation using entered waypoints. I live on a large stump filled lake and navigation must be precise. I plot my routes to navigate thru the stumps and trees.It's cheap and very reliable. I would highly recommend it to fisherman especially.

5 out of 5 stars HELD UP OVER VERY ROUGH GRAVEL MOUNTAIN ROADS.......2007-12-07

I USED THE TEMPORARY ADHESIVE PATCH ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE TRAVELED OVER GRAVEL MOUNTAIN BACK ROADS AT 5-15MPH WITH AN F250 4X4, WHICH HAS A PRETTY STIFF RIDE. THE 76S DID ALOT OF VIBRATING, BUT NEVER LOST IT'S LOCKED IN POSITION ON THE MOUNT. SEEMS TO WORK PRETTY WELL FOR THE MONTH THAT I HAVE HAD IT.

5 out of 5 stars Works great.......2007-10-11

I have been using this mount for almost a year and I love it!!!!

However........ The previous review is correct -- the sticky stuff Garmin provides for the dashboard needs to be tossed out with the packaging. Don't even bother with it.. throw it away.

I have mine attached to my dashboard with two large "3M Command Strips" and that works GREAT!!! I have had no problem at all since I switched over to the 3M strips which are available almost everywhere. If you can't find a package of the large strips, the medium ones work too, but you need to use three of them.
(plus - 3M strips won't leave a mark on the dashboard if you decide to mount your GPS in a friend's car for the day)
This last time I moved the mount in my van with the 3M strips was over 3 months ago and it is still holding strong with no slipping at all.... try it!!!

I love the veratility of this mount. Much better than the old "stick to the windshield" type I used before. I can get it to any angle I want to avoid glare or to make it easier to read. I also love the fact that it is easy to get the GPS in and out in a hurry if you are taking it with you.. you don't have to fumble around and take the mount apart just to get your unit out.

This mount is quite sturdy, easy to adjust and does the job well.... nice!

2 out of 5 stars Great Mount but the stick-on mounting is marginal.......2007-06-22

The part of this bracket that holds the GPS is terrific. But the stick-on base is a joke. If you have treated your mounting surface previously with any kind of cleaner, polish, or wax, you will find it nearly impossible to mount this bracket. They supply cleaner and instructions, and on brand new surfaces I suspect it works better. But beware, this thing will let your nice GPS go flying just when you can't afford it to...

Buy the garmin Marine Mount for your GPSMap 76, drill a couple holes and hard-mount the unit - you won't regret it. Alternatively, look at the various RAM mounts made for the GPSMap 76 series - they too have hard mount solutions that will secure your unit as it deserves to be.

3 out of 5 stars Adequate for me.......2007-03-31

Not as adjustable as the etrex mount, but works for me. It has the same base as the etrex mount, in fact - I didn't have to peel off the etrex base to snap in the holder for my 76Csx; just popped the etrex one out, gpsmap one going in.
Kind of pricey for what you get, but if you want/need one, you don't have many manufacturers (2) that makes a mount. A RAM mount would be an alternative, but I couldn't tell if they had temporary adhesive disks like garmin. So I went with Garmin.

5 out of 5 stars Garmin Automotive Mount for Garmin GPS 72 and GPS 76.......2007-01-12

This product works great! hold GPS firmly and securely to the dashboard, even traveling off road! It adjusts well for viewing by anyone in the vehicle. The dashboard in my van is very flat, which I think helps in how well this product works.

Amazon however was very disappointing, the web site claimed it was in stock and would ship within 24-48 hours, it did not ship for over two (2) weeks!

5 out of 5 stars Fast delivery and quality product.......2007-04-15

Talk about quick shipping, I ordered this on a Wednesday afternoon and had it on Friday! Thanks.

The Case itself is a great fit and easy to take on and off to access batteries, PC connectors etc.

I was pleasantly surprised at the stiffness of the case, from the pictures and description, I was expecting a foam rubber/neoprene type case.

So to sum it up, great case, great quality and fast delivery!

Thanks Foarm

5 out of 5 stars Best of the best (as usual)!!.......2006-10-31

This is my third Foarm GPS case. The first (rubberized cloth) houses my Garmin GPS 72, the second (black rubber) protects my Garmin 76Cx, and this one will hold my new Garmin GPS 76CSx. If I could, I would give this product 6 stars.

These cases are unbelievable. Geocaching in Canada this summer I took a tumble on the rocks--the case protected my GPS as I watched it "bounce" 3 times on the boulders. Not a scratch on my GPS and it still worked like a charm. These cases allow you to grip your GPS so that it is next to impossible to let it go. They are easy to clean in the rare case that they do get dirty (they are definitely NOT dirt magnets like the others).

I've had the Garmin case and numerous neoprene cases--they are good BUT, the Garmin case has to be opened and the GPS removed to use it. The neoprene cases gather dirt fast, and the clear plastic face covers "yellow up" rather quickly. The GPS is difficult to put in the neoprene cases, and difficult to remove, and they just do not provide the protection.

I love the long lanyard--no more wrist straps--for those of you who prefer the wrist strap, the lanyard can be shortened up and used as such.

The cases are made to "last a lifetime" and I am sure they will outlast the life of the GPS receiver I put in them. In fact my last GPS purchase was based on the fact that I could get this Foarm case to put it in.

I spoke with Richard at Foarm last week and he informs me that they are in the process of making a case for the Garmin eTrex--hip hip hurrah to you for that move. Hope you make one for the Garmin GPS 60 series soon as well (my wife has this unit).

If you can afford a GPSr, you can't afford NOT to have the GREAT protection these Foarm cases offer in protecting your investment.

The plastic lens covers provided just don't work for me, so I do not use them--the thickness of the case will protect the glass screen from damage in most cases--it has in all cases so far for me!!

4 out of 5 stars Great case .......2006-09-28

Case quality and design is excellent but the glossy screen protectors have blotchy white spots, I had some boxwave anti glare protectors for my pda phone that worked perfect.

This company is a touchy lot; I posted a positive review about their company in the feedback section but stated my reservations about the screen protector. Multiple emails and a phone call later I agreed to removed said feedback since in fairness I didn't bother installing the splotchy screen protector which they insist looses its spots when installed. It may very well be entirely transparent when installed but since I round filed the supplied screen protectors on sight of the glare and splotches I can not confirm this.

Beyond this the case stands on its own merits and IMO an anti-glare screen protector is almost a requirement in this unit's intended environments.

All considered still by far the best case for my GPSMAP 76CSX that I have seen. Only reason for the 4 stars is the pest factor.

5 out of 5 stars Great protection for a great product.......2006-08-23

The Foarm case for my Garmin 76csx was definitely money well spent. The case fits the device perfectly, exposing all the buttons and lcd display. The case is rugged, the zippers work well, and since the case is made of a ruberized material, the unit will stay put in many placed without sliding around. Great product for the price!

5 out of 5 stars Best GPS case made.......2006-05-02

I have a Garmin 76s, I have used other cases they always seemed to slip away from the viewing area of the Garmin,and they also had a clear plastic window that looked dirty. The Foarm case solved these problems it really fits well and the stick on screen protector is crystal clear, makes it a pleasure to use my GPS again

5 out of 5 stars Very rugged ... like rubberized truck bed.......2007-09-24

From the photo, it almost looks like the Foarm GPS case is made of a soft foam-like material. Fortunately, this isn't true at all! It is made of a durable rubber that compares to the spray on liner material put in truck beds - tough and very easy to grip (even when wet). As for fit, it's perfect for my 76 CSx. The Foarm case also comes with several laminate screen protectors to stick over the GPS screen to prevent scratches.

Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

5 out of 5 stars Foarm-This is the case to get to protect your Garmin GPS.......2007-06-11

I stumbled over this while looking for the Garmin brand GPS case. I'm glad I found the Foarm brand one. It is the best protection when the GPS gets dropped on hard surfaces or in the water. Your GPS will still float! Fits like a wetsuit. Comes with replaceable protective overlay for the display. I suggest getting others (for PDAs) and use the one included as a template. Integrated lanyard and safety clip. The pefect design. ...and you will drop it!

5 out of 5 stars The case to beat all cases........2007-01-12

Your GPS deserves one of these. It is a high quality exact molded fit to my 76csx. I spoke to a company rep who explained to me that the grey vs black case is just a color difference. The grey is a bit better suited to marine use due to its color if it falls overboard. In response to the screen covers, I installed it correctly and still think it hinders visibility slightly, but it'll do until I find a better material. However the second screencover will act as a perfect template.

5 out of 5 stars Best case available.......2006-10-04

This is the third case I've purchased for my Garmin GPS 76 and it is by far the best. Superb design, top-notch quality! Case fits like a glove. Screen protector offers crystal clear protection. Excellent customer service.

5 out of 5 stars Foarm is the perfect GPS protection.......2006-08-01

I own a Garmin GPSMap 76cx which accompanies me on many wilderness canoe trips in northern Canada and I needed a rugged case to protect it from many potential perils. The Foarm all terrain case is perfect. It's rigid, non-slip and a perfect fit. The case stands proud of both the GPS buttons and the screen, protecting both from damage in a fall. It fits perfectly, does not interfere with GPS operation, does not obscure the screen and is a cinch to put on/take off. I imagine the other Foarm cases are of equal quality.
Communications, sevice and delivery from Foarm were top notch. An excellent purchase in every respect.

This mount will not work as is. You must purchase a cradle for your GPS also. This was not described in the details. Now I must invest in additional items for it to work!

        Product Description

        Why is the Hybrid AA battery better? The Hybrid AA Battery is the next step in battery evolution. Original Alkaline batteries could only be used once and had to be thrown away. Bad for the environment, and bad for your wallet. Why throw money away? Nimh Rechargeable batteries were the solution, they could be used over and over again, but they had to be charged right out of the package, and would slowly drain even when not being used. If left sitting for a few months after being charged it would drain completely. The latest and greatest battery technological improvement, the Hybrid AA, overcomes these limitations by being ready to use right out of the package and holding it's charge up to four times as long. You can charge your batteries and they will be ready to go when you need them, no more charging immediately before use. *These batteries will work with any device that uses AA batteries, and replace any obsolete Alkaline AA or Nimh AA batteries.* COMPATIBLE w/ Garmin GPS Handheld Navigator GPS 60 - 72 - 76
