GPS-Position Plotter Map

Chartplotter

The Chartplotter Uses An Area In The System's Memory Chip As Graph Where It Plots The GPS Data To A Map Scale OF Measure For Accurate Reference. This Memory Space Is Displayed As The Map Page.

The Chartplotter Creates Dots And Small Icons To Represent The Location Of The Present Position, Saved Waypoints, Tracked Movement As Dots, And Routes.

This System Is Not A Basemap, And Does Not Give A Traditional Map Image Of The Earth.


Chartplotter Maps Are very Useful For Position Location Work And As A Navigational Aid.  This System Will Produce A basic Map With A Dotted Line Representing The path taken By The User.  This Path Can Then Be Followed Back To The Starting Position.

 

An Outstanding Choice For Basic Professionals & Outdoor Enthusiast Applications.

For Best Practice (Which May Prove To Save Your Life Some Day), Never Use Battery Power When AC or Cigarette Lighter Power Is Available!  The Actual High-Performance GPS Receiver Circuits Use Up A Large Amount Of Battery Power Fast.  Garmin And Casanova's Offers Several External Power Adapters To Operate The GPS 72 Safely Without Wearing On the Internal Batteries.

 

Casanova World Adventurer Feedback:

Our GPS Expert Has Done A Little Mountaineering In World Heritage Wilderness Parks, Where The Official Trails Are Not Marked Well And Blend Into The Surrounding Ground Cover; Disappearing!   Without The Direct Aid Of A GPSPlotter's Map Screen, With The Traveled Path Displayed As A Dotted Line, Our Expert And His Companion, Could Have Become Seriously Lost, Or, Placed Into Extremely Dangerous Situations During A Fogging Raining Exploration.

 

A Current Topographical Map Of The Park Was Purchased Before The Hike. When The Trail Disappeared At Altitude Behind The Mountain Tops, Mr Casanova Compared The Dotted Line Track On His GPSPlotter, To The Trail Lines On The Official Map.  In This Way, Mr Casanova  Was Able To Quickly Determine Their Position Within The Trail Area And Find A General Direction To Follow.  The Previous Trail Hikes, From A Previous Day, Were Still Viewable On The GPSPlotter Map, Which Greatly Aided In Matching The Official Topo Map Tail Pattern To The GPSPlotter Pattern.  Exposed Trail Was Found In Short Sections Then Disappeared Again.  The Constant Runoff From The Days On And Off Rain, Was Covering Much Of the Trail In One Large Area.  The Trail Appeared And Disappeared In The Ground Cover Along The Mountain Passes Through Bogs And Tundra Like Ground Cover.

 

It Was An Exciting Adventure, With Breath Taking Views, All Possible With The Added Confidence Of Knowing Where We Were At All Times With The Outstanding Global Positioning System At Hand!   GPSPlotters Are Worth Their Investment When Traveling Through Wilderness Country!

CASANOVA'S FIELD TEST REPORT

GPS 72 GPS 76  Compare The GARMIN GPS 72 & GPS 76 GPSPlotters

 

Differences Between GARMIN GPS 72 & GPS 76:

The GPS 72 Was Designed To Offer Garmin's Highest Performance Handheld GPS Receiver Technology With Integrated Operating System, To Meet The Needs Of Basic GPS Technology Applications; Such As GPS Data Logging And As A GPS Coordinates NMEA Feed To Other NMEA Devices And GPS-Enabled PC Software Applications. To Help Reduce The Price Of The 70 Series System Design, But Still Offer The Same High-Performance GPS Receiver And Outstanding Integrated Operating System, Garmin Made The Following Two Physical Changes And Named It The GPS 72:

  • GPS 72 Has A Lower Screen Resolution Of 120 x 160 Pixels, Compared To The GPS 76; This Reduced Cost.

  • GPS 72 Does Not Have An External Antenna Port; This Reduced Cost.

  • GPS 72 Is Black And The GPS 76 Is White.  Note: This White Color Change In The GPS 76 Was Aimed At The Traditional Marine Market Buyer Who Is Use To White Marine Items.  Actually, White Is A Good Choice For Housing Color When Sunlight Heat Is A Factor In The Application.  Consider The White GPS 76 If Your Applications Will Subject The System To Direct Sunlight For Any Period Of Time.  Black Absorbs Sunlight, Which Will Cause Heat Problems To The CPU Inside.  White Will Reflect Sun Radiation.

GPS 76 GPS 76

  • High-Definition 180 x 240 Pixel Display

  • External GPS Antenna Port - Supports Active GPS Antenna!

  • White Housing Reflects Sunlight Heat - Great For Marine And Desert Application

  • Designed To Meet The Needs Of Frequent Users, And Advanced Applications
