Review on Garmin GPSMAP Navigator Chartplotter 010 00864 01 by Anand Anand ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

This is already my second Garmin, which perishes in sea water. The device did not even fall into the water, it just lay on the deck of the kayak and was washed over by a wave. As a result, at the end of the day I found water in the battery compartment. Corrosion immediately went, which ate the contacts and the SD card located under the batteries. The device was under warranty. The store replaced it without any problems, which pleasantly surprised me. And yet: if you go to sea, it is better not to allow the contact of the navigator with salt water. If you still bathed, rinse the device itself not only from the outside, but also check its "insides"

Pros
  • Stability of work, ergonomics (buttons on top), the presence of a barometer and a built-in compass.
Cons
  • Although it floats, it is not 100% waterproof. Water seeps into the battery compartment and into the protected USB and external antenna connectors.
