Quickly picks up satellite signals

The highly sensitive GPS receiver quickly picks up GPS signals and tracks your location even in difficult places such as in deep valleys or under dense foliage.

Mark important waypoints

You can mark and save 1,000 waypoints and 100 tracks so you can navigate to and from them again and again - e.g. a good fishing spot or a lobster bake.

SailAssist

SailAssist helps you sail more efficiently. Course line and Tack Assist make sure to notify when you need to cross, based on the boat's correct course in relation to the optimally specified bow angle. If you're into racing, there's a virtual start line and countdown timer to ensure you cross the start line at the right time

Save important data

GPS 73 is NMEA 0183 compliant. You can easily transfer data to the device by connecting it to your computer via USB. If you are a boater, hunter or fisherman, you can use the built-in celestial data, which includes sunrise and sunset times, hunting and fishing calendar, estimated time of arrival, and other calculations and marine data.

Display with high contrast

The GPS 73 has an intuitive user interface with dedicated, backlit buttons that provide quick and easy operation. High-contrast display makes it easy to read in all lighting conditions.
