Editorial Review:
The GPS 72 is a low-cost solution for land or marine navigation designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). The GPS 72 can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections. This rugged, waterproof, unsinkable GPS receiver offers a large, 4-level grayscale screen. It's designed as the next generation in basic, entry-level Garmin GPS.
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.

Simple GPS, good value for money for casual, no bells or whistles
Simple GPS, good value for money for casual, no bells or whistles. WAAS has issue in software needs to be updated to version 2.5 I think, so be sure to buy a serial cable to update. Buy the garmin compatible it works and you save $30. 2008-08-11
happy husband
I bought this for my husband. He hasn't put it down since he opened it and can't wait to get out in the boat. It was exactly what he was looking for. 2008-01-02

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.... 2007-11-22
Ok, but wouldn't recommend this one to anyone else
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.

Useful Handheld GPS
The gps offers an simple interface and features for the price. Somewhat difficult to cache points and replay the cache. 2007-08-23
