The GPS 73 measures 6.6 cm in width, 15.2 cm in height and 3.0 cm in thickness. Its weight is 203.1 grams with batteries.

The GPS 73 offers up to 18 hours of battery life with AA batteries, making it suitable for extended outings.

The GPS 73 operates with two AA batteries (not included). For best results, use NiMH or lithium batteries, especially in cold weather.

No, the GPS 73 is equipped with a 4-level grayscale backlit LCD screen. It has a 6.6 cm diagonal and a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, ensuring clear readability of information.

Yes, the GPS 73 has an IPX7 waterproof certification. This means it is resistant to accidental immersion up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.

Yes, the GPS 73 is designed to float, which is an advantage if accidentally dropped in the water.

The GPS 73 offers several essential navigation functions:

Waypoints: Creation, projection, navigation, editing, deletion, and refining of position (averaging). Routes: Creation, editing, map display, deletion, navigation, and route reversal. Tracks: Recording, viewing, saving, clearing, and track navigation. Main pages: Chart, Compass, and Dashboard.

The GPS 73 allows you to manage waypoints in several ways:

Creation: Saving your current position.Projection: Creating a new waypoint from an existing one using a distance and bearing.Navigation: Guidance to a saved waypoint.Editing: Modifying the details of a waypoint.Deletion: Removing a waypoint.Averaging: Improving waypoint accuracy by taking multiple measurements.

Yes, the GPS 73 integrates a high-sensitivity GPS receiver compatible with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System), enabling fast signal acquisition and precise position holding.

The GPS 73 offers an RMS accuracy of less than 15 meters. With WAAS compatibility, differential accuracy is improved and is less than 3 meters.

Yes, the GPS 73 has a "Sail Racing" mode that helps cross the starting line of a regatta at the precise moment of the start. It allows you to synchronize a countdown and indicates whether your boat will cross the line early, late, or on time. You can also define the starting line by marking the port and starboard buoys or by entering their coordinates.

Yes, the GPS 73 can be used for land navigation thanks to its "Highway" mode.

The Instruments page displays data such as wind speed, temperature, and wind direction. This information is provided by sensors connected to the device via an NMEA 0183 network.

To install the batteries:

Slide the battery compartment cover downward and remove it from the back of the device. Insert two AA batteries, observing the correct polarity. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Yes, the GPS 73 has a power/NMEA 0183 connector, allowing it to receive data from connected instruments via an NMEA 0183 network, such as speed or wind direction sensors, to display on the Instruments page.

The GPS 73 is equipped with a monochrome LCD screen of 128 x 160 pixels, which displays a basic chart with your position, waypoints, and tracks. However, this device is not designed to display detailed marine charts or complex vector charts. It is primarily a standalone navigation and guidance tool.
