It even floats! Provides sunrise/sunset times, estimated time of arrival, man overboard (MOB), marine alarms and marine data. Screen and keys feature a built-in backlight, making its high-contrast display easy to read in all lighting conditions.

A nice upgrade for the 72 if yours has died. I’ve been using this GPS73 side-by-side with a GPS72 for a few months. As compared to the GPS72, on the pro it has a Speed History page that show nice large current SOG digits. Also the Waypoints have longer naming and comments. There is also a couple sailing spec pages but I race small boats and they aren’t needed.
