The instruction manual is difficult to comprehend. I found it very difficult to understand while trying to interprety instructions in the automotive mode. I had a small Garmin GPS previously and found it extremely simple.2. Why can’t the speaker be built into the unit instead of the cord? from Tigergps.com "The 378 is great gps, suitable for both car and motorcycle. It can so many things with many options or you can ignore all the complex features and set it up for simple operation. from Overstock.com The 378 is great gps, suitable for both car and motorcycle. It can so many things with many options or you can ignore all the complex features and set it up for simple operation. from Overstock.com The 378 is first and fore-most a marine chartplotter. With the exception of radar, the unit has every feature found on the much larger units we use on-board a 32' research vessel. from Amazon.com Works fine however, the car cord would not plug into the unit so I sent it back to Amazon for an exchange. The second unit had the same problem so I called Garmin. First, the guy told me to force it in and when I refused, he admitted that there was a problem with the cord and that they had a different cord. from Amazon.com Would be easier to use if touch screen. Marine lake detail did not include my favorite lake which is the second largest in its State (44,000 acres). Bummed since I could not find a list of the covered Lakes at the Garmin site. from Amazon.com the bottom line: i absolutely recommend this unit for the ease of use, for the many features, the accuracy and the fact that you are buying from a great company. from Shopping.com it can so many things with many options or you can ignore all the complex features and set it up for simple operation. from Overstock.com i had a small garmin gps previously and found it extremely simple.2. from Tigergps.com pros: loads of features, stunning displays, extremely accurate, well built, not enough words to praise it. from Shopping.com
