The GPS system is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy

and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of

all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin GPSMAP 172/172C is a precision electronic NAVigation AID

(NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to facilitate the use of authorized government

charts, not replace them. Only ofﬁcial government charts and notices to mariners contain all information

needed for safe navigation – and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.

Use the GPSMAP 172/172C at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review

and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator

mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPSMAP 172/172C to

all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc.

For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.

CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS

PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A NAVIGATIONAL AID AND MUST NOT BE USED

FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCA-

TION, OR TOPOGRAPHY.

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most

complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of

governmental and private data sources, which we identify (as required) in product literature and copy-

right messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete

data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and accurate

digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in

accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional infor-
