Caution

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations may
result in injury or property damage.
The GPSMAP 378/478 is designed to provide you with route suggestions. It
does not reflect road closures or road conditions, traffic congestion, weather
conditions, or other factors that may affect safety or timing while driving.
Use the GPSMAP 378/478 only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use
the GPSMAP 378/478 for any purpose requiring precise measurement of
direction, distance, location, 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 in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer.
Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or
is prohibitively expensive.
vi
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States
government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.
The government's system is subject to changes which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment, including the GPSMAP
378/478. Although the GPSMAP 378/478 is a precision navigation device,
any navigation device can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.
