Abigail ScottBy Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Garmin quatix 7

The Garmin quatix 7 Sapphire Edition features an upgraded, AMOLED display for better visual quality than the standard edition. The quatix 7 series is custom-made for marine use, but it's also stacked with features for terrestrials, too. We like the extensive list of features for captaining our boat, including autopilot control to run the boat away from the helm, Garmin Sailassist, Navionics data for coastal charts and freshwater maps, waypoint marking, comprehensive connectivity with select Garmin chartplotters and remote control of key multifunction displays, Fusion-Link controls of our onboard entertainment system, alerts and alarms for tide changes and dragging anchors, and data streaming of wind, water, and engine data.

We can also captain our own lives, on land and at sea, with a slew of performance metrics, including health and sleep monitoring, built-in sport profiles, workout apps, ABC sensors for elevation data, barometric readings, and a 3-axis electronic compass. When paired with a compatible device, the quatix 7 also features smart notifications, Garmin Pay contactless payments, music apps, safety tracking, and built-in incident detection for select outdoor activities.
