GPSMAP 4208

The power of networking meets the brilliance of great design in this chartplotter, which serves as your all-in-one "nerve center" for the Garmin Marine Network. With an "8.4" diagonal VGA screen display, this unit combines video-quality resolution and luminous color with the latest in sensor and data options.

With its counterpart, the GPSMAP 4212, the 4208 includes U.S. detailed offshore maps with Bluechart g2 coverage of the USA and Bahamas.

See detail-rich imagery like never before

The GPSMAP 4208 features worldwide satellite imagery to enhance the standard vector basemap format. This unit also offers the optional BlueChart g2 Vision SD data card, which provides high-resolution aerial reference photos for help navigating tricky harbors and channels or locating spots like area marinas, fuel stops or restaurants. The g2 Vision plug-in data card also allows the GPSMAP 4208 to graphically depict a true 3D "mariners eye" topside view or "fish eye" underwater navigation perspective.

Experience super simple user interface for easy operation

With fewer buttons to push and fewer operational steps to navigate, the GPSMAP 4208s simplified menu format makes it easy for you to see and select the data you want to access on-screen.

Simplify navigation with Auto Guidance

Optional g2 Vision auto guidance technology will help simplify your navigation. Its like having a knowledgeable guide to local hazards and waterways always on deck. Auto Guidance searches all the chart features to suggest the best known charted route for navigation.


GSD 22

Add depth to your chartplotter view with the GSD™ 20 series remote sounders. The GSD 21, a powerful analog sonar, along with the GSD 22, Garmin's first digital sonar, are robust units designed to operate with stand-alone chartplotters or integrate with the Garmin CANet™ and Marine Networks.

The GSD 22 is a powerful remote sounder that plugs directly into the Garmin Marine Network for use with our network chartplotters or into the new Garmin CANet™ for use with the 292/392/492 series chartplotters. Ultrascroll™ technology keeps the display scrolling at live-action speeds, while the units digital design and up to 2 kW of transmit power (depending on transducer used) provide extraordinary target definition and deep water performance. Transmit power and receiver gain automatically adjust to produce excellent shallow water performance as well. The GSD 22 is dual frequency (200/50 kHz) and works with everything from a standard 500 W transom mount transducer to heavy-duty 2 kW thru-hull or in-hull transducers. Reaches depths to 5,000 feet.

Please Note: This product does not include a transducer. Garmin offers a complete selection of transducers to be purchased separately as accessories.


GDL 30A

With the addition of the GDL™ 30/30A weather data receiver and a partnership with XM WX Satellite Weather, Garmin is proud to bring real-time graphical weather data coverage of the United States (except Alaska and Hawaii) directly to Garmin marine chartplotters.

For the first time, mariners can access real-time weather information for the United States directly on the GPSMAP 3010C or GPSMAP 3006C using the GDL 30 no need for a separate PC interface. The Garmin GDL 30 black box receiver is completely waterproof and part of the new Garmin Marine Network, a plug-and-play system that puts GPS, weather, sonar, radar and other important data literally at a boater's fingertips.

United States weather information captured and processed by the GDL 30 and GA 31 pole-mount antenna is directly overlaid onto the 3010C and GPSMAP 3006C multifunction, color displays. Users can overlay individual or combined weather data screens, so they can see weather conditions at their current location or along a projected path. The GDL 30 and XM WX Satellite Weather service work to keep boaters continually informed of changing weather patterns, so they can make better-informed decisions and spend more time enjoying the water.

XM WX Satellite Weather is the same leading, analytical weather technology and data that is provided to television meteorologists across the United States. It relays a continuous transmission of 20 different types of graphical weather information that can be overlaid on the chartplotter.

For mariners wanting XM Satellite Radio in addition to XM WX weather data, Garmin offers the GDL 30A which provides a unique audio interface with the 3010C and 3006C allowing for connection to an on-board stereo. Over 120 satellite radio channels of music, sports, news, talk, and entertainment are delivered to these chartplotters via the GDL 30A for an additional monthly fee.
