The largest network plotter
display in the Garmin marine line, the GPSMAP 5215
offers true “big picture” navigation.
This chartplotter features the
same menu-driven touchscreen found on its 5,000 series
counterparts. Preloaded BlueChart g2 maps of the U.S.
coast and a whopping 15" screen make navigation as easy
as pointing your finger. By connecting to the Garmin
Marine Network, you can add sonar, radar and weather.
And for even more advanced features, you can add the
optional BlueChart® g2 Vision card.
View Detailed Graphics and
Video
The GPSMAP 5215 features
highly-detailed BlueChart g2 marine cartography of the
coastal United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and the
Bahamas. For other areas, the 5215 has a worldwide
basemap with high-quality satellite images in place of
more traditional maps. With the SD™ card slot, you can
add additional maps without having to connect to a
computer.
The 5215’s huge XGA screen
displays graphics with crisp, video-quality resolution.
To keep tabs on your engine room or another area of your
boat, you can also connect a live video feed with the
5215's video input/output options.
Add Extras with BlueChart g2
Vision
With optional BlueChart g2
Vision SD cards, you can add a whole new dimension of
exceptional features to your chartplotter.
- Choose to view 3D map
information at "mariner's eye view" above the
waterline or "fish eye view" below the water.
- High-resolution satellite
images and aerial photographs help you orient
yourself in unfamiliar areas.
- Auto Guidance technology
searches through all relevant charts to create a
route you can actually follow — one that avoids
obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other
obstructions.
Connect to the Garmin Marine
Network
The 5215 connects easily to the
high-speed Garmin Marine Network, so you can interface
with additional MFDs and add remote sensors. Once
connected, you can share information between the 5215
and other chartplotters on your boat. You can also add
high-powered radar, sonar, and XM satellite weather and
radio to your system.
