This flagship marine navigator is missing just one thing — buttons. The GPSMAP 5008 features an unprecedented touchscreen interface, along with a satellite-enhanced worldwide basemap and a 21 cm screen that makes navigation as easy as pointing your finger. By connecting to the Garmin Marine Network, you can add sonar, radar and weather. For even more advanced features, you can add the optional BlueChart g2 Vision card.
View Detailed Graphics and Video
The GPSMAP 5008 features a worldwide basemap with
high-quality satellite images in place of more traditional maps.
For even more detail, you can add maps easily with the SD card
slot without having to connect to a computer. To keep tabs on
your engine room or other area of your boat, you can connect a
live video feed with the 5008's video input/output options.
Add Extras with BlueChart g2 Vision
With the optional BlueChart g2 Vision SD card, you can add a
whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter.
- 3D mariner's eye view or fish eye view provides you with
a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above
the waterline and below it.
- 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 5008 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 5008 and other chartplotters on your boat. You can
also add high-powered radar, sonar, and XM satellite weather and
radio to your system.
