Garmin GPSMAP
5208
This
flagship marine navigator is missing just one thing - buttons...
The GPSMAP 5208 features an unprecedented touchscreen interface,
along with preloaded BlueChart g2 maps of the U.S. coast and an
8.4" 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 5208 features highly-detailed
BlueChart g2 marine cartography of the costal United States, including
Alaska, Hawaii and the Bahamas. For other areas, the 5208 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 5208's large screen displays crisp, high-resolution graphics
so you can easily see where you're going. To keep tabs on your
engine room or other area of your boat, you can also connect a
live video feed with the 5208'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-dimensionsl 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 5208 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 5208 and other chartplotters on
your boat. You can also add high-powered radar, sonar, and XM
satellite weather and radio to your system.
