The best place to find Garmin marine electronics, GPS, fish finders, chartplotters, sounders and handheld electronic devices!
Garmin is one of the premier manufacturers of marine electronics for both boaters and anglers alike. Garmin makes a wide variety of electronic devices to suit the needs of everyone... from fishing, boating, automotive navigation and aviation. Garmin is particularly known as a leader in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and has been one of the leading innovators in consumer electronics. Their primary line of products include:
Garmin GPS ProductsHi-tech electronic devices are perfect for walleye and bass anglers or for boaters just looking to navigate their way in unknown waters. They provide cutting-edge information that can be invaluable in boating and fishing strange lakes... things like weather, sonar, radar, GPS data and information. You can also find a large array of features such as compact size, backlit units, hand-held or fixed mount devices and color displays. There is a GPSMAP product just right for your needs and budget. And don't forget, there are also many units designed specifically for highway travel, including maps and mapping software for road systems throughout the United States, Canada and the rest of the world. Chartplotters & GPS
For navigating through unknown waters, a fixed-mount chartplotter can be the way to go. Again, you can buy them in color or in a basic LCD display. You can use them to download really helpful info such as fishing areas, boat ramps, hazards, and marinas. Many can send, receive and display data with VHF radios. They come in a wide variety of prices and features. So, pick your budget and you can easily meet your needs by shopping online.
GPS SoundersGPS sounders can combine chartplotter info with sounder capabilities so you can view both your position and the sonar data on the same unit. For example, the GPSMAP 188 unit can display marine cartography in high-resolution and also show what's in the water beneath you. Many come standard with a built-in worldwide marine basemap and will accept MapSource BlueChart offshore marine cartography. Fishfinders
Garmin is also a manufacturer of high-quality fish finders. If you're looking for that fishing advantage, then you might want to check out the Fishfinder 250 or 250C (color) with its sonar, beautiful color display, many features and affordable price. Many, if not most, units are great for both freshwater as well as saltwater use. The single or dual-frequency sonar is easy to use. Garmin uses a patented Sea-Through technology that better separates fish from thermoclines and structure. And this is just what makes it so much easier to see just where the fish are. 2-Way CommunicationsA two-way radio is a great device to have on fishing trips, especially ones with more than one boat in the water. So, if you have a party of four, for example, with two in each boat, a 2-way radio can let you communicate between boats for up to 2-3 miles. This not only lets you signal each other when you find a hot spot for fishing, but it is also a great safety feature in case of weather or boat motor problems. Or you can use your radio to decide when to quit for lunch or dinner. We now use these extensively on all our fishing trips. Below are some articles about Garmin products.
