Garmin International is pleased to introduce the GPSMAP 4008 and 4012. The power of networking meets the brilliance of great design in the new 4000-series chartplotters from Garmin. These big, bright multifunction displays (MFDs) combine video-quality resolution and luminous colour with the latest in sensor and data options – to serve as your all-in-one "nerve centers" for the Garmin Marine Network.

Both MFDs offer worldwide satellite imagery and a new simplified user interface. The GPSMAP 4012 features a 12.1" XGA "big screen" display and alphanumeric keypad. The slightly smaller GPSMAP 4008 is designed with an 8.4” diagonal VGA screen and does not have the alphanumeric keypad for data entry.

Plug in optional BlueChart g2 Vision cards to add true 3D-view detailed mapping capabilities (both above and below the waterline), plus helpful auto guidance, high-resolution photomapping detail, and “real picture” aerial photos of ports, harbors, marinas, waterways, navigation landmarks and other points of interest.
