The power of networking meets the brilliance of great design with the Garmin GPSMAP 4212, which serves as your all-in-one “nerve center” for the Garmin Marine Network. With a 12.1 “ XGA “big screen display” this unit combines video-quality resolution and luminous color with the latest in sensor and data options.

With its counterpart, the Garmin GPSMAP 4208, the Garmin GPSMAP 4212 includes U.S. detailed offshore maps with Bluechart® g2 coverage of the USA and Bahamas.

See detail-rich imagery like never before
The Garmin GPSMAP 4212 features worldwide satellite imagery to enhance the standard vector basemap format. This unit also offers the optional Garmin BlueChart® g2 Vision card which provides high-resolution aerial reference photos for help navigating tricky harbors and channels — or locating spots like area marinas, fuel stops or restaurants. The Garmin g2 Vision plug-in SD data card also allows the Garmin GPSMAP 4212 to graphically depict a true 3D “mariner’s eye” topside view or “fish eye” underwater navigation perspective.

Experience super simple user interface for easy operation
With fewer buttons to push and fewer operational steps to navigate, the Garmin GPSMAP 4212’s simplified menu format makes it easy for you to see and select the data you want to access on-screen.

Simplify navigation with Auto Guidance
Optional Garmin g2 Vision auto guidance technology will help simplify your navigation. It’s like having a knowledgeable guide to local hazards and waterways always on deck. Auto Guidance searches all the chart features to suggest the best known charted route for safe passage.
