The GPSMAP 3010C, GPSMAP 3006C , and GPSMAP 3005C launch Garmin into the world of Marine networking, with plug-and-play systems that put GPS, weather, sonar, radar, and other important data at boaters' fingertips with appropriate add on hardware. A completely configurable display allows a user to select how they want information displayed.

All units are waterproof and feature a sunlight readable, 256-color, 640 x 480-pixel VGA display. These multifunction displays (MFDs) are powered by a high-speed processor and graphics controller for fast redraw of charts and weather graphics. They communicate with the Garmin Marine Network through a 100-megabit Garmin-proprietary ethernet-based network. Boaters can connect a GPS antenna and one remote sensor directly to the MFD. Or, with the addition of the GMS(tm) 10 Network Port Expander, users can connect multiple MFDs and sensors to the same network. Each networked MFD can be configured independently.

For those wanting more than 120 channels of XM Satellite Radio as well as the XM WX Weather Service, Garmin offers the GDL 30A which provides a unique audio-channel interface on the 3010C and 3006C that allows for connection to an on-board stereo. The XM WX Weather and XM audio service require separate subscriptions from XM Satellite Radio.

In addition to your GPS antenna, reception of the XM WX Weather service and/or XM audio requires an additional antenna, included with the purchase of the GDL30A. The antenna plugs directly into the GDL30A for ease of installation - an inherent characteristic of all Garmin products.

For boaters looking for the ultimate in portability and versatility, the GPSMAP 376C has it all. This color plotter offers XM WX satellite weather capability along with both marine and land navigation modes in one space-saving package. You can even pair it with the GSD 20(tm) remote sounder module to add sonar capability, or customize map data for your adventures on land or sea with optional MapSource® cartography.

Both the GPSMAP 376C and 396 receive XM WX satellite weather as well as XM Radio capabilities through the GXM 30.
