Garmin GPSMAP 3205


Plug into the power of the Garmin Marine network with the Garmin 3200 series. Rugged, waterproof, and easy to install, these chartplotters come preloaded with Garmin's detail-rich marine cartography utilizing BlueChart® g2 technology.

The GPSMAP 3205 offers a mid-range option for boaters wanting the benefits of a seamless plug-and-play system and built-in maps for U.S. coastal areas, including Alaska and Hawaii. It has a 5-inch color display, and it can serve as a standalone plotter or network with other MFDs and sensors to deliver XM weather, radar and sonar. Unlike its 6- and 10-inch counterparts, this one does not offer a remote control, VGA output or video input options. However, it does provide full Garmin marine networking capability in a compact, budget-friendly format. Convenient soft key functions allow you to assign a feature such as map declutter to a specific key.

The GPSMAP 3205, along with the 3206 & 3210 come preloaded with the latest U.S. coastal marine maps utilizing BlueChart g2 technology. This new generation of BlueChart features a smoother layering and better integration of map graphics for easy panning, scrolling and zooming. It also offers a choice between a 3D "mariner's-eye-view", or the familiar 2D direct-overhead view — to make chart reading and orientation easier.

I have a Garmin Street Pilot. The car I primarily use it in has an in-windshield antenna that prevents the Garmin from finding the satellites. I bought this, stuck it on the roof, and plugged it into the Gramin and it works better than it ever has. It finds the satellites as least twice as fast and never loses the signal. Have been using this for about 6 months now with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend it.


Gilsson saved the day

I purchased a Garmin 330 GPS only to find that it had an impossible time finding satellites in our 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It seems that all the electronics in the car somehow interferes with satellite reception...the Garmin works fine in other vehicles, even if it's not sitting right on the dash. I mounted this amplified remote antenna at the top right corner of the windshield and have no problem getting a strong signal. The price was one-third that of other antennas on the market. Highly recommended!


Better reception antenna for Garmin

Accessory antenna attached to windshield by suction cups is out of sight (except for the wire) behind the rearview mirror and increases the signal strength to my Garmin 60cs handheld GPS. Allows the handheld to be held under the metal roof for a closer look and handed to others in the vehicle without loosing the satellite signal. I'm very pleased.
