We love it when our customers tell us how much they like Garmin by purchasing and outfitting an entire boat with Garmin products.  Especially when they already owned Garmin units to begin with!

This owner of a Sunseeker 47 near Clearwater, Florida liked the Garmin 5212 units so much that he had a new dashboard built to accommodate the screens. He also liked the rugged simplicity and performance of the TR-1/Garmin autopilot and had that installed as well.   

Prior to the new installation, this customer loved his GPSMAP 3010 units, but decided to upgrade because of the 5212's simplified user interface and touchscreen.  With the new units, creating a waypoint and navigating to a destination is as easy as touching the screen.  There's no need to find the waypoint button, because the waypoint button finds YOU when you touch the screen. 

The best part about this installation is that the customers’ existing radar dome (GMR 41) and his existing sonar receiver (GSD22) and his existing XM weather receiver (GDL30A) all work with the new displays.  Even the existing GPS antenna can connect to the new displays, saving lots of installation time.  All that's needed is a quick-and-easy (and free) software update.

So if you love your existing Garmin network but want to add a new display or replace your old displays with the new touchscreen units, no problem.

Just contact our technical support team at 800-800-1020 or support@garmin.com.

See you on the water!
