The Garmin marine team is in northwest this weekend for the start of the Seattle Boat Show, the largest boat show on the west coast. The booth is full of the latest and greatest in Garmin equipment, including the new GSD black-box sounders, GDL 40 cellular weather receiver and of course, Garmin's wide array of our popular touchscreen MFDs. From 7- to 15-inches, we've been doing demos for customers since the doors opened. With the BlueChart g2 Vision cards, we can easily show the features and benefits of Garmin's exclusive Auto Guidance technology, which searches through all relevant charts to create a route you can actually follow - one that avoids obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other obstructions. 

And Garmin equipment isn't just in our booth - our plotters, radars, instruments and sensors can be found on a wide variety of boats around the convention center, too. From Wooldrige aluminum boats to Ranger Tug trawlers to Pursuit offshore sport cabins, Garmin can be found as installed and standard equipment around the show. Here's a look at the new Ranger Tugs R-31, a trailerable trawler equipped with a GPSMAP 5215 in the main cabin, a GPSMAP 5212 on the command bridge, and GMR 18 radome on the mast, just announced at this show.  

If you're in Seattle for the show, make sure to stop by the Garmin booth, Concourse booth #2132, to check out what's new!
