An ultrawide display and simplified interface promise a more streamlined and immersive experience for mariners.
OLATHE, Kan., June 12, 2025 – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), the undisputed leader in marine electronics, is upping the ante. Today, the company announced the GPSMAP® 15×3 chartplotter, a sleek new offering boasting an ultrawide 15-inch touchscreen designed to revolutionize the boating experience. This high-resolution display delivers superior clarity and a form factor optimized for helm space. With its edge-to-edge glass design, it’s a game-changer, offering the benefits of dual screens in a single, elegant unit, making it easier than ever to monitor crucial data and applications.
“We are excited to introduce an ultrawide display option to our popular GPSMAP x3 chartplotter series,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales & Marketing. “This delivers a significantly more expansive and immersive field of view for boaters and anglers. Combined with its intuitive functionality, built-in mapping, and top-of-the-line sonar capabilities, the GPSMAP 15×3 is designed to redefine the experience at the helm.”
Here’s what mariners will love about the GPSMAP 15×3:
- Ultrawide display: Prepare to be impressed. The 15-inch high-resolution touchscreen delivers enhanced viewing clarity and is a stunning 74% wider than a standard 9-inch chartplotter. Visuals are crisp, and information is easily accessible.
- Split-screen customization: The ultrawide display has been optimized for viewing multiple applications side-by-side. Utilize sidebar controls to easily personalize and view the data that matters most, all without needing to switch between screens.
- Built-in sonar: Experience the power of Ultra High-Definition ClearVü™ and SideVü™ scanning sonars, which feature vivid, high-contrast color palettes. These features allow users to effortlessly distinguish fish from underwater structures.2 Support for add-on options, including Panoptix™, LiveScope™ live sonar and CHIRP traditional sonar, is also included.
- Preloaded mapping: Navigate confidently with the unparalleled coverage and detail of built-in Garmin Navionics+™ integrated mapping, which includes Auto Guidance+™ technology3 and a one-year plan for downloadable daily updates. For premium features, consider Garmin Navionics Vision+™ for high-resolution relief shading, satellite imagery, and more.
- Force® integration: Anglers with a Garmin Force trolling motor can create routes, patterns, and tracks for the motor to follow, allowing for a more focused fishing experience. Control speed, check battery life, and more, all from the chartplotter screen.
- Seamless connectivity: Build a comprehensive onboard marine system effortlessly. Integrate compatible sonar, autopilot, radars, instruments, stereos, cameras, and more with either NMEA networks or the Garmin Marine Network.
- Engine data support: Access critical engine information such as RPMs, fuel flow, and more – a must-have for compatible engine manufacturers.
- Management of onboard systems: Take control of all boat operations from a single screen. Utilize Garmin’s EmpirBus™ digital switching to control lighting, power management, and other vital onboard functions. Alternatively, leverage OneHelm™ integrated solutions to control third-party systems and devices.
