General
Sleek Modern Design
Offering a stunning display, with minimal trim borders and edge-to-edge glass, the GPSMAP 15x3 chartplotter features an ultrawide, high-resolution touchscreen interface with the familiar, easy-to-use functionality of our existing GPSMAP x3 series chartplotters.
Bright and Clear Optics
This versatile chartplotter’s ultrawide IPS display provides wider viewing angles, accurate colours, superior clarity and sunlight readability — even with polarised sunglasses.
Split To Fit
Experience the benefits of dual screens with the convenience of seamless control. Split-screen functionality lets you size and organise your display configuration to put the data you need right where you want it.
Two Mounting Options
A bail-mount option with inset knobs and a bracket supports unique “floating display” installations, while a rear-mount option is provided for secure flush- and flat-mount helm solutions.
Preloaded Mapping
Experience unparalleled coverage and detail with built-in Garmin Navionics+ integrated coastal and inland mapping that includes Auto Guidance+™ technology2 and a 1-year subscription for downloadable daily updates and more on select models.
Optional Charts And Maps
Bring premium chart features to your chartplotter with an optional upgrade to a Garmin Navionics Vision+™ subscription, featuring downloadable high-resolution relief shading, satellite imagery, sonar imagery and more
Traditional and Scanning Sonar Support
Get built-in support for 1 kW CHIRP traditional sonar for superior target separation. Plus, Ultra High-Definition ClearVü™ and SideVü™ scanning sonars feature vivid, high-contrast colour palettes to help distinguish fish from structure (transducer required; sold separately).
Live Sonar Support
Pair with Panoptix™ or LiveScope™ easy-to-interpret live sonar (transducer required; sold separately) to see all around your boat in real time.
POWER-POLE® Shallow Water Anchor
By networking the GPSMAP 15x3 chartplotter with your Force® trolling motor and your compatible Power-Pole shallow water anchoring system, you can access advanced boat control features4 from your plotter, including smart anchor auto-deployment, smart anchor jog, auto stow, anchor drag detection and end-of-route anchoring. Spend more time fishing, less time positioning.
Trolling Motor Integration
Get support and integration for your Force series trolling motor (sold separately) to gain more control while you fish.
Garmin Sailassist Sailing Features
View laylines, race start line guidance, enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, true wind data fields and tide/current/time slider, wind angle, set and drift, wind speed, polars and more.
Sailing Polars
Use the polar table to see key data, including how fast you should go at a certain wind angle and speed — so you know whether you need to adjust sail trim.
Garmin Marine Network
If you have multiple compatible Garmin devices on your boat, you can share information — such as maps, user data, radar and IP camera video — among them.
NMEA 2000 And NMEA 0183 Networks
Connect to compatible autopilots, digital switching, weather, Fusion-Link™ audio system, media, VHF, AIS and more from one screen.
ActiveCaptain App
Built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity pairs with the free all-in-one mobile app for access to the OneChart™ feature, smart notifications, software updates, Helm, Garmin Quickdraw™ Community data and more.
Integrated ANT Technology
Connect with some of your favourite devices, such as quatix® marine watches, gWind™ Wireless 2 transducers, GNX™ Wind marine instruments and wireless remote controls.
Engine Connectivity
You can connect your chartplotter to different engines, including select Yamaha® and Mercury® engines.
Onehelm Feature
This feature brings together all the operations and capabilities of select third-party devices, such as EmpirBus™ digital switching, on one screen.
Send INREACH® Device Messages
Pair your inReach satellite communicator3 to your chartplotter, and type custom messages by using your MFD’s on-screen keyboard. Access your contact list, or enter an email, inReach address or phone number. You can also group messages by conversation for a texting-like experience.
