View High-res Video and Graphics
The 4008 features a worldwide basemap with high-quality satellite images in place of more traditional maps. For more detail, you can add maps easily with the SD™ card slot without having to connect to a computer. The 4008's high-speed processor draws maps quickly, and its simple intuitive interface makes navigating easy. To keep tabs on your engine room or other area of your boat, you also can connect a live video feed with the 4008's video input/output options.
Add Extras with BlueChart g2 Vision
With the optional BlueChart g2 Vision SD card, you can add a whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter.
3D MarinerEye view or FishEye view provides you with a 3-D perspective of chart information, both above and below the waterline.
High-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs help you orient yourself in unfamiliar areas.
Auto Guidance technology searches through all relevant charts to create a route you can actually follow — one that avoids obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other obstructions.
Connect to the Garmin Marine Network
The 4008 connects easily to the high-speed Garmin Marine Network, so you can interface with additional MFDs and add remote sensors. Once connected, you can share information between the 4008 and other chartplotters on your boat. You can also add high-powered radar and sonar to your system.
