Garmin introduced an ultra-wide MFD to optimize space at the helm. The GPSMAP 15×3 chartplotter, is a 15-inch touchscreen with high-resolution display, superior clarity and a sleek design. With an edge-to-edge glass format that fits a wide range of dash configurations, boaters can enjoy the advantages of dual screens without needing two separate units, making it easier to display the applications they use most.

“We are excited to add an ultra-wide display option to our popular GPSMAP x3 chartplotter series that offers boaters and anglers a more expansive, immersive field of view. Coupled with its easy-to-use functionality, built-in mapping and superior sonar capabilities, the GPSMAP 15×3 delivers an incredible experience at the helm,” says Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales & Marketing.

GPSMAP 15×13 KEY FEATURES:

• Ultrawide display: Enhanced viewing clarity with a 15-inch, high-resolution touchscreen that’s 74 percent wider than a standard 9-inch chartplotter.

• Split-screen customization: The ultra-wide display is optimized for viewing applications side-by-side and utilizes sidebar controls so users can easily customize and view the data they use most without switching screens.

• Built-in sonar: Ultra High-Definition ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonars offer vivid, high-contrast color palettes to help distinguish fish from structure. Optional Panoptix, LiveScope live sonar and CHIRP traditional sonar are also supported.
