Garmin GPS MAP 3010C
The GPSMAP 3010C and the GPSMAP 3006C launch Garmin into the
world of Marine networking, with plug-and-play systems that put GPS, weather,
sonar, radar, and other important data at boaters’ fingertips.
Both units are waterproof and feature a sunlight readable,
256-color, 640 x 480-pixel VGA display. The screen size for the GPSMAP 3010C is
10.4" diagonal. These multifunction displays (MFDs) are powered by a high-speed
processor and graphics controller for fast redraw of charts and weather
graphics. They communicate with the Garmin Marine Network through a 100-megabit
Garmin-proprietary ethernet-based network. The entire system is waterproof and
completely plug-and-play—the MFDs automatically detect any and all peripherals
once they’re connected. Boaters can connect a GPS antenna and one remote sensor
directly to the MFD. Or, with the addition of the GMS™ 10 Network Port Expander,
users can connect multiple MFDs and sensors to the same network. Each networked
MFD can be configured independently.
A unique feature to the Garmin Marine Network is the addition of
the GDL™ 30 weather data receiver. Through a partnership with XM WX Satellite
Weather, mariners can—for the first time—access real-time graphical weather data
for the United States directly on the GPSMAP 3010C or 3006C—without the need for
a separate PC interface. For those wanting more than 120 channels of XM
Satellite Radio along with weather data, Garmin also offers the GDL 30A—which
provides a unique audio-channel interface on the 3010C and 3006C that allows for
connection to an on-board stereo.
GPSMAP 3000 series products receive sonar data through the GSD
20, a proprietary "black box" sounder which offers 4,000 watts of peak-to-peak
power (500 watts RMS) in a dual-frequency transducer. The Garmin Marine Network
will be compatible with Garmin's new marine radar that is expected for the 2005
marine season. More information on the radar should be available in late
2004.
The Garmin Marine Network also offers a unique network upgrade
system. The user simply prompts the MFD to read the current software version of
all components within the network, and writes them onto a Garmin data card. Then
the user uploads this data via a PC to the Garmin website, where the newest
software versions are downloaded to the data card. The entire system is
automatically updated once the card is re-inserted into the MFD.
