The economical GPSMAP 3005C will introduce a new segment of boaters to the Garmin Marine Network.
With its lower price and smaller footprint, this unit is ideal for
serious bass or walleye anglers, or for pleasure boaters who want to
make sure they have cutting-edge information at their fingertips. The
GPSMAP 3005C also works well as a secondary unit for a boat already
rigged with the Marine Network.
The
waterproof GPSMAP 3005C features a five-inch (diagonal)
sunlight-readable, 256-color, 640 x 480-pixel VGA display. Like other
multifunction displays (MFDs) within the Garmin Marine Network, the
GPSMAP 3005C is compatible with BlueChart®, MapSource® Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots®, and Minnesota Lakemaster®
marine cartography. The GPSMAP 3005C communicates with the rest of the
network via a 100-megabit Garmin proprietary network. Once it is
connected, the 3005C automatically detects any and all peripherals,
automatically sharing information like waypoints, routes, tracks, and
cartography.
The GPSMAP 3005C accepts XM WX Satellite
Weather data service from the GDL™ 30 and GDL 30A weather data receiver
(sold separately). When installed, the GPSMAP 3005C can display more
than 15 different types of graphical weather information—including
animated NEXRAD weather radar and forecasts, pressure, visibility,
precipitation, wind data, wave data, and sea surface
temperatures—directly onto the chartplotter display. With the GDL 30A,
the unit also provides XM Satellite Radio service.
For
boaters wanting dual-frequency sonar capabilities, the GPSMAP 3005C can
be connected to Garmin’s GSD 20 “black box” sounder, which offers 4,000
watts of peak-to-peak power (500 watts RMS).
To offer the greatest value in a compact size, the GPSMAP 3005C differs from the larger GPSMAP 3006C and GPSMAP 3010C in the following ways:
- 3 serial ports (1 dedicated to the GPS 17, 2 configurable), compared to 4 for the GPSMAP 3006C and GPSMAP 3010C
- Single, front-loading card slot vs 2 slots on the GPSMAP 3006C and GPSMAP 3010C
- The following features are not supported: VGA output, video input, audio out, alpha numeric keypad, and IR remote
