Garmin Launches GPSMAP 15×3: A 15-Inch Ultrawide Marine Chartplotter
OLATHE, Kan. — June 12, 2025 — Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), the world’s largest¹ and most trusted manufacturer of marine electronics, has expanded its award-winning GPSMAP® x3 chartplotter series with the debut of the new GPSMAP 15×3. Designed for serious boaters, anglers, cruisers, and marine professionals, the GPSMAP 15×3 introduces a 15-inch ultrawide high-resolution touchscreen display—engineered to provide a more immersive and efficient experience on the water.
With its sleek edge-to-edge glass format, the 15×3 offers dual-screen viewing capabilities in a single unit, streamlining helm space without compromising performance. Whether navigating challenging waters or managing complex vessel systems, users can do more—faster, clearer, and with fewer distractions.
“We are excited to add an ultrawide display option to our popular GPSMAP x3 series,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales & Marketing. “The GPSMAP 15×3 offers enhanced visibility, powerful sonar options, and full onboard control—all in one intuitive interface.”
Key Innovations of the GPSMAP 15×3 Chartplotter
Ultrawide 15-Inch Touchscreen for Maximum Clarity
The GPSMAP 15×3 features a 15-inch high-resolution touchscreen that is 74% wider than a standard 9-inch chartplotter. The ultrawide display delivers crisp, vivid visuals and intuitive functionality for better situational awareness on open waters.
Flexible Split-Screen Customization
Users can tailor the layout to display multiple data sources simultaneously—such as sonar, radar, charts, or engine stats—using built-in sidebar controls for fast access and real-time decision-making without toggling between screens.
Built-In High-Performance Sonar
The GPSMAP 15×3 includes Ultra High-Definition ClearVü™ and SideVü™ scanning sonar² with vivid color palettes for distinguishing fish from structure. For advanced underwater imaging, it also supports CHIRP traditional sonar, Panoptix™, and LiveScope™ sonar transducers.
️ Garmin Navionics+™ Preloaded Mapping
Mariners can explore confidently with integrated Garmin Navionics+™ mapping, which includes Auto Guidance+™ technology³, high-detailed coastal and inland maps, and a 1-year subscription for daily map updates. Users can upgrade to Navionics Vision+™ for premium extras like satellite imagery, 3D views, and high-resolution relief shading.
⚓ Seamless Garmin Force® Trolling Motor Integration
Anglers using the Garmin Force® trolling motor can enjoy synchronized route planning and track following, directly from the chartplotter. The 15×3 provides real-time speed control, battery monitoring, and route adjustments—right from the helm.
Expandable Marine System Connectivity
The GPSMAP 15×3 is fully compatible with NMEA 2000®, NMEA 0183, and the Garmin Marine Network, allowing boaters to build an advanced onboard ecosystem with Garmin autopilots, radars, instruments, cameras, and audio systems.
⚙️ Full Vessel Control with OneHelm™ and EmpirBus™
Take command of your entire vessel with OneHelm™ integrated third-party systems and EmpirBus™ digital switching. Control lighting, pumps, batteries, and more—all from a single, unified screen.
Engine Data Visualization
Stay informed with live engine data including RPM, fuel flow, temperature, and diagnostics. Compatible with a wide range of engine brands, the 15×3 helps optimize performance and fuel efficiency.
Designed for Simple Installation and Versatility
To accommodate both OEM and aftermarket installations, the GPSMAP 15×3 offers two robust mounting options:
-
A bail-mount bracket with inset knobs, ideal for exposed or “floating” installations.
-
A rear-mount system that allows for seamless flush or flat-mount configurations.
