Plot Your Paradise with Garmin's GPSMAP Series

The Garmin GPSMAP® 1653xsv chartplotter is the newest addition to its popular GPSMAP x3 series that combines the same easy-to-use features, including built-in Garmin Navionics+™ mapping and sonar support, with a stunning high-resolution, full HD, 16-inch touchscreen display. For superior clarity and sunlight readability, the GPSMAP 1653xsv’s in-plane switching (IPS) display provides consistent, accurate colours that can be seen from all viewing angles, even with polarised sunglasses.

“The GPSMAP x3 series is known for providing anglers and boaters with a fast, sharp and smart chartplotter experience that integrates seamlessly into their Garmin marine system. We’re excited to add a 16-inch display to the series, further expanding our options to fit an even wider range of dash configurations, both new and retrofit,” says Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales.

What mariners will love about the GPSMAP 1653xsv:
