Our take on the Garmin GPSMAP Handheld GPS

The Garmin GPSMAP is a handheld chartplotter and GPS for boaters and outdoors users who want a dedicated, rugged navigator rather than a phone. Its 3-inch transflective 65K color display stays readable in direct sun, and it combines WAAS-enabled GPS with marine chartplotting, waypoint marking and route planning. It adds Wi-Fi and smartphone integration with Garmin apps, plus NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 support for wiring into a boat's network. Against phone-based navigation it wins on battery independence, sunlight readability and marine networking; against Garmin's larger chartplotters it trades screen size for pocketability. Owners rate it highly, and the main trade-offs are the small screen and the learning curve of its menus.

Questions and answers

Is it worth it over using a phone for navigation?

The unit is listed with United Kingdom map coverage. Check the region on the specific model before buying if you navigate elsewhere.
Can it connect to a boat's electronics?
Yes. It supports NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000, so it can share data with compatible marine instruments and chartplotters.
Does it have Bluetooth?
No. It connects over Wi-Fi and USB, and pairs with Garmin mobile apps through those.
What comes in the box?
The handheld GPS unit itself. Check the listing for included cables, mounts and maps, since bundles vary.
