Garmin GPSMAP 5208 ChartPlotters Reviews


Details:Garmin nailed this one with the 5208. The touchscreen is a real nice touch (pun) to this preloaded mapping unit. The unit includes BlueChart g2 maps of the U.S. coast. The screen size should be more to the likings of customers at a beautiful 8.4 inches. Navigating while running is easy to read and maintain course with this unit. As with the other small units and non touch screens you can add sonar, radar, and weather. Working tracks and setting routes is very easy for the non tech person.

Model No.

I have been fishing the mosquito lagoon flats for years and have always done so safely with my garmin units. I recently upgraded to this model and love the touch screen and size... When running this unit is very easy to read and stay in the channels!

Rating: The Unit I Wish I Bought

This is the unit that we all wish we bought when buying it's smaller brother. The touchscreen seems so nice and works great even with my sweaty and grimy fingers from a day of fishing. I am putting away cash for this upgrade. I have the 540 now and love it, but bigger is usually better :)
