Garmin GPSMAP 4012 Network Chartplotter is a 12.1-inch big-screen Garmin display built for central helm charting and network integration. It combines a bright XGA screen, Garmin Marine Network connectivity, video support, and BlueChart g2 Vision expansion capability.
Overview Garmin GPSMAP 4012 Network Chartplotter
Garmin GPSMAP 4012 Network Chartplotter is intended to serve as a central display in a Garmin-connected helm. The 12.1-inch sunlight-readable XGA screen and flat-panel style make it suitable for larger navigation stations that need a chartplotter with room for additional system integration.
The unit supports Garmin Marine Network peripherals, video inputs, NMEA 2000 and multiple NMEA 0183 ports, making it useful in installations that combine navigation with radar, sounder, AIS, DSC and onboard monitoring. Optional BlueChart g2 Vision support adds higher-detail chart presentation and route-planning tools.
Key Features
- Large 12.1-inch display: The bright XGA panel helps keep chart information readable in direct sunlight and at longer helm viewing distances.
- Garmin network integration: Three network ports allow connection to compatible radar, GSD 22 sounder and other Garmin displays.
- Vision card expansion: Optional BlueChart g2 Vision data adds satellite imagery, aerial photos, 3D views and Auto Guidance features.
- Useful helm controls: Backlit and alphanumeric keypads support easier operation and data entry during day or night use.
- Video and data interfaces: Video inputs and multiple NMEA ports support broader integration across navigation and onboard monitoring tasks.
- Protected settings and alarms: Power-down backup retains settings, while navigation alarms support day-to-day route awareness.
Applications
- Main chartplotter duty on larger boats using multiple Garmin helm components.
- Garmin systems that need radar, sounder and camera data brought onto one screen.
- Helm layouts where a large keyed chartplotter is preferred over a touch display.
