View Detailed Graphics and Video
The GPSMAP 6008 features a worldwide basemap with high-quality satellite images in place of more traditional maps.

The GPSMAP 6008’s high-speed processor draws maps quickly, and its simple intuitive interface makes navigating easy. To keep tabs on your engine room or other area of your boat, you can also connect a live video feed with the GPSMAP 6008’s video input and output options. The GPSMAP 6008 also comes standard with a wide range of brightness options - from sunlight-readable to low-light conditions, you can adjust the setting to match the your surroundings.

Add Extras with BlueChart g2 Vision
With the optional BlueChart g2 Vision SD card, you can add a whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter.

MarinerEye view and FishEye view provide you a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above and below the waterline.
High-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs help you orient yourself in unfamiliar areas.
Auto Guidance technology searches through all relevant charts to create a route you can actually follow — one that avoids obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other obstructions.

Connect to your network
The GPSMAP 6008 easily connects to your network - providing system integration so you can interface with additional MFDs and add remote sensors. Once connected, you can share information between the GPSMAP 6008 and other chartplotters on your boat. You can also add high-powered radar, sonar and XM satellite weather and radio to your system.
