Garmin announces the GC 245 and GC 255 marine cameras

Garmin^® International announced the GC 245 and GC 255 marine cameras that are purpose-built to enhance proximity awareness and confidence at the dock. Featuring on-screen distance markers¹ and guidance lines, these cameras can help provide peace of mind during low-speed maneuvers, such as docking in close quarters, with enhanced visibility from the helm. Both 1080p (full HD)² cameras deliver multiple views directly to a compatible Garmin chartplotter, including standard, wide-angle FishEye and overhead Bird’s Eye view¹.

Enhanced visibility on the water

Utilizing cutting-edge camera technology, the GC 245 and GC 255 provide several enhanced video features for increased situational awareness and collision avoidance, including:

• Multiple views: See what’s around the boat from different perspectives, including Standard View, wide-angle FishEye View, or Bird’s Eye View¹ which gives a projected overhead view of the boat, similar to Surround View. All views work in normal and low light conditions.
• On-screen guidance: Distance markers and guidance lines can be helpful visual references for boaters to understand the proximity of surrounding objects. These markers can be shown in Standard or Bird’s Eye view.
• Multi-camera streaming: See up to four camera feeds simultaneously on a compatible chartplotter or share the video across networked chartplotters for better viewing throughout the vessel.
• Digital zoom and pan: Utilize digital zoom to take a closer look at a specific area of interest or pan around the field of view to focus on anything within sight.

Mounting and aesthetic options

Engineered for a wide range of boats, the GC 255 has a stainless steel thru-hull design that can be flush-mounted for a sleek and modern aesthetic. The GC 245 features a surface-mount design with black or white options to complement the boat’s color scheme. It can be mounted with the dome up or down and does not require cutting into the vessel’s hull for simple installation. Both camera models also offer easy setup and full integration on the Garmin Marine Network or the Garmin BlueNet^™ network.

Rugged and weatherproof, these cameras have an IPX7 rating to withstand typical marine environments, including water and dust.
