Dock your boat with confidence using the all-new Garmin GC 245 and GC 255 marine cameras


High-definition cameras built for Garmin chartplotters can provide distance markers and guidance lines to enhance situational awareness when docking in tight quarters

OLATHE, Kan., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), the world's most innovative and recognized marine electronics manufacturer, today announced the GCtm 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.

"Garmin's new GC 245 and GC 255 cameras bring many of the innovative video guidance capabilities found in our Surround View Camera System to smaller vessels so even more boaters can benefit from increased visibility at the helm. Much like a backup camera in your car or truck, on-screen prompts can give you confidence while docking or navigating your boat through narrow marina waterways to help protect your passengers and property."
?Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales

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:

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 BlueNettm network.

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

Available now, the GC 245 surface mount camera has a suggested retail price of $699.99, while the flush mount GC 255 camera has a suggested retail price of $999.99. They are compatible with a wide range of Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays, including the GPSMAP® x2, GPSMAP x3, GPSMAP 8400/8600 and GPSMAP 9000 series, along with the GPSMAP 8700 Black Box and the new GPSMAP 9500 Black Box.
