GPSMAP® 1223 - 12" chartplotter with worldwide mapping

The Garmin GPSMAP 1223 is a 12-inch chartplotter designed for professional and demanding recreational navigation. It stands out for its lack of an integrated fishfinder module, positioning it as a solution dedicated to advanced cartography and marine network integration rather than combining fishfinder functions.

The GPSMAP 1223 is compatible with various marine cameras. It supports integration with third-party cameras such as the FLIR M and MD series, as well as the Garmin GC 14 (010-02667-00) and GC 200 (010-02164-00) cameras. To connect standard Ethernet equipment to the Garmin network, a Garmin PoE isolation coupler (010-10580-10) is mandatory.

For a flush-mount installation, it is critical not to use the device itself as a template for drilling mounting holes. Always use the template provided in the product box. This prevents damage to the glass display of the chartplotter and avoids voiding the warranty.

The GPSMAP 1223 integrates seamlessly with the Garmin Marine Network and NMEA 2000 network. This compatibility enables extended connectivity with various sensors, devices, and other chartplotters within your marine system.

No, the GPSMAP 1223 is a chartplotter without an integrated depth sounder module. It is designed for users seeking a dedicated mapping and network management solution, without the fishfinder functionality included in combined versions.

Yes, you can use an adapter plate to convert an existing cutout designed for a GPSMAP 7x2, 9x2 or 12x2 chartplotter to fit a GPSMAP 7x3, 9x3 or 12x3. This makes upgrading your system much easier without modifying the dashboard cutout.

To use camera tracking features such as compass lock or vessel lock, you must connect to the GPSMAP 1223:

A marine camera compatible with tracking (e.g., a newer FLIR IP video camera).A GPS antenna.A heading sensor (a 9-axis sensor is recommended for optimal performance).For AIS/MARPA target tracking, a compatible AIS receiver and a compatible radar device are also required.
