GPSMAP® 1222 - 12" chartplotter screen

The Garmin GPSMAP 1222 differs from older series such as the GPSMAP 7x1, 7400, or 7600 by its native integration of a video encoder function. This allows it to share composite video streams across the entire Garmin Marine Network, providing extended video integration capabilities for monitoring and onboard management.

The Garmin GPSMAP 1222 is compatible with a wide range of cameras. It supports third-party network cameras, including Garmin GC 14 and GC 200 models. It is also compatible with FLIR thermal cameras from the M and MD series. For FLIR IP cameras, detection is automatic on the Garmin Marine Network.

Yes, to connect standard Ethernet devices such as network cameras, network switches, or PoE injectors to the Garmin Marine Network, a Garmin PoE isolation coupler (part number 010-10580-10) is mandatory. Connecting a PoE device directly to a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter may damage the chartplotter.

Yes, the GPSMAP 1222 supports AIS, MARPA, or waypoint tracking (called 'slew-to-cue') with compatible cameras. To enable this, connect a marine camera compatible with tracking (such as a recent FLIR IP video camera), a GPS antenna, a heading sensor (ideally 9-axis), an AIS receiver compatible for AIS tracking, and a radar device compatible for MARPA tracking.

The Garmin GPSMAP 1222 is a chartplotter and multifunction display (MFD) designed for professional navigation and advanced marine systems. It belongs to the GPSMAP MFD family and is particularly suited for video integration and onboard monitoring, serving as a central solution for managing your marine system.

The GPSMAP 1222 natively includes a video encoder function. This allows it to share composite video streams across the entire Garmin Marine Network, making video streams accessible on all network-connected displays.

Yes, the GPSMAP 1222 can be configured to display multiple video streams simultaneously on a combined screen. However, if the device has multiple built-in composite video inputs, only one video function within a combined screen can use a built-in video input.

To ensure the best network performance, Garmin recommends not streaming more than five video sources simultaneously over the Garmin Marine Network.

The GPSMAP 1222 supports integration with several types of cameras:

Third-party network cameras.Garmin models GC 14 and GC 200.FLIR cameras from the M and MD series.

Yes, to connect standard Ethernet equipment, such as network cameras or network switches, to the Garmin Marine Network, a Garmin PoE isolation coupler (part number 010-10580-10) is required. This protects the Garmin chartplotter.

No, it is strongly discouraged to directly connect a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device to a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter. Such a connection would damage the Garmin chartplotter and could also damage the PoE device.

Yes, the GPSMAP 1222 is compatible with FLIR marine cameras, including the M and MD series. When a FLIR camera is connected to the network, it is automatically detected and displayed in the source list without requiring pre-configuration.

To use camera tracking functions (Compass Lock, Vessel Lock, AIS/MARPA target tracking, or waypoint tracking), you must connect specific sensors and cameras to the chartplotter via the Garmin Marine Network or NMEA 2000. This includes:

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 best performance).For AIS tracking: a compatible AIS receiver.For MARPA tracking: a compatible radar device.

No, this depends on the FLIR camera model. FLIR cameras in the MD series provide thermal views only. FLIR models in the M series with dual payload can switch between thermal and visible views if the camera is connected via a V/IR video cable.

No, it is not recommended to print your own mounting template. It is strongly advised to use the template provided in the product box. If you must print the template, precise instructions must be followed regarding paper size and printer settings to avoid incorrect cutting.

FLIR IP cameras are "plug-and-play" on the Garmin Marine Network and are automatically detected. For older FLIR cameras that do not support IP video, you will need to create an association between the camera and a chartplotter video input. In all cases, if the camera is a standard Ethernet device, a Garmin PoE isolation coupler (010-10580-10) is required for connection to the Garmin Marine Network.

If your camera supports tracking and the required equipment is connected, you must configure the camera's angle and height in the device settings to achieve the best results. The camera angle specifies the angle of the camera relative to the front of the boat, and the camera height indicates its height relative to the heading sensor. Precise adjustments are necessary to optimize the view and tracking performance.
