Garmin GPS chartplotters are widely used across Australia for their intuitive operation, strong charting ecosystem and reliable performance on both recreational and commercial vessels. At Shotgun Marine Services (SMS) and PMMS, we specialise in Garmin GPS chartplotter installation, system integration and ongoing support, delivered through a consultation-led approach — not a retail checkout.
Based in Port Macquarie and servicing the Mid North Coast NSW and New South Wales, our expert marine electronics technicians assess your vessel, helm layout and operating requirements before specifying the right Garmin chartplotter solution. This ensures the system is installed correctly, integrated cleanly, and supported long after handover.
Garmin chartplotters are powerful tools, but performance depends heavily on correct specification, installation and commissioning. Screen size, mounting position, power quality, transducer pairing and network integration all affect how the system performs on the water.
Our approach is to assess and diagnose first, then design a Garmin chartplotter setup that suits how the vessel is actually used — whether that’s coastal cruising, offshore fishing or commercial operation.
We install and support Garmin GPS chartplotters on a wide range of vessels, including:
Whether you’re upgrading an older unit or planning a full electronics refit, we focus on reliability, usability and long-term support, not just the hardware itself.
Garmin GPS chartplotters are often part of a broader onboard system. Our technicians ensure Garmin units are integrated correctly with:
Correct integration improves situational awareness, reduces operator workload, and delivers a cleaner, more reliable system overall.
Boat owners and operators choose SMS and PMMS for Garmin chartplotter work because we:
Add-to-cart functionality is intentionally disabled so we can focus on properly specified Garmin systems, not time-wasting enquiries.
We are based in Port Macquarie and regularly install and service Garmin GPS chartplotters across the Mid North Coast NSW. Larger projects and commercial installations are supported throughout New South Wales by arrangement.
