Stunning Display and Lightning-Fast Performance

Ultra High-Definition Sonar for Serious Fishfinders
Dive deep into the water column with built-in Ultra High-Definition SideVü and ClearVü scanning sonars. These deliver vivid, high-contrast images that make separating fish from weeds or structure a breeze. The enhanced color palette pops on screen, revealing details that traditional sonar might miss.
Expand your arsenal with support for 1 kW CHIRP traditional sonar, Panoptix, and LiveScope systems. Network it across your boat to share sonar data effortlessly, turning your helm into a full fishing command center.
Build Your Ultimate Marine Network
This chartplotter plays nice with everything from autopilots and engines to cameras and audio systems. Leverage NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Garmin Marine Network, and J1939 protocols for plug-and-play compatibility. The OneHelm app integrates third-party gear like digital switches, creating a unified dashboard.
Pair with Garmin smartwatches, wireless wind sensors, or remote controls via ANT+ for hands-free operation. It's the backbone of a scalable system that grows with your boating needs.
