Garmin GPSMAP8612 12 Plotter With US and Canada GN+ Product Description
Discover the Power of Precision Navigation
Step up your boating game with a chartplotter designed for serious mariners. This 12-inch powerhouse combines crystal-clear visuals with robust networking, letting you command your vessel like never before. Whether you're plotting a coastal adventure along rugged shorelines or weaving through inland waterways, the built-in Garmin Navionics+ charts deliver detailed coverage from Alaska to the Great Lakes and beyond. Auto Guidance+ takes the guesswork out of route planning by suggesting safe paths tailored to your boat's draft, beam, and height—perfect for avoiding shallow spots during low tide runs.
Picture this: You're out on the water at dawn, polarized sunglasses on, scanning for the next fishing hotspot. The in-plane switching touchscreen shines through glare, offering wide viewing angles so your crew stays informed from any spot on deck. Edge-to-edge mounting creates a seamless glass helm that looks as good as it performs, blending luxury with functionality on yachts or center consoles.
Superior Display and Intuitive Controls
The full HD IPS display measures a generous 12 inches diagonally, with 1920 x 1200 resolution that renders charts, sonar returns, and radar overlays in stunning detail. Sunlight readability means no squinting on bright days, and the anti-glare finish keeps reflections at bay. Touch controls respond smoothly, even with wet fingers, while SmartMode presets switch effortlessly between docking, cruising, fishing, or anchoring modes—one tap to optimize your view.
- Flush or bail mounting for custom helm setups
- Wider viewing angles for shared decision-making
- Polarized sunglass compatibility for all-day comfort
Seamless System Integration for Total Control
Building a full marine electronics ecosystem has never been easier. NMEA 2000 and Garmin Marine Network ports connect sonar, radar, autopilots, cameras, and instruments across multiple screens. Pair with ANT+ devices like quatix smartwatches or gWind Wireless 2 sensors for real-time data overlays. OneHelm brings third-party thrusters, joysticks, and engines onto your screen, giving joystick-like control without extra hardware.
For engine enthusiasts, integrate up to four Mercury engines via SmartCraft Connect to monitor RPM, fuel flow, temps, and trim at a glance. Sailors rejoice with SailAssist tools: laylines, race start timers, and wind angles to sharpen your competitive edge. And with Wi-Fi, the ActiveCaptain app unlocks community-shared Quickdraw contours, smart notifications, and effortless map updates from your phone.
Enhance Your Underwater Awareness
Compatible with Panoptix PS51 for FrontVü forward sonar, spot hazards ahead and prevent groundings in uncharted shallows. Add GCV black box for ClearVü and SideVü scanning, revealing structure and fish in photorealistic clarity. CHIRP support pairs with external modules for deep-water prowess, ideal for offshore trolling or wreck diving.
Robust Build for Harsh Marine Environments
Rated IPX6 and IPX7 for water resistance, this unit withstands heavy sprays and submersion. At 11.9 x 8.5 x 3 inches and 6 lbs, it's helm-ready without overwhelming space. Dual microSD slots handle extra charts like Navionics Vision+ for satellite overlays and daily updates. 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS/Galileo reception ensures pinpoint accuracy, with 5,000 waypoints and 50,000 track points for endless adventures.
