Garmin GPSMAP86sci Reman Handheld GPS with inReach BlueChart G3 U.S. Product Description
Navigate Open Waters with Confidence
Imagine heading out on your boat for a full day of fishing or a weekend cruise, knowing you have a reliable companion that not only charts your course but also keeps you connected to the world—no matter how far offshore you venture. The Garmin GPSMAP 86sci stands out as a rugged handheld navigator designed specifically for marine enthusiasts. Its floating, water-resistant build ensures it stays with you even if it takes an accidental swim, while the vibrant 3-inch sunlight-readable display keeps critical information clear under the harshest conditions.
What sets this device apart is its seamless blend of advanced GPS tracking, high-definition coastal mapping, and life-saving satellite communication. Whether you're dodging swells in choppy seas or plotting a precise route to your favorite fishing spot, the adjustable GPS filter delivers smoother speed and heading data, giving you the accuracy needed for safe, enjoyable outings.
Seamless Integration with Your Boat's Systems
Turn your handheld into an extension of your vessel's command center. Pair the GPSMAP 86sci with compatible Garmin chartplotters and instruments to stream real-time boat data like speed, depth, and wind right to your palm. It even doubles as a remote control for Garmin autopilots and select FUSION marine audio systems, letting you make adjustments without leaving the helm or fighting through waves.
Wireless connectivity shines here too—ANT+, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi mean effortless syncing with smartphones for smart notifications, weather updates, and cloud storage via Garmin Explore. Hunt for the next big catch with built-in hunt/fish calendars, or plan around sun and moon positions for optimal timing.
Superior Coastal Mapping for Precision Navigation
Preloaded with BlueChart g3 charts, this handheld offers detailed U.S. coastal coverage fusing Garmin's precision with Navionics data. Spot 1-foot contours that reveal hidden bottom structures, making it easier to target fish-holding reefs or navigate tricky inlets, swamps, and ports. Add custom maps via microSD for even more tailored adventures, and rely on 10,000 waypoints, 250 routes, and extensive track logging to revisit spots or share journeys effortlessly.
Sensors like the barometric altimeter and tilt-compensated 3-axis compass provide reliable positioning, while NMEA 0183 compatibility integrates with broader marine networks.
Stay Connected Anywhere with inReach Technology
In remote waters where cell service fades, inReach satellite communication via the global Iridium network becomes your lifeline. Send and receive two-way text messages, track your position and share it with loved ones, or activate an interactive SOS for 24/7 emergency response. Marine weather overlays help you anticipate storms, ensuring safer decisions on the water.
Battery life impresses for extended trips: up to 35 hours in standard tracking or a remarkable 200 hours in expedition mode, powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion pack.
Built to Withstand the Marine Environment
Measuring a compact 2.75 x 7 x 1.7 inches and weighing just 9.59 ounces, the IPX7-rated GPSMAP 86sci floats face-up and shrugs off submersion. The transflective 65K color TFT display (240 x 400 resolution) excels in direct sunlight, and button operation works even with wet hands or gloves. With 16GB internal memory, it's ready for paperless geocaching, picture viewing, and area calculations too.
As a remanufactured unit, it undergoes rigorous testing to meet Garmin's high standards, offering like-new performance at a practical value—perfect for upgrading your gear without compromise.
