Ultimate Network Versatility
Fully compatible with Garmin Marine Network, NMEA 2000, and NMEA 0183, this chartplotter shares sonar, radar, maps, user data, IP cameras, and Panoptix sonar across multiple units. Connect autopilots, VHF radios with AIS/DSC, digital switching, weather stations, and FUSION-Link audio systems for a fully integrated helm. Built-in Wi-Fi pairs with Garmin Helm and BlueChart Mobile apps, letting you plan routes on your tablet and transfer them wirelessly—or even control a VIRB camera from the plotter.
Sailing and Racing Optimized
Gain a competitive edge with dedicated sailing features: virtual starting lines, laylines, synchronized race timers, wind roses, set/drift indicators, and true/apparent wind data. Heading and course-over-ground lines help fine-tune tactics, while tide tables ensure you're always in sync with the sea. Transfer waypoints from other GPS devices via GPX for seamless transitions.
