Garmin GPSMAP® 8616xsv Combo GPS/Fishfinder GN+ Product Description
Equip your vessel with cutting-edge marine technology that stands up to the demands of serious fishing trips, coastal cruising, or competitive sail racing. This powerhouse chartplotter and fishfinder combo packs multifunction display prowess into a sleek, user-friendly design, making it a go-to choice for boaters who refuse to compromise on performance or visibility.
Crystal-Clear Visibility from Every Angle
Experience the difference of a full high-definition in-plane switching touchscreen that delivers exceptional clarity, even under direct sunlight or through polarized lenses. Wider viewing angles mean your crew can monitor charts, sonar returns, and engine data without crowding around a single screen—perfect for busy helms during peak action.
Effortless Navigation with Premium Mapping
Hit the water with confidence thanks to preloaded Garmin Navionics+ inland and coastal charts, complete with Auto Guidance+ technology to suggest safe, optimized routes around obstacles. For those seeking even more detail, optional upgrades bring high-res relief shading, satellite overlays, and sonar imagery that transform how you read the bottom and plan your voyage.
Underwater Awareness Like Never Before
Dive deep into fishfinding with built-in support for 1-kW dual-channel CHIRP traditional sonar, delivering pinpoint target separation. Add ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonars to scan up to impressive depths and ranges around your hull, or go live with real-time sonar views for spotting structure and bait schools as they move. Pair with compatible transducers to unlock the full potential.
Build a Connected Marine Ecosystem
Link up your entire setup via Garmin Marine Network to share maps, radar overlays, IP cameras, and user data across multiple displays. NMEA 2000 and 0183 compatibility opens doors to autopilots, VHF radios, AIS, weather stations, and audio systems—all controllable from one intuitive interface. Bluetooth, ANT+, and Wi-Fi keep you synced with wearables, apps, and wireless sensors for a fully integrated experience.
Tailored Tools for Sailors and Racers
Sailors appreciate dedicated features like laylines, race countdowns, wind roses, polars, and tide sliders that help optimize trim and tactics. True wind angles, set and drift corrections, and speed predictions based on polars ensure you're always pushing the boat's limits, whether racing or cruising efficiently.
Streamline Helm Operations with Smart Controls
SmartMode stations put essential info at your fingertips—one-touch access to sonar, radar, cameras, and media during critical moments like docking. Integrate third-party thrusters, anchors, and digital switching for unified control. Network with trolling motors and shallow-water anchors for automated positioning, freeing you to focus on the fish or the finish line.
Stay Linked On and Off the Water
Pair with the ActiveCaptain app for software updates, community-shared Quickdraw contours, smart notifications, and OneChart management. Send messages via compatible satellite devices right from the screen, keeping you in touch without leaving the helm.
