Garmin GPSMAP 8610 10" Chartplotter w/Mapping Product Description
Discover Superior Navigation with the Garmin GPSMAP 8610
Imagine gliding through coastal waters or tackling a challenging regatta with confidence, thanks to a chartplotter that anticipates your every need. The Garmin GPSMAP 8610 stands out as a powerhouse for serious boaters, combining a vibrant 10-inch full HD IPS touchscreen with preloaded BlueChart g3 coastal and LakeVü g3 inland maps powered by Navionics data. This isn't just a screen—it's your command center, delivering crystal-clear visuals from any angle, even under direct sunlight or through polarized lenses.
Whether you're a cruiser charting long passages, a sailor fine-tuning laylines, or a racer eyeing prerace strategies, this unit's intuitive interface and robust performance elevate your time on the water. Its edge-to-edge mounting options create a seamless helm dashboard, blending high-tech functionality with a clean, professional aesthetic.
Crystal-Clear Display and Advanced Mapping
The heart of the GPSMAP 8610 is its 10-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS display, offering wide viewing angles and anti-glare protection for unmatched readability. Preloaded maps cover U.S. coasts and inland lakes with Auto Guidance+ technology, which plots optimal routes based on your vessel's draft, beam, and clearance. No more guesswork—simply input your destination, and watch suggested paths unfold with depth contours, hazards, and marinas highlighted.
- Navionics-powered charts for hyper-detailed bathymetry and port plans.
- Expandable memory via dual microSD slots for BlueChart g3 Vision or LakeVü g3 Ultra upgrades.
- Quickdraw Contours for community-shared, real-time mapping data.
Boaters rave about how these features transform navigation, turning complex trips into straightforward adventures.
Build a Fully Integrated Marine Network
Go beyond standalone charting with NMEA 2000 and Garmin Marine Network support. Connect radar, autopilots, sonar modules, cameras, and instruments effortlessly. Share data across multiple screens for a unified system that responds to your commands.
OneHelm integration brings third-party devices—like digital switching, lights, and stabilizers—right to your fingertips. Picture monitoring engine stats, overlaying radar returns on charts, or viewing live camera feeds while underway—all without cluttering your view.
Stay Connected On and Off the Water
Wireless prowess sets the GPSMAP 8610 apart: Wi-Fi pairs with the ActiveCaptain app for software updates, smart notifications, and chart purchases. Bluetooth and ANT+ link to quatix watches, gWind transducers, and remote controls. Stream video from compatible cameras directly to the screen for enhanced situational awareness.
USB output turns it into a touchscreen monitor for laptops, perfect for planning sessions at the dock.
SmartMode: One-Touch Control in Critical Moments
High-stress scenarios like docking demand split-second decisions. SmartMode customizable presets deliver exactly that—dedicated screens for sonar, radar, media, or cameras with single-tap access. Pair it with the optional GRID 20 remote for hands-free joystick control, even in rough seas.
SailAssist: Engineered for Sailing Excellence
Sailors appreciate dedicated tools like laylines, wind roses, true/apparent wind angles, set/drift indicators, and tide sliders. Prerace guidance optimizes starts, while customizable gauges keep essential data front and center. It's like having a tactician onboard, helping you harness wind shifts for that winning edge.
