Garmin Marine Network and NMEA 2000 Support
Full-network compatibility allows you to add more capabilities to your boat.
Garmin Marine Network support allows sharing of sonar, including Panoptix
FrontVü collision avoidance sonar, maps, user data, dome or open-array radar
and IP cameras among multiple units. Plus, there’s NMEA 2000 network
connectivity and NMEA 0183 support for autopilots, digital switching, weather,
FUSION-Link, VHF, AIS and other sensors.
Built-in Wi-Fi® Connectivity
Enjoy built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for BlueChart
Mobile 2.0 and Garmin
Helm apps. Garmin Helm allows you
to view and control your compatible chartplotter from a compatible smartphone
or tablet while providing enhanced situational awareness for the mariner. With
BlueChart Mobile, a free app downloaded from the App Store™, you can get
reliable weather information while you plan marine routes on your iPad® or
iPhone® then wirelessly transfer them to your boat’s compatible networked
Garmin chartplotter. You can even stream and control a VIRB
action camera from the chartplotter.
Built-in ANT® Connectivity
Enjoy built-in ANT wireless connectivity directly to quatix® marine
watch, Garmin Nautix™ in-view
display, gWind™ Wireless 2 transducer, GNX™
Wind marine instrument and wireless
remote controls.
Heading and Position Refreshed 10 Times per Second
Fast, responsive built-in 10 Hz GPS and GLONASS receiver refreshes your
position and heading 10 times each second to make your movement on the screen
more fluid. It makes dropping up to 5,000 accurate waypoints — and finding
your way back to them — quick and easy.
Upgrade to Our Best Maps on the Water
Include expandable memory for accessory map purchases, such as LakeVü
HD Ultra with Max Def Lakes or BlueChart
g2 Vision HD, which adds Garmin patented Auto Guidance¹ and other great
features.
Built-in SailAssist Features
To help you gain a wind-maximizing competitive edge, your chartplotter
features a pre-race guidance page that shows your virtual starting line along
with data fields showing laylines, time to burn before the start and a race
timer that can be synchronized across all your networked Garmin GPS products.
In addition, other supported sailing features include an enhanced wind rose,
heading and course-over-ground lines, set and drift, true and apparent wind
data and more.
GPX Waypoints Transfer
If you have waypoints, tracks or frequently used routes stored on another
manufacturer’s GPS product — or on a Garmin handheld device — it’s easy to
transfer those items to your new Garmin chartplotter via industry-standard GPX
software formatting.
