Why This Unit Stands Out
Elite sonar + chart integration : With full built-in support for all major Garmin sonar modes, plus high-performance mapping, you’re investing in a chartplotter that truly does it all.
Ultimate display clarity : The IPS panel ensures crisp visuals from extreme angles — a critical advantage in bright sunlight or on fast-moving decks.
Seamless connectivity and scaling : Whether you expand with radar, autopilot, cameras, or digital switching, this unit acts as the nerve center of your marine electronics.
Designed by mariners, for mariners : Every feature — from preset SmartMode to SailAssist to OneHelm — addresses real challenges on the water, empowering confident and informed navigation.
