GPSMAP 8610 Chartplotter
The Garmin GPSMAP 8610 chartplotter is designed for mariners who desire a high-performance network chartplotter with advanced sonar options. It features a 10-inch full HD in-plane switching touchscreen display, providing wide viewing angles, exceptional clarity, and sunlight readability, even when wearing polarized sunglasses.
This device comes with preloaded Garmin Navionics+ coastal charts and inland maps, complete with Auto Guidance+ technology to assist in navigation planning (note: Auto Guidance+ is for planning use only and does not substitute for safe navigation). The chartplotter supports optional Garmin Navionics Vision+ premium map content and is equipped with a powerful processor for quick map rendering and a seamless user experience.
With NMEA 2000 networking and the Garmin Marine Network, users can integrate a comprehensive suite of marine electronics, including radar, autopilots, and cameras, all manageable from the chartplotter. The SmartMode controls streamline access to essential information, especially during critical moments like docking. Additionally, the OneHelm feature allows for connectivity with various compatible third-party devices.
The GPSMAP 8610 also includes built-in Garmin SailAssist features to provide data and guidance for competitive sailing. By downloading the ActiveCaptain smartphone app, users can manage their marine experience from trip planning to map updates. Compatibility with Mercury engines is supported through the SmartCraft Connect gateway, allowing users to monitor engine performance metrics directly on the device.
