Description
 

GPSMAP® 8612 Chartplotter GN+

You’re a mariner who wants to handpick your sonar but still wants a fast, high-performance network chartplotter with built-in maps and charts, a large 12" IPS display, and more.

The GPSMAP® 8612 chartplotter features a 12” full HD in-plane switching touchscreen display for wider viewing angles, superior clarity, and sunlight readability, even with polarized sunglasses. Experience superior connectivity and networking solutions with complete control of your entire system, right at your fingertips.

The device is preloaded with Garmin Navionics+™ coastal charts and inland mapping that feature Auto Guidance+™ technology (Auto Guidance+ is for planning purposes only and does not replace safe navigation operations) for helping you get where you need to go. Plus, there’s support for optional Garmin Navionics Vision+™ premium map content. The chartplotter includes a premium-performance processor for our fastest map drawing, superior networking, video distribution, and more.

Multiple displays can be flat-mounted edge-to-edge to create a sleek glass helm look or mounted flush. NMEA 2000® networking and the Garmin Marine Network allow you to build your full marine electronics suite — from radar and autopilots to cameras and instruments — controlled from your chartplotter and shared across multiple screens. With SmartMode™ station controls, everything is designed to give you quick, one-touch access to the information you need to ease high-stress situations such as docking.

For full control of your boat on your chartplotter screen, use our exclusive OneHelm™ feature to connect to many compatible third-party devices. Built-in Garmin SailAssist™ features provide data, displays, and prerace guidance needed to gain a competitive edge. Download the ActiveCaptain® smartphone app to your smartphone or tablet to manage your marine experience from anywhere — from trip planning and prefishing to purchasing, downloading, and updating maps. See RPMs, fuel flow, temperature, trim, and more for up to four of your compatible Mercury® engines by using the SmartCraft® Connect gateway.
