Overview
The Garmin 010-12799-12 is a 16-inch magnetic protective cover for compatible GPSMAP chartplotters. It slips over the display when the unit is not in use, helping keep the screen and bezel protected at the helm between runs, at the dock, or during storage.
This cover is a match for GPSMAP 8416, GPSMAP 8416xsv, GPSMAP 8616, and GPSMAP 8616xsv units. If your GPSMAP is a different 16-inch model or uses a different bezel shape, fit can vary, so confirming the exact model name on the unit matters.
Key features
- Magnetic attachment that goes on and off quickly without straps or snaps
- Built for 16-inch GPSMAP displays
- Compatibility: GPSMAP 8416, 8416xsv, 8616, 8616xsv
- Helps keep dust, salt residue, and dockside grime off the screen when the plotter is not being used
- Useful for open helms and covered storage where the display is exposed to sun and spray
Compatibility and fit
Fit is based on the specific GPSMAP model, not just screen size. This cover is intended for GPSMAP 8416, 8416xsv, 8616, and 8616xsv chartplotters.
For boats with dual 16-inch displays, each unit needs its own cover. If you run mixed sizes at the helm, match each cover to the display model rather than assuming interchangeability.
Installation and day-to-day use
Place the cover over the front of the chartplotter so it seats evenly around the bezel, then let the magnets hold it in place. Remove the cover before operating the unit so the touchscreen and keys are fully accessible.
For best life in a saltwater cockpit, rinse off heavy salt spray from the outside of the cover with fresh water and let it dry before stowing it below.
Use cases on board
This cover makes sense for boats that live on a lift, at a marina slip, or on a trailer where the helm sees sun and airborne grit. It is also a practical add-on for fishing boats and offshore runs where spray and salt film can build up quickly between sessions.
