The 12.1 in touchscreen runs at 1280 x 800 resolution, so you can read contours, buoy data, and route details without squinting, even when you are standing off to the side of the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosition updates come from a 10 Hz high-sensitivity GNSS receiver, which helps keep COG and speed data looking smooth on screen when you are threading channels or running in quartering seas. Typical draw is 1.7 A at 12 Vdc (max 2.2 A at 12 Vdc), which matters when you are planning battery loads on smaller boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a non-sonar chartplotter, but it can be expanded with compatible marine networking, NMEA data, and external sonar black boxes, so it still fits well in systems that grow over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.1 in touchscreen with 1280 x 800 resolution and polarized sunglasses support for easier viewing at the helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Hz high-sensitivity GNSS receiver for responsive position, speed, and course data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Garmin Navionics+ coverage with offshore, coastal, and inland charts for the U.S. plus coastal charts for Canada, with Auto Guidance+ route suggestions for planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIPX7 water rating for exposure to spray and the realities of an open cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 support plus NMEA 0183 input and output for sharing GPS, heading, AIS, and instrument data across mixed systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Garmin Marine Network ports for tying into compatible radar, sonar modules, cameras, and additional displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJ1939 compatibility with a dedicated J1939 connector for pulling engine data from compatible engine networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless connectivity for app pairing and on-board updates, with ANT support for compatible sensors and wearables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposite video input (BNC) and HDMI video output for flexible camera and video routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo microSD card slots (32 GB max) for additional charts, data transfer, and backups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting options include bail mount or flush mount, which makes it straightforward to retrofit into many helm layouts. The unit measures 12.1 x 8.9 x 3.2 inches overall and weighs about 6.6 lb, so confirm you have enough dash depth and clearance for cable bends before you cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor flush mounting, a proper template cutout and marine sealant around the opening help keep water out of the console. Leave space to access the rear connectors and the microSD slots if you plan to swap cards later, and keep unused connectors capped to protect the contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor networked boats, NMEA 2000 is the cleanest way to share GPS position, heading, engine data, and instrument info across displays and sensors. If you are integrating with older gear, the NMEA 0183 ports can still handle common talker data without needing to rewire the whole boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen your setup calls for radar, external sonar, or additional screens, the Garmin Marine Network ports make expansion simpler and keep data moving quickly. The dedicated J1939 connector is there for installations that rely on engine gateway data, which is common on many modern outboards and inboard packages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMapping and navigation\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Garmin Navionics+ built in, you can get on the water with detailed cartography already loaded, then add more regions or specialized coverage via microSD as your cruising area changes. Auto Guidance+ can help with route planning, but it is still on you to verify depths, clearances, and real-time conditions on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chartplotter makes sense for center consoles, pilothouses, and flybridges where you want a larger touch display for chart work, AIS targets, and instrument overlays. It is also a good match for cruisers and sailors who want strong navigation features today and the option to network in radar, engine data, cameras, and sonar modules later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChartplotter with a preinstalled microSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 connectivity tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269338689717,"sku":"QBP829702","price":2899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299650_qbp829702.webp?v=1771543459","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp829702","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
