Garmin’s new GPSMAP 9000xsv series offers 4K displays, faster 5GHz Wi-Fi and enhanced sonar performance

Garmin has expanded its flagship chartplotter range with the launch of the GPSMAP 9000xsv series, a new line of premium marine displays offering faster performance, higher resolution and enhanced connectivity.

The series includes 10-, 13- and 17-inch touchscreen models, all designed for captains and anglers seeking cutting-edge navigation and sonar capabilities.

According to Garmin, the new models feature up to 4K resolution, 5GHz Wi-Fi® connectivity, and integrated xCHIRP sonar with UHD scanning sonar for greater clarity beneath the surface.

“We’re excited to bring the premium features of the GPSMAP 9000 chartplotter series to even more display sizes,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales & Marketing. “With advanced built-in sonar, faster processing power, higher screen resolution and expanded connectivity, the GPSMAP 9000xsv chartplotters are a complete and seamless solution at the helm.”

The 13- and 17-inch models use a Mini LED backlight, offering brighter, more detailed images in direct sunlight. RapidReturn™ technology doubles the sonar update rate, giving anglers smoother, more responsive visuals.

Sailors can also access Garmin’s SailAssist™ features, displaying laylines, wind data and sailing polars for improved performance.

The system supports Garmin Navionics+™ and Navionics Vision+™ charts, offering detailed relief shading and Auto Guidance+™ technology.

The OneHelm™ interface provides integration with Garmin EmpirBus™ and other third-party systems for monitoring and automation.

The GPSMAP 9000xsv series will be available in November, with prices starting at €3 699,99.

About Marine Technology

Marine technology, as defined by the European association WEGEMT, refers to the use of technology for ensuring the safe use, exploitation, protection of, and intervention in, the marine environment. This includes a wide range of technologies that support naval architecture, marine engineering, ship design, ship building, and ship operations.

In addition to these foundational technologies, marine technology also encompasses oil and gas exploration, exploitation, and production, hydrodynamics, navigation, sea surface and sub-surface support, underwater technology and engineering, marine resources (including both renewable and non-renewable marine resources), transport logistics and economics, inland, coastal, short sea and deep sea shipping, protection of the marine environment, and leisure and safety.

The importance of marine technology cannot be overstated. With over 70% of the earth's surface covered by water, the marine environment plays a critical role in our lives. From transportation to energy production, marine technology enables us to harness the immense potential of the oceans while minimizing the impact on the environment.

Moreover, the development of marine technology is crucial for the sustainable use of marine resources. As the demand for seafood and other marine products continues to grow, the sustainable management of these resources becomes increasingly important. Marine technology can help us to achieve this by providing innovative solutions for sustainable fishing, aquaculture, and other forms of marine resource management.

In Ireland, claims are made that the island country "has the potential to be the “Silicon Valley” of the aquatech world". Ireland is at a very exciting stage when it comes to aquatech. There are currently 62 aquatech companies operating here, all using technology to enable sustainable seafood farming at a time when the sector is facing many challenges.”

Ireland’s growing expertise in the developing aquatech sector means it has the potential to become a global leader in the field, with Irish aquatech companies turning over €200m last year.

Over €15m has been invested in aquatic businesses, and over 200 high-tech jobs have been created in the sector over the last six years.

In conclusion, marine technology is a vast and rapidly evolving field encompassing a broad range of technologies and applications. As we continue to explore and exploit the potential of the oceans, marine technology will play an increasingly important role in ensuring the safe and sustainable use of these resources.
