Marine electronics manufacturer Garmin has unveiled its flagship GPSMAP 9000 series of all-in-one chartplotters boasting 4K resolution for maximum detail.
Available with 19”, 22”, 24” or 27” touchscreen displays, the new series is powered by a processor that’s seven times faster than previous generations.
For superior clarity and sunlight readability, the in-plane switching (IPS) touchscreen displays provide consistent, accurate colours that can be seen from all viewing angles, even with polarised sunglasses.
And for the first time, anglers can see fish and sonar targets in stunning 4K high definition, too, by adding a Garmin GSD sonar module, Panoptix transducer or LiveScope sonar.
“For decades, mariners have been relying on Garmin’s GPSMAPs to help them navigate waters all over the world,” says Garmin’s Dan Bartel.
“Building on that success, we’re thrilled to unveil the 9000 series with bigger, best-in-class displays, lightning-fast processing speeds and the ultimate connected boating experience on the new Garmin BlueNet network.”
Another key feature is the ability to integrate with onboard computer systems for engine monitoring, camera-assisted docking, entertainment and even helm control.
Expected to be available next month, the GPSMAP 9000 series starts at €10,499.99. To learn more, visit garmin.com/marine.
