Serious
cruisers, sailors and sail racers demand serious equipment. The
easy-to-use, easy-to-install GPSMAP 8612 chartplotter delivers MFD
performance in a combo-size package. It features a 12” full HD IPS
touchscreen display for wider viewing angles, superior clarity and
sunlight readability, even with polarized sunglasses. Multiple displays
can be flat mounted edge-to-edge to create a sleek glass helm look or
can be mounted flush. It also provides standard USB touch output for use
as a touchscreen monitor for Windows® and Mac® operating systems.
Build Your Marine System
NMEA
2000 networking and the Garmin Marine Network allow you to easily build
your full marine electronics suite — from radar and autopilots to
cameras, instruments and forward-looking sonar — controlled from your
chartplotter and shared across multiple screens. In addition, our
exclusive OneHelm™ system coordinates many third-party manufactured
onboard marine products to bring full control of systems — such as
digital switching, lighting, stabilization and more — conveniently to
your chartplotter screen.
Full Connectivity
The
GPSMAP 8612 chartplotter has a premium-performance processor that
enables fast map drawing, superior networking, video distribution and
more. Built-in Wi-Fi technology lets you pair with the
free ActiveCaptain® app for access to OneChart™, smart
notifications¹, Garmin Quickdraw™ community data and more. You can also
control video streaming from our GC™ 100 wireless camera and VIRB®
action cameras. In addition, built-in ANT wireless technology connects
you directly to our quatix® marine watch, gWind™ Wireless 2 transducer
and wireless remote controls.
SmartMode Station Controls
Networked
sonar, radar, cameras, media and digital switching can be independent
or incorporated into SmartMode station controls. With SmartMode,
everything is designed to give you quick, one-touch access to the
information you need to ease high-stress situations such as docking.
The Best of Garmin with the Best of Navionics®
For
the most detailed, clear and concise charts and maps, GPSMAP 8612
includes expandable memory for accessory map purchases such as
BlueChart® g3 and BlueChart® g3 Vision featuring Navionics data. The
charts and maps also include our Auto Guidance technology, which shows a
suggested route to a destination², based on your boat’s
specifications.
Sit Back and Take Control
You
don’t have to stand for hours at the helm. The optional easy-to-use
GRID™ 20 remote input device provides intuitive remote access and
control of your entire Garmin marine system. It features a 360-degree
joystick with a rotary knob and push-to-select button for easy
chartplotter menu/setting navigation and fine control, even in the worst
conditions.
Special Sailing Features
To
help you make informed decisions, the Garmin SailAssist feature provides
critical data displays and prerace guidance to help you gain a
competitive edge. Other sailing features include laylines, enhanced wind
rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, true wind data fields and
tide/current/time slider. Gauge displays provide need-to-know
information at a glance, including true and apparent wind angle, set and
drift, true or apparent wind speed, horizontal or vertical graphs and a
data bar with customizable fields.
