Model: 010-01510-50The GPSMAP® 8617 chartplotter features a 17" full HD in-plane switching touchscreen display for wider viewing angles, superior clarity and sunlight readability, even with polarized sunglasses. It offers built-in support for our industry-leading sonar, including dual-channel 1 kW traditional CHIRP, CHIRP ClearVü™ and CHIRP SideVü™ scanning sonars plus built-in support for Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar (no black box required). It also supports the LiveScope™ System and the entire live sonar product line, which allow you to clearly see fish swimming around and below your boat in real time (transducers sold separately). The device is preloaded with Garmin Navionics+™ coastal charts and inland mapping that feature Auto Guidance+™ technology (Auto Guidance+ is for planning purposes only and does not replace safe navigation operations.) Plus, there’s support for optional Garmin Navionics Vision+™ premium map content. Experience superior connectivity and networking solutions with complete control of your entire system, right at your fingertips. The chartplotter includes a premium-performance processor for our fastest map drawing, superior networking, video distribution and more. Multiple displays can be flat mounted edge-to-edge to create a sleek glass helm look or mounted flush. NMEA 2000® networking and the Garmin Marine Network allow you to build your full marine electronics suite — from radar and autopilots to cameras and instruments — controlled from your chartplotter and shared across multiple screens. With SmartMode™ station controls, everything is designed to give you quick, one-touch access to the information you need to ease high-stress situations such as docking. For full control of your boat on your chartplotter screen, use OneHelm™ to connect to many compatible third-party devices. Built-in Garmin SailAssist™ features provide data, displays and prerace guidance needed to gain a competitive edge. Download the ActiveCaptain® app to your smartphone or tablet to manage your marine experience from anywhere — from trip planning and prefishing to purchasing, downloading and updating maps.
