The Garmin GPSMAP 8416 is the flagship model in the 84 series – a large 16" Full HD IPS touch chartplotter for boat owners, sailors, and anglers who want maximum screen space, high resolution, and full system integration at the helm. The large 15.6" IPS display (1920 × 1080 px) provides sharp graphics, wide viewing angles, and perfect readability in sunlight – even with polarized sunglasses.
The GPSMAP 8416 comes with a worldwide basemap and supports both Garmin Navionics+™ and Garmin Navionics Vision+™, BlueChart g3, and LakeVü g3, allowing you to customize your mapping solution for coastal cruising, lakes, depth charts, and Auto Guidance+™ (via compatible cards). The built-in GNSS receiver updates position and heading at 10 Hz, providing fluid and precise display of the boat's movement.
As the central unit in your marine system, the GPSMAP 8416 can be connected via Garmin Marine Network, NMEA 2000®, NMEA 0183, and J1939. This allows you to integrate radar, autopilot, AIS, VHF, Fusion-Link™ audio system, engines, digital switching (OneHelm™), IP cameras, and much more, consolidating control and oversight onto one large screen.
The 8416 model itself does not have built-in traditional sonar, ClearVü, or SideVü, but supports sonar via an external GSD™/GCV™ black box and can simultaneously connect to Panoptix™ and LiveScope™ real-time sonar (transducers and black box sold separately). This makes it an ideal primary navigation display in larger installations where sonar and radar are handled by separate modules on the network.
With Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, and ANT®, you can connect to the ActiveCaptain® app, wireless sensors, quatix® marine watches, gWind™ Wireless 2 transducers, GNX™ instruments, and wireless remote controls. SmartMode™ station layouts allow you to switch your entire screen setup (e.g., docking, navigation, fishing, racing) with one touch – ideal for single-handed sailing or high-pressure situations like harbor maneuvers.
The result is a large, professional 16" chartplotter for boat owners who want maximum screen area, flexible mounting, robust network integration, and full control over their entire boat system from one elegant helm solution.
