Build your fully integrated marine system
With the GPSMAP 8700 black box, you can add and integrate multiple sonar technologies, as well as autopilot, connected services, apps, engine data and multimedia at your helm. You can also automatically sync your personal preferences and user data to all chartplotters on your network across multiple helms. Everything you need is right at your fingertips – on any touchscreen. With NMEA 2000 ® networking and Garmin Marine Network, you can easily build your complete marine electronics solution – from radar and autopilots to cameras, instruments and forward-looking sonar – controlled from the chartplotter and shared across multiple displays. In addition, our exclusive OneHelm ™ system can coordinate many third-party products built aboard ships to bring full control of systems – such as digital switching, lighting, stabilization and more – to your touchscreen
Pairing with our external GPS 24xd 10 Hz GPS
The GPSMAP 8700 black box can be paired with our GPS 24xd 10 Hz GPS receiver (sold separately), which updates position and heading 10 times per second. It shows smoother vessel movement and provides a significant improvement, allowing you to accurately mark and navigate to 5,000 waypoints.
