The Garmin GPSMAP® 86s is an advanced, handheld marine GPS designed for sailors, anglers, racers, and cruisers who want maximum safety, functionality, and reliability on board. It combines precise navigation, boat integration, and a marine-rugged design—ready for all conditions on the water.
The device is IPX7 water-rated, built to MIL-STD-810 standards, and is designed to float if dropped in the water. The large 3" color display is easy to read even in bright sunlight, and with up to 40 hours of battery life in tracking mode (and up to 200 hours in expedition mode), you can confidently stay on the water longer.
GPSMAP® 86s can sync wirelessly with Garmin chartplotters and instruments, allowing you to view live boat data on the device. You can also control the autopilot and compatible Fusion® audio systems, providing unique flexibility as you move around the boat. Multi-satellite support via GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo ensures stable and precise positioning under all conditions.
With ABC sensors (altimeter, barometer, 3-axis compass), you get full navigation control—on the water, in harbors, or on land. The GPSMAP® 86s also supports BlueChart® g3 charts (sold separately) for detailed marine navigation with Garmin + Navionics® data. Smart notifications, Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, and ANT+® make it modern, practical, and fully integrable with your other Garmin equipment.
