Overview
Garmin Marine – Advanced Navigation and Marine Electronics for Every Boat
Garmin Marine is a global leader in marine navigation and onboard electronics, delivering innovative solutions that enhance safety, performance, and user experience on the water. Designed for both recreational captains and professional operators, Garmin’s systems provide reliable, intuitive, and high‑precision data—even in the most demanding marine environments.
Powerful and Intuitive Marine Navigation Systems
At the heart of Garmin’s marine portfolio are the widely respected GPSMAP® chartplotters, known for fast processing, bright sunlight‑readable displays, and highly detailed Navionics and BlueChart® cartography. These devices integrate seamlessly with radar, sonar, autopilots, and engine data, allowing boat owners to unify all critical navigation information into a single, easy‑to‑use helm interface. Whether navigating coastal waters, offshore passages, or busy harbors, Garmin chartplotters help ensure safe and confident decision‑making at every stage of the journey.
High‑Definition Sonar Technologies
Garmin is also a leader in advanced marine sonar, offering CHIRP traditional sonar along with ClearVü™ and SideVü™ scanning technologies. These systems deliver incredibly detailed views beneath and around the vessel, supporting activities such as fishing, seabed assessment, and safe anchoring. By providing crisp underwater imagery and strong target separation, Garmin sonar helps captains operate with greater awareness and precision.
Fantom™ Solid-State Marine Radar
Garmin’s Fantom™ solid‑state radar enhances safety with long‑range detection and Doppler motion tracking. These radars detect nearby vessels, obstacles, and changing weather conditions—especially valuable during fog, rain, or nighttime navigation. Their intuitive display and fast refresh rates make Fantom radar a core component of a modern, safety‑focused helm.
Garmin & Volvo Penta – A Seamless Glass Cockpit Experience
One of the most significant advancements in modern marine systems is the close partnership between Garmin Marineand Volvo Penta, resulting in the highly acclaimed Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System.
This integrated solution merges Garmin’s sophisticated digital chartplotter technology with Volvo Penta’s Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) platform, bringing engine data, navigation tools, and vessel systems together in a single, intuitive display environment.
Available in display sizes up to 24 inches, the Glass Cockpit provides a unified view of charts, radar, sonar, autopilot, and engine information. Operators can customize layouts to suit docking, cruising, or offshore operation, making it easier to focus on what matters most in any situation.
Volvo Penta has expanded the system with the premium Glass Cockpit 9000 series, offering ultra‑bright 4K displays and response times up to seven times faster than earlier models. These next‑generation screens are designed for larger yachts and premium vessels, and they integrate seamlessly with features such as Assisted Docking, Joystick Driving, Interceptor trim systems, and Garmin Surround View 360° camera technology.
Together, Garmin and Volvo Penta deliver a clean, modern “glass bridge” experience—transforming the helm into a fully connected, highly capable command center.
Built for Durability and Long‑Term Reliability
Garmin Marine products are engineered for life at sea, with rugged construction, water‑resistant housings, and glare‑free optics. Continuous software updates and strong ecosystem compatibility ensure that Garmin systems remain reliable and up to date for years to come.
