Garmin GPSMAP 8617 17" Chartplotter w/ US and Canada GN+
The GPSMAP® 8617 chart plotter 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. See RPMs, fuel flow, temperature, trim and more for up to four of your compatible Mercury® engines by using the SmartCraft® Connect gateway.
