"For decades, mariners have been relying on Garmin's GPSMAPs
to help them navigate waters all over the world. Building on that
success, we're thrilled to unveil the 9000 series with bigger,

Premium design and processing power
The 4K resolution GPSMAP 9000
series delivers a seamless and luxurious modern look with a
maximized glass design. Available in 19", 22", 24" or 27" displays,
the industry's largest integrated touchscreen chartplotter size,
each MFD can be flat or flush mounted to create a stunning glass
helm. For superior clarity and sunlight readability, these in-plane
switching (IPS) touchscreen displays provide consistent, accurate
colors that can be seen from all viewing angles, even with
polarized sunglasses. And for the first time, anglers can see fish
and sonar targets in stunning 4K high
definition, too, by adding a Garmin GSD™ sonar module,
Panoptix™ transducer or LiveScope™ sonar
(transducers sold separately).
Offering seven times the processing power of the previous
generations, the GPSMAP 9000 is quick and responsive and delivers
Garmin's fastest map drawing and Auto Guidance+™
routing1. This premium processing power significantly
benefits all onboard sensors like sonar, radar, cameras, video and
digital switching, and enhances the user experience across the
entire network.
Enhanced networking and connectivity
Utilizing Garmin's new BlueNet gigabit network, mariners can
link the GPSMAP 9000 series with multiple chartplotters, cameras,
radars, sonars and more at 10 times faster networking speeds.
Powered by BlueNet, the GPSMAP 9000 series offers enhanced
multimedia streaming and seamless video integration, so onboard
entertainment has never looked better. Users can even play and hear
the same video throughout multiple screens and speakers on the
network thanks to HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection)
distribution. The 9000 series can also connect to compatible
existing Garmin marine systems, including other GPSMAP
chartplotters2, radars, autopilots, sensors and more via
NMEA® 2000 and NMEA® 0183 networks, and
built-in Wi-Fi® enables reliable wireless software
updates via the ActiveCaptain® app with a compatible
smartphone or tablet.
Innovative integration
As the command center of the boat, the GPSMAP 9000 series offers
easy and expansive integration capabilities with onboard systems,
including:
- Engine monitoring lets captains keep tabs on engine data
performance like rpm, speed, fuel flow, temperature, exceedance
warnings and more.
- OneHelm™ integrated digital switching
offers full support for the EmpirBus™ system and other
third-party monitoring, control and automation solutions.
- Listen to music, enjoy a movie and get audio alerts with
Fusion® audio and entertainment integration.
- Control and see footage directly on the chartplotter with
extensive camera support; even get a live 360-degree bird's-eye
view of the vessel during low-speed maneuvers such as docking in a
tight spot with Garmin's Surround View Camera System (sold
separately).
- Connect a GPSMAP 9000 chartplotter with a compatible Garmin
smartwatch for remote control of key MFD features including
chart zoom, autopilot control and more, directly from the
wrist.
- Use voice commands to control the chartplotter through a
compatible headset (not included).
- OEMs can customize the homepage layout and splash screen for a
unique, branded look.
