If you’re fitting out a new boat, or doing a major update on your existing one, take a look at Garmin’s new GPSMAP 8400 and 8600 series multifunction displays. With touchscreen control and read-in-any-light display, they have the highest screen resolution in any marine MFD, according to Garmin, and deliver the fastest map drawing ever due to a new high-performance processor. They also have full HD switching to provide accurate colors, as seen from all viewing angles.

Garmin’s new MFDs come in 17-, 22- and 24-inch sizes, and start at $7,499.99. They can be networked via NMEA 2000 to show engine and genset data, and you can configure them to display data in multiple split-screen windows. You also can configure the full system to provide touchscreen access for docking, cruising, fishing or anchoring modes. And they create a state-of-the-art glass helm look, since you can install multiple displays either flush or flat mounted, edge to edge.

The MFDs come preloaded with BlueChart g2 charts and Garmin LakeVu HD maps.
