Garmin GPSMAP 86i – Floating Premium Handheld GPS with Satellite Communication
If you need a navigation device at sea that can truly do it all, the GPSMAP 86i is your answer: it floats, communicates globally via Iridium satellite, and displays live data from your Garmin marine electronics directly on the handheld device. The 3-inch color display is easy to read even in bright sunlight – exactly when it matters most.
Tip: For satellite communication functions – SOS emergency calls, SMS, and weather forecasts – a separate satellite subscription via Garmin is required. Subscription details can be found at www.garmin.com. Please complete the subscription before setting sail so you can take immediate action in an emergency.
