    Serious sport fishermen, cruisers, sailors and sail racers demand serious equipment. The easy-to-use, easy-to-install GPSMAP 8612xsv chartplotter/sonar combo delivers MFD performance in a combo-size package. It features a 12” full HD IPS touchscreen display for wider viewing angles, superior clarity and sunlight readability, even with polarized sunglasses. Multiple displays can be flat mounted edge-to-edge to create a sleek glass helm look or can be mounted flush.Complete Sonar Support

    The GPSMAP 8612xsv chartplotter/sonar combo 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).

    Don't really care when scott is having lunch..... but I am really really interested if the new charting shows all the marine zones (QLD) in the correct shaded colours (IE green zones in green Yellow Zones in Yellow Pink Zones in Pink etc) or not??

    Furuno have it with C-Map - i want to stay with garmin but my next purchase will be determined by this.

    Do I still have this right? These manufacturers are asking us $2000USD for 4inches of extra screen? It’s the same technology and computing strength and features in the 12inch model as the 16 inch model just the screen is 4 inches bigger?

    We are getting taken for a ride.

    Not even 4 inches, unless it's changed recently the screen size is diagonally, a 7 inch is usually only 6 inches wide. Just another way they can screw us.

    i unfortunately don’t think it’s just us. Those price differences for screen size are still very large in the US as well. When it comes to technology can you think of anything with a 4in bigger screen costing 2 grand?
