Garmin 86i Key Features:
Designed for Marine Environments
The Garmin 86i GPS handheld has water resistance and floating technology. Additionally, this tracking device can become a remote control for convenient operation of your Garmin autopilot and select FUSION® marine products
Display
The sunlight-readable 3" display and button operation provide ease of use on the water.
Tracking
The GPSMAP 86i has live location tracking so every time minutes your location is sent to your MapShare page, for your friends and family to follow your trip. Additionally, those with access to your MapShare page can ping you and send messages to your device, in near real time. The tracking setting can be customised, decreasing the tracking interval will conserve the battery life of your tracker.
Interactive SOS button
The SOS button, located on the right-hand side of the Garmin 86i tracker, enables you to trigger an emergency SOS signal to the International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC), a 24/7 emergency monitoring and response centre.
Navigation
TOPO maps are preloaded with the Garmin 86i tracker, as well as the ability to download high-resolution BirdsEye aerial imagery directly to the device using the built-in Wi-Fi. These navigation capabilities allow you to calculate precise road and trail routes, as well as leave a breadcrumb trail (which would allow you to safely navigate back the way you came). Use the Garmin Explore website and app as a companion to help you manage waypoints, routes and activities, review trip data from the field, and sync info across devices.
Stream Boat Data
The new Garmin satellite communicator enables users to stream boat data from compatible chartplotters* and instruments to consolidate your marine system information.
inReach Technology
The Garmin 86i tracking device uses inReach satellite communication technology to enable two-way text messaging via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network (satellite subscription required). You can also receive marine weather forecasts directly on your device, so you can make educated decisions based on local conditions or the destination ahead.
Connect with your boat
Sync GPSMAP® 86i with compatible Garmin chartplotters* and instruments and you’ll see real-time boat data displayed right on your handheld. Plus, it can serve as a remote control for convenient operation of your Garmin autopilot and select FUSION marine products. When you’re underway, an adjustable GPS filter smooths speed and heading indications over swells for more accurate tracking.
Stay in Touch
Get smart notifications right on your GPSMAP® 86i handheld when you pair it with your compatible smartphone. You can also sync GPSMAP® 86i with the Garmin Explore™ portal and app for cloud management of your favourite waypoints, tracks and routes. GPSMAP® 86i offers Wi-Fi® connectivity, ANT+® technology and Bluetooth® wireless technology for easy wireless updates and connections.
