Overview

Floating marine handheld GPS with satellite SOS

The Garmin GPSMAP 86i is a floating, water-resistant handheld GPS built for boaters who need onboard system data and satellite messaging in one unit. It streams data from compatible Garmin chartplotters and instruments, runs the Fusion-Link audio remote, and holds up to 35 hours of battery life at 10 minute tracking intervals. Two-way messaging, interactive SOS and marine weather forecasts route over the 100% global Iridium satellite network and require an active satellite subscription.

35 hours of battery, 200 in power save

Runs up to 35 hours at 10 minute tracking intervals, or up to 200 hours in 30 minute power save tracking mode.

Boat data on a 3 inch display

Syncs with compatible Garmin chartplotters and instruments to show real-time boat data alongside a 240 x 400 pixel screen.

Built-in inReach satellite messaging

Two-way text messaging and interactive SOS to the Garmin IERCC run over the 100% global Iridium satellite network, with an active satellite subscription required.

Floats and rated IPX7

Water resistant to IPX7 and buoyant, so it stays functional and afloat if it goes over the side.
