Designed for captains who demand the best, the GPSMAP 9227
delivers superior design and performance as the marine market's
largest chartplotter with 4K
resolution. Utilizing Garmin's new BlueNet gigabit network,
mariners can link the GPSMAP 9227 with multiple chartplotters,
cameras, radars and more at 10 times faster networking speeds than
the previous generation. As the command center of the boat, it

offers the ultimate connected boating experience.
"The GPSMAP 9227 is a quantum leap forward for marine

on its large display means more information at the operators'
fingertips. Plus, dramatically faster processors and gigabit
