Garmin GPSMAP 86i Handheld Marine GPS

The Garmin GPSMAP 86i Handheld Marine GPS is a premium navigation companion designed to keep you confident and connected on the water. Built with the outdoor capability of the GPSMAP 66 series and enhanced with marine-focused features, it offers reliable performance for cruising, sailing and offshore adventures.

Its floating, water-resistant design ensures it’s always ready for life on the water, giving you a dependable handheld that can withstand harsh marine conditions. With wireless connectivity to your onboard systems, the Garmin GPSMAP 86i Handheld Marine GPS brings essential boat data directly to your hand, allowing you to monitor key information effortlessly.

The Garmin GPSMAP 86i Handheld Marine GPS supports boat data streaming when synced with compatible Garmin chartplotters and instruments, giving you real-time insights while underway. It also offers remote control of select Fusion® audio systems for added convenience. An adjustable GPS filter helps provide smoother speed and heading readings when travelling over swells, improving your situational awareness. The built-in worldwide basemap offers shaded relief for oceans, seas, major lakes and rivers, along with political boundaries and time zone details. Optional BlueChart g3 charts can be added for enhanced coastal coverage featuring combined Garmin and Navionics data.

The Garmin GPSMAP 86i Handheld Marine GPS also serves as a capable remote for your onboard autopilot system, allowing you to change heading, follow a GPS route or manage pattern steering without being at the helm. ABC sensors — an altimeter, barometer and 3-axis electronic compass — provide even more navigational support, making the handheld a practical backup navigator for fishing, cruising and sailing. With inReach technology built in, you also maintain global communication, offering two-way messaging, trip tracking through MapShare and the security of interactive SOS alerts via the Iridium satellite network.

Beyond navigation and safety, the device keeps you seamlessly connected. Smart notifications appear directly on the handheld when paired with a compatible smartphone, and Garmin Explore integration makes it easy to manage waypoints, tracks and routes. With Wi-Fi, ANT+ and Bluetooth technologies, wireless updates and connections are simple and efficient.

A built-in LED flashlight provides an extra layer of utility, acting as a convenient light source or emergency beacon. The internal rechargeable battery offers up to 35 hours in 10-minute tracking mode and up to 200 hours in expedition mode, allowing you to stay out longer with confidence.
