Full System Integration
GPSMAP 8424 integrates various sonar technologies as well as autopilot, connectivity, apps, engine data and multi-media. User data can be automatically synced for all networked 8400/8600 series chartplotters across multiple helms — everything you need is at your fingertips, all on 1 screen. A full digital switching system uses CZone technology. You can power up your boat while away from the dock, switch on pumps and control lights — even underwater lights. Nearly all of your controls are available right at your fingertips either at the helm or programmed into a remote key fob or an app on your tablet provided by CZone by Mastervolt.

New High-performance Processor
Experience the fluidity of our fastest map drawing ever and enhanced video processing. Add up to 4 IP camera streams and simultaneous Garmin Helm™ support. In addition, all your added sensors, such as radar, sonar, multimedia and more, will benefit from the increased performance to provide a premium experience across your boat’s entire network.

Customize Layouts with SmartMode™ Control
To make boating easier, GPSMAP 8424 includes presets for sonar, radar, cameras, media and digital switching, which can be independent or incorporated into SmartMode. With SmartMode control, you can quickly change all screens at a helm in sync to a preset mode, for example, fishing, docking, night cruising, etc. One-touch access allows you to switch all monitors in sync from 1 mode to another without manually switching each monitor separately. Fully customizable layouts, data and gauges allow you to place the information you need to see right where you want it.

Garmin Marine Network and NMEA 2000® Network Support
Full-network compatibility allows you to add more to your boat. GPSMAP 8424 supports radar, autopilot, instruments, multiple screens, FUSION-Link™ entertainment system, sensors, remote sonar modules, digital switching, weather, thermal cameras, GRID™ remote device and more. It’s also FLIR camera compatible and provides SiriusXM support.

View Multiple Sonar Sources Simultaneously
GSD™ 26 CHIRP professional sonar, GSD 24 advanced sonar, and GCV™ 10 or GSD 25 ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonar, even Garmin Panoptix™ all-seeing sonar, can exist on the same system. You can view various sonars together on 1 monitor or across multiple monitors in multi-display systems.

Add Array or Dome Radar
You can add your choice of Garmin marine radar, including our powerful xHD2 open-array radars, GMR Fantom™ open-array radars with MotionScope™ technology or xHD dome radars that pair ease of use with advanced open-array features.

You can also share images from Garmin VIRB® action cameras, GC™ 10 marine cameras and FLIR cameras. User data entered into 1 chartplotter can be automatically synced with other chartplotters in a network.

Heading, Position Refreshed 10 Times per Second
Fast, responsive built-in 10 Hz GPS refreshes your position and heading 10 times each second to make your movement on the screen more fluid. Now, it’s quick and easy to drop up to 5,000 accurate waypoints and find your way back to them.

Create Your Own HD Maps
Quickdraw Contours is a free, easy-to-use software feature that is already installed on your GPSMAP 8424. It instantly creates your very own personalized HD fishing maps with 1-foot contours. Tailor them to fit your needs. They are your maps. You own them. Keep the data to yourself or share it with Garmin or your friends. There’s no special surveying expertise required. You just fish while it creates maps. You don’t have to wait around or send your files away like other mapping software requires — your results appear instantly. Use with any Garmin Panoptix, any HD-ID™, any CHIRP-enabled, Garmin ClearVü™ transducer or NMEA 2000-compatible depth transducer. Have more than 1 sonar device installed onboard? Quickdraw Contours automatically selects the most capable sonar device to provide the very best results for you!

Upgrade to Our Best Maps on the Water
Add a Garmin Card Reader that provides convenient remote mounting and a single access point for 2 SD™ card slots for accessory map purchases such as BlueChart g2 HD or BlueChart® g2 Vision® HD, which add Garmin-patented Auto Guidance 3.0 and other great features. You can add multiple card readers for additional access points. Waterproof magnetic door allows card reader to be mounted horizontally or vertically (sold separately).

FUSION-Link Entertainment System
Enjoy the ability to control all compatible FUSION-Link-enabled audio systems directly from your compatible chartplotter display.

Built-in Connectivity
It’s easy to connect to peripheral devices with built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity, ANT® technology, 4 wired Ethernet ports, NMEA 2000, HDMI and USB ports with complete network compatibility. It’s easier than ever to enjoy the full range of features provided by Garmin Helm and BlueChart® Mobile apps.

View, Control Your Device from a Smartphone or Tablet
Garmin Helm allows you to view and control your compatible chartplotter from a compatible smartphone or tablet while providing enhanced situational awareness for the mariner. Easily switch between portrait and landscape modes to accommodate mounting preferences. When using an iPhone® or iPad®, you can even record a movie of your chartplotter screen to share with friends and family.

Get Onboard with BlueChart Mobile
With BlueChart Mobile 2.0, a free app downloaded from the App Store™, you can get reliable weather information while you plan marine routes on your iPad or iPhone then wirelessly transfer them to your boat’s compatible networked Garmin chartplotter. Continue to acquire current weather information from your cellular-based Apple® device, and stream that data onto your chartplotter screen. Even if you don’t have a Garmin chartplotter, you can still take advantage of the tremendous features of BlueChart Mobile on your compatible Apple device.

Multiple Depth Range Shading
Designate up to 10 different depth ranges each with its own color. Makes it easier to view target depths at a glance.

Commission Autopilot from Chartplotter
To make commissioning easier and more convenient, you can handle the entire autopilot commissioning process from your chartplotter screen.

Axis Camera Support
Garmin offers support for select Axis cameras, which can be used for surveillance and situational awareness on vessels of any size. Our integration allows you to view video on every screen on your boat and, if you wish, view multiple streams on the same screen. You can control your camera’s pinch-to-zoom and pan/tilt settings with gestures directly on the plotter screen. Use an Axis encoder to convert analog camera, such as Garmin GC 10, to video over IP.
