Garmin Marine Network and NMEA 2000

By connecting the GPSMAP 7408 to the Garmin Marine Network, it is possible to view on the display the data processed by the on-board instruments such as radar, autopilots, depth sounder modules, multimedia devices (FUSION-Link), thermal imaging cameras, GRIDs and much more. The GPSMAP 7408 also lets you share information with other compatible GPSMAP units, such as maps and user data, including waypoints, routes and tracks. This means that user data entered into the GPSMAP 7408 can automatically synchronize with other chartplotters on the network.

Direction and position updated 10 times per second

The GPSMAP 7408 is equipped with a high-sensitivity 10Hz GPS receiver capable of simultaneously locating GNSS, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS satellite systems thus providing accurate position data within 3 m. The integrated 10 Hz GPS receiver updates the position and direction 10 times per second, this guarantees a more fluid display of the boat's movements, guaranteeing enormous advantages even at very low speeds.

gWind™ transducers and sail functions

The new Garmin gWind transducers have a double direction vane and a front-reading anemometer to provide maximum precision in any wind condition. They connect to the Garmin Marine Network via NMEA 2000 protocol and are compatible with the GPSMAP 7408 via the GND™ 10 black box. Supported sailing functions include lay lines, compass rose, COG and HDG vector display, as well as data fields of real and apparent wind.

Auto Guidance 3.0

Auto Guidance technology automatically calculates the safest and most reliable route to reach your destination. The Auto Guidance function, using the cartographic data, automatically works out the best route and avoids any obstacles along the way. From today, this Garmin-exclusive feature offers even more functionality and features in version 3.0. With Auto Guidance 3.0 you have the possibility to modify a route, review the most dangerous points, view the estimated navigation times at any point of the suggested route; save planned routes. Auto Guidance 3.0 is included in BlueChart® g2 Vision cartography

SOS safety assist

The unique SOS safety assist function makes it easier for anyone - even those unfamiliar with on-board electronics - to quickly call for help in an emergency situation. By simply touching the SOS key on the plotter's touchscreen display, a list of possible situations is immediately displayed (fire on board, Man Overboard, etc.). Once an option has been selected, the display, if connected to the VHF with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) function, will send a distress call to the Coast Guard, indicating the GPS coordinates of the boat and all the essential and necessary information to request timely assistance .

Transfer of waypoints in GPX format

If you have waypoints, tracks or routes stored on another manufacturer's GPS or an old Garmin GPS, it's now easier than ever to import them to your new Garmin plotter, using the data in GPX format. The GPX format is an open standard medium for exchanging GPS data between different platforms and applications. With this evolution, you are guaranteed that all important data stored on an old instrument is preserved and transferred to your new Garmin device
