Similar in styling and function to the GPSMAP 292, the 298 Sounder combines vivid color chartplotting with a powerful dual-frequency sounder in one space-saving, multipurpose unit. Compatible with the latest BlueChart® G2 series marine cartography — and featuring an enhanced worldwide basemap that depicts shorelines, roads and surface features in richer detail — the GPSMAP 292 is loaded with smart navigation features. Its big 5-inch display offers split-screen capability, so you can view both map and sounder information simultaneously. And with 500 watts of power (RMS), plus Garmin’s exclusive See-Thru® fish targeting technology, the built-in 50/200 kHz sonar paints a clear and accurate picture of everything worth watching under your boat.
A UK version of the GPSMAP 298 comes pre-loaded with UK and Ireland BlueChart g2 marine map detail. An Australian and New Zealand version also comes pre-loaded with BlueChart g2 marine map detail for that region.
GPSMAP 298 is enabled with Garmin’s
new CANet™ — a one-megabit Controller Area Network that allows users to connect two chartplotters and a GSD 21 or GSD 22 (Garmin’s new black-box sonar devices).
