Similar
in styling and function to the GPSMAP 292C, the 298C 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
298C is loaded with smart navigation features. It's 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).
