Overview

The Garmin 010-10231-01 is a deluxe carrying case for storing and transporting a compatible Garmin GPS unit along with the accessories you actually bring on the boat. It has room for a GPS, a mounting bracket, cables, batteries, and data cards, plus a dedicated storage area for extra data cartridges.

The case measures 4.75 in high x 7.75 in wide x 4.25 in deep (12.0 x 19.7 x 10.8 cm), which makes it easy to stow in a nav station drawer, a center console, or a dry locker while keeping everything together and protected from scratches and scuffs during travel.

Key features

• Internal capacity for a GPS unit with space reserved for a mounting bracket, cables, batteries, and data cards
• Separate storage area for extra data cartridges so chart or data media does not get mixed in with loose gear
• Listed compatibility includes Garmin StreetPilot units and GPSMAP 176 GPS systems
• Helps reduce scratches and scrapes when the GPS is carried between the dock, vehicle, and boat
• Compact external size: 4.75 in (12.0 cm) high x 7.75 in (19.7 cm) wide x 4.25 in (10.8 cm) deep

Compatibility and fit

This case is commonly paired with Garmin StreetPilot units and GPSMAP 176 GPS systems, and it is intended to carry the GPS with the mounting bracket and typical spares. If you are using a different Garmin model, compare the device size and the accessories you plan to store so the case closes comfortably without forcing it.

Use on board

It is a good match for boaters who pull a portable GPS off the helm at the end of the day, move it between boats, or keep navigation gear packed for a tender ride or a travel day. Keeping the bracket, cables, batteries, and data media in one case also helps when you are troubleshooting at anchor and do not want parts scattered around the cockpit or cabin.

Maintenance and care

After a salty run, wipe the outside down and let the case air out before long-term storage, especially if you stowed damp cables or batteries inside. Avoid putting the case away with wet gear so moisture does not stay trapped around contacts and cards.
