Garmin GPSMAP 86sci Handheld GPS, inReach Satellite Communication, BlueChart g3 U.S. Coastal Charts, IPX7, Floating

Overview

The Garmin 010-N2236-02 is a GPSMAP 86sci marine handheld that combines a 3-inch color display with inReach satellite messaging and preloaded BlueChart g3 coastal charts for the U.S.

It is waterproof to IPX7 and it floats, so it makes sense for open-cockpit use, a dinghy run to shore, or as a grab-and-go backup navigator. Battery runtime is up to 35 hours in 10-minute tracking mode, or up to 200 hours in expedition mode on the internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

On boats with compatible Garmin electronics, it can show streamed boat data and it can act as a remote for compatible Garmin autopilots and select Fusion marine products, which is handy when you want information or control away from the helm display.

Key features

• 3-inch transflective TFT color display (240 x 400) with button-based operation
• Preloaded BlueChart g3 coastal charts for the U.S., plus a worldwide basemap
• inReach two-way messaging, tracking, and interactive SOS through the Iridium satellite network (satellite subscription required)
• IPX7 water rating and a buoyant housing that floats if it goes overboard
• Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi, BLUETOOTH, and ANT+ for updates, syncing, and compatible accessories
• ABC sensors including a barometric altimeter and a tilt-compensated 3-axis electronic compass
• Physical size 2.65 x 7 x 1.7 inches; weight 9.59 oz (272 g)
• NMEA 0183 compatible interface for basic marine data sharing with compatible systems

Installation and setup

The powered mount is the clean way to keep it charged at the helm while still being able to pull the unit off the cradle in seconds. Route power so it is protected and supported for vibration, and keep connectors out of direct spray where possible.

For consistent satellite reception, avoid tucking the unit behind metal window frames or inside enclosed consoles when you are underway. If you plan to rely on inReach features, set up the service plan and run a quick message and tracking check before the next departure.

Navigation and charts

With BlueChart g3 U.S. coastal coverage onboard, you can reference marine chart detail without being tied to the main display. The adjustable GPS filter helps smooth speed and heading indications when the boat is moving through swell.

Connectivity and onboard integration

When paired with compatible Garmin chartplotters and instruments, the handheld can display key boat data so you can keep an eye on information from the cockpit or foredeck. Remote control support for compatible Garmin autopilots and select Fusion stereos adds useful control when you are not standing at the helm.

Use on board

This handheld suits skippers who want a backup navigator that can move between boats, anglers who run a tender away from the mothership, and crews who want two-way satellite messaging in a unit that lives in a ditch bag or daypack.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
