Garmin GPSMAP 86sc Marine Handheld GPS, BlueChart g3 U.S. Charts, 3 in Display, Floats

Overview

The Garmin 010-N2235-02 is a remanufactured GPSMAP 86sc handheld GPS with BlueChart g3 coastal charts for the U.S. preloaded. It floats, carries an IPX7 water rating, and uses a 3 in. color TFT display with 240 x 400 resolution for chart viewing at the dock or underway. Power comes from an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated up to 40 hours in standard mode and up to 200 hours in expedition mode.

When you pair it with compatible Garmin gear, the handheld can display real-time boat data from chartplotters and instruments and it can act as a remote for Garmin autopilots and select Fusion marine products. An adjustable GPS filter helps smooth speed and heading indications over swells, which is handy when you are trying to read steady numbers on a moving deck.

Charts and navigation management

This unit keeps coastal chart coverage on board without depending on cell service. It supports routes and track recording for repeat runs, fishing passes, and tender trips between anchorage and shore, with storage for up to 250 routes and a track log up to 20,000 points.

On longer trips, the 16 GB internal memory helps keep charts and saved data together, and a microSD card slot lets you add storage when you need it. The microSD card is not included, so plan on adding one if you like keeping lots of tracks, custom maps, or extra mapping on hand.

Connections and system integration

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ANT+ make it easier to keep the handheld connected for updates and pairing. When linked to a compatible smartphone, it can show smart notifications on the device, which is useful when your phone stays below or in a dry bag.

For wired connections, it supports high-speed USB and NMEA 0183 compatibility. That combination works well for moving data like waypoints and tracks, and for setups where NMEA 0183 is still part of the onboard electronics mix.

Fit and handling on board

The housing measures 2.65 x 7 x 1.7 in. and weighs 9.59 oz, so it fits comfortably in one hand or a jacket pocket. This is a solid match for boaters who want a handheld navigator that can back up the helm and also stay tied into a compatible Garmin system when the boat is running.

Charging and data transfer use a micro-USB connection, which keeps things simple when you are topping off power from a USB outlet on board. The included lanyard is worth using anytime you are moving around the cockpit, bow, or on a tender ride.

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.
