Manufacturer Description |
Similar in styling and function to the GPSMAP 292C, the 298C Sounder combines vivid color chartplotting with a powerful dual-frequency sounder (sold separately) 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. The unit’s big 5-inch display offers split-screen capability, so you can view both map and sounder information simultaneously.
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).

Wow, the manufacturers could learn a few things from GPS City! Thoroughly enjoyed the extensive video tutorials and comparisons. I really hope I am as happy with this product as I am with the buying experience at GPS City!
