Read MoreHide Full Article

Garmin (GRMN - Free Report) has been continuously putting efforts into strengthening its portfolio of marine offerings.

This is evident from its latest move of making select ECHOMAP and GPSMAP chart plotters compatible with Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchors.

More precisely, this functionality is available for chart plotters like GPSMAP 8600/8600xsv series, GPSMAP 10×2/12×2, GPSMAP 7×3/9×3/12×3, GPSMAP 7×2/9×2/12×2 Plus series, ECHOMAP Ultra, and ECHOMAP UHD 7- and 9-inch Touch series.

With the latest compatibility, anglers will be able to stow and deploy their Power-Poles directly from their chart plotter, which, in turn, will deliver more onboard control.

Further, the move has added strength to its chart plotter offerings.

With the help of the latest stereos and speakers, Garmin aims to provide an enhanced entertainment experience to boaters.

Apart from these, the company’s robust portfolio of radars, specially designed for marine lovers, is continuously helping it gain momentum among boaters and anglers.

We believe that the expanding marine solutions portfolio will drive growth in its marine segment.

Notably, the particular segment generated sales of $196.4 million in fourth-quarter 2021, which increased 14% year over year and accounted for 14% of total sales.
