It carries the same seven-times processing power jump as the display-equipped 9000-series units, along with up to ten times faster networking via the new gigabit-speed Garmin BlueNet, and integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ANT wireless technologies for over-the-air software updates through the ActiveCaptain app. Sonar support spans traditional CHIRP, the GSD 28 xCHIRP high-power sonar module, ClearVu/SideVu scanning sonar, and Panoptix PS70 or LiveScope XR live sonar. Beyond navigation and fishfinding it also handles engine performance data integration, autopilot control, camera connectivity including bird's-eye/surround view support, and audio/video integration across multiple connected displays - functioning as the central processing hub for a fully-featured networked helm rather than a single-screen chartplotter. A black-box architecture like this is typically chosen for a custom glass-helm build where the boatbuilder or installer wants full control over which physical monitors go into the dash, rather than being limited to Garmin's own fixed chartplotter screen sizes.
