The November, 2017 Garmin Marine Software Update has added several advanced features.Enjoy Chart and Weather Layers Simplification with the new Layers menu. Now you can easily see which layers are enabled, while the Menu remains as a sidebar on your screen. This makes switching between layers and adding multiple layers quick and intuitive. New ‘On Screen Controls’ also allow for improved ease of use. No more searching for the controls for commonly adjusted items as they will now remain present on the screen. Create ‘Smart Boundaries’ and assign them with appropriate SmartModes. Your display will now switch to the appropriate screen when entering a Smart Boundary. Entering a docking area? Designate it at as a boundary and your screen will instantly switch to a Docking screen as soon as your vessel enters the territory you assigned. FLIR Camera Support is another new and exciting feature enabled with the November software update. All next generation M-series models and new digital models are now supported with continuous zoom support and gyro stabilization control. Need to give your MFD a rest? Expanded Sleep Mode will enable the user to turn off the backlight and sonar transmissions and can also place a networked autopilot into standby. This feature will not work if a networked unit is requiring sonar from that unit. As you can see, Garmin is continually developing new ways to support and improve their existing product line. Software updates are quick, simple and free of charge.

Whether you are looking for a second display to add to your network, or a chartplotter to start your Garmin marine network system the GPSMAP 7607 is certainly an option to consider.
