Imagine piloting your vessel with effortless precision, keeping your eyes on the horizon while intuitively managing your chartplotter from anywhere at the helm. The Garmin GRID remote input device transforms how you interact with your GPSMAP series chartplotters, delivering responsive rotary knob and joystick controls that glide through menus, zoom charts, and switch between multiple displays seamlessly. Whether you're racing offshore, cruising coastal waters, or managing a multi-station setup, this compact controller puts full command at your fingertips—or integrated right into your captain's chair for a sleek, unobtrusive setup.
Designed for the demands of marine environments, the GRID stands out by enabling single-device control over one or several compatible monitors and multifunctional displays (MFDs). No more stretching to touchscreens or fumbling with buttons; it's built to enhance focus, safety, and efficiency on the water.
In high-stakes scenarios like competitive sailing or long-haul voyages, split-second navigation decisions matter. The GRID's ergonomic design minimizes distractions, allowing captains to adjust waypoints, toggle radar overlays, or pan sonar views without averting their gaze from critical tasks. Its low-profile integration into custom helm chairs creates a professional-grade interface that rivals fly-by-wire systems in aviation—tailored for the sea.
The tactile rotary knob and joystick provide feedback-rich operation, making complex chartplotter functions feel instinctive—even in rough seas or gloved hands.
Fully gasketed high-impact plastic housing withstands submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes (IPX7 rated), thriving in temperatures from -15°C to 70°C (-5°F to 158°F).
Compatible with GPSMAP series chartplotters, it connects via standard network cabling for plug-and-play setup across stations.
Compass-safe at just 14 inches (356 mm), it won't interfere with your vessel's magnetic instruments.

Setting up the GRID is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts or professional installers. Mount it surface-style or recess it into furniture using included hardware. Connect the power cable to your 12-24V system, link the 6-foot network cable to your chartplotter's Garmin Marine Network port, and power on—your remote control is ready. For chair integration, custom-cut a panel to match the GRID's footprint, securing it with provided screws for a factory-fresh look. Always ensure proper grounding and cable routing to avoid interference in wet environments.
Pro Tip: Position the GRID within arm's reach of the primary steering station to maximize its hands-on benefits, and test multi-MFD syncing before your next outing.
