Garmin and Fusion have announced they will again be exhibiting their extensive range of products at the Southampton International Boat Show in its 53rd year of running. Taking place from 16-25th of September at Mayflower Park, Southampton, visitors can experience the latest Garmin and Fusion products and deals, including the premium Signature 3i Fusion Speakers, quatix 7 smartwatches and more.

Visitors can get to grips with the newly introduced Garmin Navionics Plus cartography, which deliver all-in-one inland and coastal mapping, daily chart updates and premium content to compatible chartplotters. Offering a full suite of detail-rich mapping, Garmin Navonics Plus is an indispensable tool for mariners.

Newly launched, the premium Fusion Signature 3i Speakers expand and improve on the existing Fusion line-up. The updated range features stylish new colourways for an elegant fit on any boat. The Fusion stand will feature a full complement of audio products and visitors can test and receive support on integrating these systems onto their own boats.

The quatix 7 series of premium smart watches are designed for life on the water. The top-of-the-range Sapphire models add an always-on AMOLED display for sharper colour, clarity and brightness whilst maintaining top-end battery life. Also featuring coastal charts, autopilot control and key environmental data, quatix 7 is the perfect smartwatch for life on the ocean.

Also on display will be the LiveScope + and LiveScope XR. Featuring 35% target separation over previous systems, LiveScope + enhances the fishing experience with sharper resolution, reduced noise and Garmin’s clearest imagery to date. Alongside this, the ECHOMAPS UHD2 chartplotter series will also be available to demo. Featuring a sunlight readable display, physical buttons for ease of control and built in Wi-Fi alongside all-new hardware, these chartplotters offer everything a mariner could want for a successful outing on the water.

Garmin and Fusion will be at stands J386 and J377.

Engineered on the inside for life on the outside, Garmin products have revolutionised life for anglers, sailors, mariners and boat enthusiasts everywhere. Committed to developing the most innovative, highest quality, and easiest to use marine electronics the industry has ever known, Garmin believes every day is an opportunity to innovate and a chance to beat yesterday.
