The underlying announcement was published by Garmin on 8 July 2025, giving this development a clear primary-source date and provenance. LBG is recording the change separately from the manufacturer’s marketing material so the news record remains concise and traceable.
Marine equipment is increasingly integrated rather than fitted as a collection of isolated components. This announcement is relevant to LBG readers because it concerns the systems owners interact with directly on recreational craft.
The report sits within LBG’s continuing record of changes affecting leisure boats, their equipment and the businesses around them. The original Garmin material remains linked so readers can distinguish the verified announcement from later interpretation or secondary coverage.
Keeping the primary source attached also makes it possible to revisit the announcement when the next model year or product revision arrives. That is especially useful in a market where online specifications and dealer information can change quickly.
