The underlying announcement was published by Garmin on 12 June 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.
Equipment changes can have an immediate effect on how a small leisure boat is operated, upgraded or used day to day. The significance here is therefore practical as well as technical, especially for owners planning new installations or refits.
LBG is recording this as a current equipment development, not as an endorsement or a substitute for the maker’s detailed documentation. Owners and buyers should use the official source for final technical, regional and commercial details.
The official source is retained with this article for transparency and future verification. Leisure Boat Guide will continue to track material changes that affect small leisure craft, onboard systems and the companies supporting them.
