This is the 12-inch Axiom+ multifunction display from Raymarine, the display-only version with no charts included. A quad-core processor drives it, and the IPS screen is rated up to 1,800 nits. A 10 Hz GPS/GNSS receiver and built-in Wi-Fi are part of it, and it connects to other gear over Raynet Ethernet and NMEA2000. Surface and trunnion mounting kits and a power/data cable come in the box.

Our take

With no charts included, this 12-inch Axiom+ needs its charts added separately. The quad-core processor and a screen rated up to 1,800 nits are the hardware, and Raynet Ethernet and NMEA2000 let it tie into radar, autopilots and engine gauges.

From our buying guide

What's in the box depends on the part number: Raymarine sells one screen display only, with charts, with a transducer, or with both. Not every chart card fits every plotter, either.

Check before you buy:

  • The part number includes the charts and transducer you expect.
  • It reads the charts you want, and you know how long their updates last, since many come with a one-year subscription.
  • A touchscreen suits your helm, since Raymarine warns that prolonged rain or water wash can cause false touches.
