This is the 12 inch Raymarine Axiom+ RealVision 3D chartplotter and sonar display. The screen is a 12.1 inch high density IPS panel at 1280 x 800, and it is rated for up to 1,800 nits. This version comes with no charts and no RV-100 transducer. Sonar is built in: a 600W digital unit running at 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Built-in Wi-Fi lets a phone or tablet stream and control the display. Power draw is listed as 15.48 Watts, or 19.96 Watts for the RV sonar version.

Our take

Rated up to 1,800 nits on a 12.1 inch IPS panel, this display is made to stay readable in bright light, and the 600W sonar at 50 kHz and 200 kHz is built in. The RV-100 transducer and charts are not included.

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.
