Raymarine's Axiom+ RV in the 7 inch size, with LightHouse charts for North America. The 7.0 inch IPS display is 1024 x 600, and the unit has built-in 600W digital sonar at 50 kHz and 200 kHz, plus Wi-Fi and Raynet Ethernet and NMEA2000 networking. Power draw at full brightness is 7.34 Watts, rising to 9.84 Watts for the RV sonar version. This version does not include the RV-100 transducer.

Our take

Its 7.0 inch IPS screen runs at 1024 x 600, and the Raynet Ethernet and NMEA2000 networking lets it join other Axiom displays and instruments on the boat. The RV-100 transducer is not included in this version.

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.
