Garmin offers new display screen for its autopilot series

Garmin says its new GHC 50, a bright five-inch touchscreen autopilot display, will allow easier control and readability of its autopilots (specifically GHP Reactor).

“We’re excited to continue to enhance the tried-and-trusted Reactor autopilot series with a modern display that helps makes navigation simple and hassle free,” says Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Designed for both powerboats and sailboats, the GHC 50 compliments any Garmin glass helm with its larger, more vibrant display that’s easy to see day or night.”

With an anti-glare display, Garmin says the GHC 50 makes configuring and controlling the autopilot hassle free. Seemingly, it communicates with any Garmin Reactor autopilot system via NMEA 2000, so autopilot heading data can be shared easily with other devices. Users can even control the GHC 50 wirelessly using select Quatix marine smartwatches, the Garmin autopilot remote or the GRID 20 remote.
