Faster, Sharper, Smarter
With its added processing power and new slimline design featuring edge-to-edge glass and a smaller unit footprint, it’s easy to retrofit this plotter in a wider range of dash configurations
Improved Display Optics
New higher-resolution IPS displays for 9” and 12” plotters offer improved sunlight readability and visibility from any angle, with 50% more pixels than previous-generation 9” GPSMAP devices.
