GPSMAP® 1623 - skjáritill 16"

For a flush-mount installation, the mounting template provided with the product must be used. If you need to print a template, ensure it is printed at 100% scale and verify the dimensions with a ruler.

The cut-out dimensions for the GPSMAP 1623 are 234 mm (9 3/16 in) in height by 375 mm (14 3/4 in) in width. It is recommended to cut along the inside of the template line.

For mounting holes, allow a pilot hole of 3.2 mm (1/8 in) for wood screws, or a 6 mm (1/4 in) hole for a mounting bracket. If no bracket is used, it is possible to tap for M4 screws.

Yes, to connect standard Ethernet devices, such as a network camera, a network switch, or a PoE injector, to a Garmin marine network, a Garmin Power over Ethernet (PoE) isolation coupler (part number 010-10580-10) is required. Connecting a PoE device directly to a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter will damage the chartplotter and potentially the PoE device.

It is also recommended to use a shielded cable, such as a CAT 5e F/FTP, for better protection of your equipment.

The GPSMAP 1623 offers extended video integration capabilities, enabling superior monitoring of your boat. You can view video on all chartplotter displays on your boat or display multiple video streams on a single combined screen.

It supports integration of:

Network cameras: using a Garmin PoE isolation coupler (010-10580-10).Composite video cameras: current GPSMAP chartplotters (except for some older series) feature an integrated video encoder that shares connected video via their composite video input across all chartplotter displays.

Touch gestures can be used to control the camera from the chartplotter, such as pinch to zoom and swipe to pan and tilt the camera. You can also customize the chartplotter to store on-screen presets for each camera, such as position and zoom data.

Yes, the GPSMAP 1623 is compatible with FLIR thermal cameras. FLIR marine cameras provide thermal imaging and can optionally offer low-light camera output.

When you connect a FLIR camera to your compatible chartplotter, the network automatically detects the camera and displays it in the source list without requiring pre-configuration before installation.

Note that FLIR cameras in the MD series provide only thermal views, while FLIR cameras in the dual-payload M series can switch between thermal and visible views.

When the GPSMAP 1623 is connected to the appropriate cameras and sensors, it supports several camera tracking features:

Compass Lock: to keep the camera fixed on a compass heading.Vessel Lock: to lock the camera at a fixed angle relative to the vessel.Slew-to-cue: to track AIS targets, MARPA or waypoints.To use these functions, you must connect a compatible marine camera with tracking capability (such as a newer model FLIR IP video camera), a GPS antenna, and a heading sensor (ideally a 9-axis sensor for optimal performance) to the Garmin marine network or NMEA 2000. For AIS and MARPA tracking, a compatible AIS receiver and a compatible radar device are also required.

For optimal network performance, Garmin recommends not streaming more than five video sources simultaneously on the Garmin marine network.

The GPSMAP 1623 can be configured to display multiple videos at once on combined displays. However, on devices with multiple composite video inputs, only one video function within a combined display can use an integrated video input.

The Garmin GPSMAP 1623, as a non-aviation product, is warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. During this period, Garmin will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, any defective component under normal use, free of charge to the customer for parts or labor. The customer is responsible for shipping costs.

The limited warranty of the GPSMAP 1623 does not apply in several situations, including:

Aesthetic damage, such as scratches, nicks, and dents.Consumable parts, like batteries, unless the damage to the product is due to a defect in materials or manufacturing.Damage caused by an accident, abuse, misuse, water, flooding, fire, or other natural disasters or external causes.Damage caused by service performed by anyone other than a Garmin-authorized service provider.Damage caused by modifying the product without Garmin’s written authorization.It is important to refer to the printed manual provided with the product for all warranty conditions and exclusions in detail.

For flush-mount installation of the GPSMAP 1623, the mounting template specifies a cutout of 375 mm (14 3/4 inches) wide by 234 mm (9 1/16 inches) high. It is essential to adhere to these dimensions for a proper fit.

Yes, the GPSMAP 1623 is supplied with its mounting template. It is strongly recommended to use the template provided in the product box rather than printing your own, to ensure precise dimensions for cutting.

To connect standard Ethernet equipment to a Garmin marine network, use a shielded cable, such as CAT 5e F/FTP. This cable type provides the best protection for your equipment and ensures optimal network performance.

The GPSMAP 1623 is designed for extended video integration and is compatible with network cameras and composite video cameras. It supports integration of third-party cameras, including FLIR cameras from the M and MD series. FLIR IP cameras are automatically detected by the Garmin marine network without prior configuration.

Yes, a Garmin Power over Ethernet (PoE) isolation coupler (part number 010-10580-10) is required to connect any standard Ethernet device (such as a network camera, network switch, or PoE injector) to a Garmin marine network. Connecting a PoE device directly to a Garmin chartplotter will damage the chartplotter.

The GPSMAP 1623 offers extended video integration capabilities. It allows you to display video from network and composite cameras on all chartplotter screens aboard. You can also display multiple video streams simultaneously on a single combined screen. Current GPSMAP chartplotters feature an integrated video encoder to share connected video streams via their composite video input across the entire network.

To ensure optimal performance of the network, Garmin recommends not displaying more than five video sources simultaneously on the marine network.

You can control compatible cameras directly from the touchscreen of your GPSMAP 1623 chartplotter. This includes using touch gestures to zoom, pan, and tilt the camera. It is also possible to customize your chartplotter to store presets, such as camera position and zoom data, for each camera.

The Camera Tracking function allows the GPSMAP 1623 to automatically control the direction of certain cameras. It offers several modes:

Compass Lock: keeps the camera fixed on a heading.Vessel Lock: locks the camera at a fixed angle relative to your vessel.Slew-to-cue: enables tracking of AIS targets, MARPA targets, or waypoints.

To use the camera tracking function, you must connect specific equipment to the Garmin Marine or NMEA 2000 network:

A marine camera compatible with tracking (e.g., a newer FLIR IP video camera).A GPS antenna.A heading sensor (a 9-axis sensor is recommended for better performance).For AIS target tracking, a compatible AIS receiver is also required. For MARPA tracking, a compatible radar device is necessary.

On FLIR dual-payload camera models, the video output cables are typically labeled V/IR and IR-only:

The V/IR cable provides a video stream that can be switched between daytime and infrared video, offering greater flexibility.The IR-only cable provides infrared video only.The V/IR stream is recommended if you are connecting just one cable directly to a chartplotter, as it offers more display options.
