Overview Raymarine a98 Multifunction Display
Raymarine a98 Multifunction Display is a 9-inch touchscreen chartplotter platform with built-in CHIRP DownVision sonar for anglers who need both navigation and detailed fishfinding in one display. The source data describes the a98 as two sonars in one, combining a CHIRP DownVision channel for structure and bottom detail with a separate CHIRP fish targeting channel for identifying bait and game fish.
It also supports Raymarine’s wider ecosystem through dual RayNet ports and SeaTalkng/NMEA2000 networking, while compatibility with Navionics and LightHouse Raster/Vector charts of the USA keeps navigation flexible. A compatible CHIRP DownVision transducer is required to complete the sonar installation.
