The Raymarine Axiom+ 12 RV combines a 12.1-inch HydroTough IPS touchscreen with built-in GNSS, RealVision 3D, DownVision, SideVision, and High CHIRP. It is a compact chartplotter and fishfinder for cruisers, center consoles, and coastal fishing boats that want advanced imaging without moving to a much larger glass helm. The display uses touch control only.

The 1280 x 800 screen provides useful room for charts and sonar views, while the 600W sounder supports the listed conventional performance. RealVision 3D reaches 300 feet and traditional sonar reaches 900 feet under the supplied specification, with actual results depending on the transducer and conditions. LightHouse, Navionics, and C-MAP support leave chart choice open. The 25-pin RealVision transducer connection is important: the correct sensor is required for 3D, DownVision, and SideVision.

Key Features

- 12.1-inch HydroTough IPS touchscreen – Provides a practical chart and sonar workspace.
- 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution – Keeps mapping and imaging views clear.
- RealVision 3D, DownVision, and SideVision – Adds multiple structure-scanning views.
- High CHIRP and 600W sonar – Supports conventional fishfinding with the compatible transducer.
- Built-in 10Hz GPS/GLONASS, NMEA 2000, Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth – Supports connected coastal navigation.

Who Is This For?

This Raymarine RealVision 3D chartplotter suits cruisers, center consoles, sailboats, and coastal fishing boats that want touch control and structure imaging in a 12-inch display. It is not ideal for buyers who prefer physical keypad operation or need a larger offshore glass helm.

Compatibility

Confirmed features include Raymarine Axiom+, LightHouse, Navionics, C-MAP, 25-pin RealVision 3D transducers, NMEA 2000, Ethernet, SeaTalkhs, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The supplied information does not identify a specific radar, autopilot, Garmin, Simrad, or third-party transducer model. No named incompatible system was provided.

The Axiom+ 12 RV is the more sonar-focused alternative to a standard Axiom+ 12, adding RealVision 3D, DownVision, and SideVision to the chartplotter. Its trade-off is touch-only operation and the need for a compatible 25-pin transducer. Choose it when structure imaging matters more than keypad control or a larger offshore display.
