Top-of-the-line Raymarine glass bridge display. The 22-inch Axiom XL 22 puts a massive, sharp, sunlight-readable chart in front of the helm with LightHouse charts preloaded, ClearCruise integration, and the full Raymarine marine networking ecosystem behind it.
The Raymarine Axiom XL 22 (MPN E70515) is a 22-inch premium chartplotter that sits at the top of Raymarine’s flagship marine display line. The 22-inch display is the largest Raymarine offers in this product family, sized for serious cruising and commercial bridges where the chart needs to be readable at a glance from anywhere at the helm. The screen is sunlight-readable, full-HD resolution, multi-touch capable, and edge-to-edge glass for a clean glass-bridge install. Raymarine LightHouse charts come preloaded covering coastal North American waters with current chart data and the ClearCruise community-sourced point-of-interest layer built in.
What this display delivers. Sharp, immediate chart visibility at long glance distance from anywhere on the bridge. Full multi-touch zoom and pan that feels like a modern tablet, not a chartplotter from a decade ago. Split-screen capability that lets you run chart plus sonar, chart plus radar, chart plus engine data, or any other combination side-by-side without losing legibility on either pane. For owners running a complete Raymarine marine electronics ecosystem (radar, sonar, autopilot, engine integration, AIS, weather), the Axiom XL is the bridge display that ties it all together.
Why this size. For boats in the 50-foot+ range with a serious cruising helm, the 22-inch display isn’t oversized – it’s right-sized. At normal helm seating distances, a smaller display forces you to lean forward to read chart details. The Axiom XL stays readable from anywhere at the helm, which means you can plan ahead, scan for hazards, and stay aware of your situation without breaking your normal driving posture. For cruising owners who spend long hours at the helm, the difference in fatigue level between a 9-inch display and a 22-inch display is substantial.
Raymarine LightHouse charts. Preloaded charts cover coastal North American waters with the current Raymarine LightHouse data set, including bathymetry, navaids, marina detail, points of interest, ClearCruise reviews and tips, and integrated tide and current information. The LightHouse data is updated regularly through Raymarine’s chart update service for owners who maintain a subscription. For waters outside the preloaded region, additional Raymarine chart products are available as SD card add-ons.
ClearCruise integration. The Raymarine ClearCruise ecosystem layers community-sourced data over the chart: marina reviews, anchorage notes, hazard warnings, fuel prices, and similar crowdsourced cruising knowledge. For owners cruising unfamiliar waters or planning long passages, ClearCruise is a genuinely useful information layer that supplements the official chart data with operational know-how from other cruisers.
Network integration. The Axiom XL supports Raymarine RayNet Marine Network connectivity for full integration with Raymarine radar (Quantum/Magnum), sonar (CHIRP traditional, CHIRP traditional SideVision, DownVision, RealVision 3D, CHIRP traditional DownVision), autopilot (Evolution, Force trolling motor integration), AIS receivers/transponders, engine data through NMEA 2000, weather receivers, and the full ecosystem of compatible Raymarine marine electronics. For owners building a complete Raymarine glass bridge, the Axiom XL is the centerpiece display.
Installation. The 22-inch display is a significant install. Plan flush mount in the helm or dash with proper structural support behind the cutout, professional cable runs for power and network, and integration with the boat’s electrical and grounding systems. The work is straightforward for a marine electronics installer but not a casual DIY project unless you have experience with large flush-mount installs. Professional install protects warranty coverage and ensures proper performance.
Why pay this much. The Axiom XL is the top of the Raymarine chartplotter line, and that position commands a premium over smaller displays in the same family. The premium pays for the display size, the resolution, the brightness for sunlight readability, the glass-bridge build quality, and the integration with the full Raymarine ecosystem. For owners who are committed to Raymarine and want the largest, brightest, sharpest display in the line, the Axiom XL is the answer. For owners with smaller boats or simpler requirements, the smaller Axiom displays serve well at much lower cost.
