Garmin GPSMAP 943xsv Combo GPS/Fishfinder GN+

GPSMAP® 943xsv Combo GPS/Fishfinder GN+

You’re an angler who wants premium features, maps, and charts for your connected helm plus built-in sonar. This crisp 9" high-resolution chartplotter makes that wish come true.

Get a sharper view from your connected helm with the GPSMAP® 943xsv chartplotter. Its higher-resolution 9” in-plane switching display has 50% more pixels than previous-generation chartplotters. And with its compact footprint, vivid sonar color palette, and double the processing power of previous-generation GPSMAP devices, it seamlessly integrates into your Garmin marine system.

GPSMAP 943xsv also features built-in Ultra High-Definition SideVü™ and ClearVü™ scanning sonars and supports 1 kW CHIRP traditional sonar as well as fully networkable radar and live sonar devices. Preloaded Garmin Navionics+™ coastal charts and inland mapping feature Auto Guidance+™ technology (Auto Guidance+ is for planning purposes only and does not replace safe navigation operations) for helping you get where you need to go. Plus, there’s support for optional Garmin Navionics Vision+™ premium map content.

Easily build your marine system — from compatible sonar and autopilots to compatible radar, cameras and multimedia — by using HTML 5.0, NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183 networking, J1939 for engines, and the Garmin Marine Network. Or pair your plotter with your other compatible Garmin devices, such as quatix® marine smartwatches, wind transducers, wireless remote controls, and more.

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.

POWER-POLE^® SHALLOW WATER ANCHOR

By networking select Garmin chartplotters with a Force^® trolling motor and your compatible Power-Pole shallow water anchoring system, you can access advanced boat control features⁶ from your plotter, including smart anchor auto-deployment, smart anchor jog, auto stow, anchor drag detection and auto guidance⁷ end-of-route anchoring. Spend more time fishing, less time positioning.
