Garmin GPSMAP 943xsv

The GPSMAP 943xsv is a 9-inch chartplotter and sonar combo with built-in ClearVu, SideVu, and CHIRP sonar, plus Garmin Navionics+ US and Canada coastal charts and inland mapping already loaded. You get detailed lake and coastal coverage and full scanning sonar capability right out of the box once you add a compatible transducer. The slimline, edge-to-edge glass design has 50% more pixels than the previous generation 9-inch GPSMAP units and fits in a wider range of dash configurations.

What It Does on the Water

The built-in sonar handles ClearVu and SideVu scanning sonar plus CHIRP traditional sonar with 1 kW of transmit power. You get detailed bottom and structure imaging right out of the box once you add a compatible transducer. For LiveScope and Panoptix live sonar, you still need a compatible black box sonar module, sold separately.

The GPSMAP 943xsv connects to your Garmin Marine Network to share maps, radar, sonar, and IP camera feeds across multiple units on the same boat. It supports NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 for autopilots, VHF, AIS, digital switching, and other sensors. Built-in Wi-Fi connects to the ActiveCaptain app for software updates, chart upgrades to Navionics Vision+, and access to the Garmin Quickdraw Contours community. Engine connectivity supports J1939 and select Yamaha engines, and OneHelm integration brings EmpirBus digital switching onto one screen.
