Standout Features for Everyday Boating and Fishing
This versatile chartplotter/fishfinder combines intuitive touchscreen controls with robust marine electronics, making it a go-to choice for kayaks, center consoles, and larger vessels alike. Its high-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS receiver locks in positions quickly, even in challenging environments like crowded marinas or under heavy tree cover near inlets.

- Advanced Sonar Support: Compatible with CHIRP traditional sonar for superior target separation, plus ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonars to reveal structure and fish in stunning detail (transducer sold separately).
- 7-Inch Sunlight-Readable Display: Vibrant WVGA touchscreen stays visible in direct sunlight, with adjustable brightness for night fishing or foggy dawns.
- Quickdraw Contours: Create personalized fishing maps in real-time with 1-foot contours up to 5,000 waypoints—no subscription needed.
- Wireless Connectivity: Share user data, software updates, and radar overlays via Wi-Fi, or network with other Garmin devices over NMEA 2000.
Superior Chartplotting for Safe Navigation
Whether you're plotting a course from Miami to the Keys or hugging the rugged Pacific shoreline, the built-in charts provide Auto Guidance technology that suggests safe routes, avoiding shallow spots and no-go zones. Overlay weather radar, SiriusXM data (subscription optional), or engine info for a complete helm picture. Sailors appreciate the laylines and sailing features, while powerboaters love the one-touch waypoint returns and man-overboard functions.
Fishfinding That Finds the Bite
Pair it with your choice of Garmin transducers to unlock split-screen views: traditional sonar for depth and fish arches, plus panoramic SideVü scans up to 500 feet per side. Traditional anglers get reliable bottom tracking, while tech-savvy users dial in frequencies from 50 kHz to 200 kHz for customized coverage.
Why Choose a Remanufactured Garmin GPSMAP 742xs?
Remanufactured units undergo rigorous factory testing, replacing any worn parts and restoring them to like-new condition. You'll get the same 1-year warranty as new models, full software support, and zero compromises on performance. It's a smart, eco-friendly pick for upgrading your setup or replacing a battle-worn unit—perfect for budget-conscious captains who refuse to skimp on quality.
Easy Expansion for Growing Needs
With dual microSD slots, add high-res LakeVü g3 or BlueChart g3 Vision cards for inland lakes or premium satellite imagery. Connect GMR radars, GHP autopilots, or GXM satellite receivers to build a networked system that grows with your boat.
Pro Tips for Installation and Peak Performance
Mount flush or with a bail for quick access, using the included gimbal knobs for angle tweaks. Power it via 10-32 VDC, and daisy-chain NMEA 2000 for multi-device setups. Calibrate sonar in calm water for accurate readings, and use the split-screen layouts to monitor charts, sonar, and engine data simultaneously. Regular firmware updates via Wi-Fi keep it cutting-edge.
