Garmin GPSMAP742XS 7 Plotter US Coastal No Transducer Product Description

Unlock Precision Navigation on Your Boat

Picture this: you're cruising along the US coastline, dodging shallows and plotting the perfect course to your next anchorage. The Garmin GPSMAP 742xs makes it effortless with its vibrant 7-inch touchscreen that responds intuitively, even with wet fingers or gloves on. This compact powerhouse combines chartplotting, sonar, and networking in one sleek unit, tailored for boaters who demand reliability without the bulk.

Whether you're an angler chasing structure in coastal bays or a sailor optimizing for wind shifts, this chartplotter delivers fluid 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS tracking—refreshing your position 10 times per second for smoother trails and pinpoint waypoints. Drop up to 5,000 markers and retrace routes with confidence, all while integrating seamlessly with your boat's systems.

Crystal-Clear Sonar Without the Clutter

Built-in 1 kW CHIRP traditional sonar and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar give you stunning underwater views right away (pair with your choice of transducer for operation). Spot fish arches, bottom hardness, and structure separation like never before. Want live-action views? It supports Panoptix all-seeing sonar for real-time front-facing obstacle detection—ideal for avoiding collisions in marinas or tight spots.

Network multiple units to share sonar data across screens, overlay radar returns or GPS speed on the fishfinder view, and rewind history to revisit missed marks. For serious anglers, frequencies from 50 kHz to 800 kHz cover deep offshore drops to shallow flats, reaching up to 5,000 feet depending on conditions.

Comprehensive US Coastal and Inland Coverage

Preloaded with BlueChart g3 coastal charts and LakeVü g3 inland maps, you'll navigate over 17,000 US lakes with 1-foot contours and coastal waters featuring NOAA raster data. Auto Guidance+ tech plots safe routes around your specified depth and clearance—no more guessing with hazards.

Enhance with optional LakeVü g3 Ultra or BlueChart g3 Vision for relief shading that reveals bottom contours in vivid 3D-like detail. Features like Depth Range Shading and Shallow Water Shading highlight safe zones, while tide tables and current data keep you informed. Import GPX files from other devices for instant familiarity.

Stay Connected Across Your Vessel

Garmin Marine Network lets you share maps, sonar, radar, and IP cameras between units. NMEA 2000 and 0183 compatibility hooks up autopilots, VHF, AIS, weather stations, and FUSION-Link audio effortlessly. Built-in Wi-Fi and ANT+ connect to the ActiveCaptain app for planning, software updates, and community intel, plus quatix watches, wireless remotes, and even VIRB cameras for POV footage control.

SiriusXM weather/radio ready, SmartMode presets for customized dashboards, and GRID remote input keep everything at your fingertips. Sailing enthusiasts love the pre-race laylines, synchronized timers, wind rose, set/drift calculations, and apparent/true wind overlays.

Rugged Design for Real-World Boating

At 8.8 x 5.6 x 2.1 inches and just 1.9 lbs, it fits flush or bail mounts on consoles big or small. The IPX7 waterproof WVGA display shines in sunlight, with an internal antenna (or external via NMEA 2000). Store 100 routes, 50 tracks with 50,000 points, and dual microSD slots for expansions.

It also has built-in Garmin CHIRP and CHIRP ClearVü sonar (transducer sold separately).

Full-network compatibility allows you to add more capabilities to your boat. Garmin Marine Network support allows sharing of sonar, including Panoptix sonar, maps, user data, Garmin radar, and IP cameras among multiple units. Plus, there’s NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 support for connectivity including autopilots, digital switching, weather, FUSION-Link, VHF, AIS and other sensors.

Enjoy built-in Wi-Fi and ANT wireless connectivity directly to quatix® marine watch, Garmin Nautix™ in-view display, gWind™ Wireless 2 transducer, GNX™ Wind marine instrument and wireless remote controls. You can even stream and control a VIRB action camera from the chartplotter.

Right out of the box, you have access to some amazing sonar capabilities; all you add are transducers. Comes with built-in Garmin 1 kW CHIRP sonar and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar. It even supports Panoptix all-seeing sonar, premium Garmin sonar modules and a wide range of transducers (sold separately).

Networked combos can share their internal sonar with any other device on the network. You can also choose what information is overlaid on the sonar screen, for example, radar, time of day or GPS speed.

Fast, responsive built-in 10 Hz GPS and GLONASS receiver refreshes your position and heading 10 times each second to make your movement on the screen more fluid. It makes dropping up to 5,000 accurate waypoints — and finding your way back to them — quick and easy.

LakeVü g3 inland maps and BlueChart® g3 coastal charts provide industry-leading coverage, clarity and detail with integrated Garmin and Navionics® data and Auto Guidance1 technology. LakeVü g3 and BlueChart g3 include Auto Guidance1, which uses your desired depth and overhead clearance to calculate routes and provide a suggested path to follow. LakeVü g3 provides coverage on more than 17,000 lakes with up to 1’ contours. BlueChart g3 also includes NOAA raster cartography, available as a free downloadable feature via the ActiveCaptain® app. Additionally, they both offer easy-to-use features such as Depth Range Shading and Shallow Water Shading, which let you view your target depth to avoid running aground.

Accessory map purchases, such as LakeVü g3 Ultra or BlueChart® g3 Vision, add even more features and detail to your maps and charts. LakeVü g3 Ultra and BlueChart g3 Vision add high-resolution relief shading, which provides an easy-to-interpret, clearer view of bottom structure than contour lines alone — plus many other chart and map-enhancing features.

To help you gain a wind-maximizing competitive edge, your chartplotter features a pre-race guidance page that shows your virtual starting line along with data fields showing laylines, time to burn before the start and a race timer that can be synchronized across all your networked Garmin GPS products. In addition, other supported sailing features include an enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, set and drift, true and apparent wind data and more.

If you have waypoints, tracks or frequently used routes stored on another manufacturer’s GPS product — or on a Garmin handheld device — it’s easy to transfer those items to your new Garmin chartplotter via industry-standard GPX software formatting.
