Garmin GPSMAP1242XSV 12 Combo No transducer US and Canada GN+ Product Description
Imagine navigating vast coastal waters or pinpointing the perfect fishing spot with confidence, all from a single, powerful dashboard on your boat. The Garmin GPSMAP 1242xsv steps up as your ultimate marine companion, blending razor-sharp charting, advanced sonar insights, and seamless connectivity into one robust 12-inch display. Boaters from casual cruisers to hardcore anglers swear by its reliability in choppy conditions, where every detail counts for safety and success on the water.
Superior Visibility and Intuitive Control
The expansive 12-inch WXGA screen delivers crystal-clear visuals even under direct sunlight, making it easier to spot hazards or track fish schools from afar. Unlike purely touchscreen units that can glitch with wet hands or gloves, this model pairs a vibrant display with a responsive keypad and multifunction knob. This setup shines during high-speed runs or when multitasking—quickly zoom charts, toggle sonar views, or adjust settings without missing a beat. It's built tough with an IPX7 water rating, shrugging off splashes and rain like a pro.
Unlock Next-Level Sonar Performance
At its core, the GPSMAP 1242xsv packs built-in CHIRP traditional sonar, plus ClearVü and SideVü scanning for jaw-dropping underwater clarity. Pair it with optional LiveScope or Panoptix transducers (sold separately) for real-time, all-seeing views that reveal fish behavior like never before—watch them swim, school, and strike. Features like sonar history rewind let you replay moments to analyze structure or baitfish patterns, turning every trip into a learning experience. With 1kW transmit power, it probes depths up to 5,000 feet, ideal for offshore adventures where traditional sonar falls short.
Precision Charting for U.S. and Canadian Waters
Preloaded with Garmin Navionics+ charts covering coastlines and inland waterways from Alaska to the Great Lakes, this chartplotter includes Auto Guidance+ technology. It intelligently plots safe routes around shallows, buoys, and no-go zones, saving hours of manual planning. Dive deeper with Quickdraw Contours to create personalized HD maps on the fly—share them via the Quickdraw Community for collective insights. Upgrade to Vision+ for satellite overlays, daily updates, and 3D views that make navigation feel effortless.
Stay Connected and Informed
Wireless Wi-Fi links to the ActiveCaptain app, streaming smart notifications, software updates, and community data straight to your phone. Garmin Marine Network lets multiple units share sonar, radar, and user data across your vessel, creating a unified command center. Monitor up to four Mercury engines via SmartCraft Connect—track RPMs, fuel efficiency, trim angles, and temps to optimize performance and avoid breakdowns. NMEA 2000/0183 compatibility integrates autopilots, VHF, AIS, weather stations, and cameras, while ANT+ pairs with quatix watches or wireless wind sensors for hands-free data.
Tailored for Sailors and Racers
Sailors rejoice: Built-in SailAssist tools like laylines, set and drift calculations, and wind overlays help optimize tacks and jibes. Race mode tracks competitors, starts, and virtual marks, giving you an edge in regattas. Whether plotting a coastal passage or fine-tuning for speed, these features elevate your sailing game without extra hardware.
Effortless Installation and Expansion
Mount it bail-style for quick removal or flush for a sleek helm. Dual SD card slots handle massive data storage, and ports for video input expand to cameras for 360-degree awareness. Everything you need kicks off with power/data cables, NMEA drop cables, mounts, and adapters right in the box—minimal fuss, maximum uptime.
What makes the Garmin GPSMAP 1242xsv ideal for serious anglers?
Its built-in CHIRP sonar with ClearVü and SideVü scanning, plus support for LiveScope, provides real-time fish tracking and structure detail unmatched by basic fishfinders. Sonar rewind and Quickdraw mapping let you refine spots over multiple trips.
Does it work well in rough seas or bright sunlight?
Yes, the 12-inch high-contrast WXGA display excels in glare, and the IPX7 rating handles spray and submersion. The keypad control stays reliable even with wet hands.
How does Auto Guidance+ help with navigation?
It generates efficient routes avoiding obstacles based on your boat's specs, using preloaded Navionics+ charts. Always cross-check with local knowledge for safety.
Can I network this with other Garmin devices?
Absolutely—Garmin Marine Network shares sonar, charts, and radar across units. NMEA 2000/0183 connects engines, autopilots, AIS, and sensors seamlessly.
Is a transducer included?
No, this combo model comes without a transducer, allowing you to choose the perfect one for your setup, like LiveScope or traditional CHIRP options.
What sailing-specific features does it offer?
SailAssist includes laylines, racing countdowns, wind data integration, and drift calculations, perfect for performance sailors and racers.
How do I access software updates and community maps?
Connect via built-in Wi-Fi to the ActiveCaptain app for OneChart swaps, Quickdraw Community data, and effortless updates.
Equip your vessel with the GPSMAP 1242xsv and transform how you explore, fish, and sail—precision engineering meets real-world boating demands.
