Experience Superior On-Water Navigation with Crystal-Clear Visibility
Imagine gliding through foggy mornings or battling midday glare without missing a beat on your charts. The Garmin GPSMAP 943 transforms your helm into a command center with its vibrant 9-inch in-plane switching touchscreen. Boasting 50% more pixels than earlier models, it delivers sharper details and wider viewing angles, ensuring every crew member gets a clear read from any position. Whether you're plotting a coastal cruise or dodging reefs in unfamiliar waters, this plotter's enhanced sunlight readability keeps you focused on the journey ahead.
Lightning-Fast Performance for Seamless Operation
Dual the processing power of past generations means buttery-smooth panning across detailed maps and instantaneous responses to your inputs. Paired with 10 Hz GNSS tracking across GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, it locks onto your position with pinpoint accuracy, smoothing out speed and course-over-ground data for confident maneuvers. The slim bezels and compact footprint make retrofitting a breeze, fitting snugly into tight dash spaces without sacrificing screen real estate.
Precision Mapping That Guides You Effortlessly
Right out of the box, dive into preloaded Garmin Navionics+ charts covering U.S. and Canadian coastal and inland waters. Auto Guidance+ technology plots intelligent routes around shallows and hazards, streamlining your planning—though always pair it with vigilant seamanship. Upgrade to Vision+ for satellite overlays, high-res bathymetry, and daily updates that reveal dynamic sonar logs from the boating community.
For anglers, the integration potential shines: pair with external sonar modules for CHIRP, ClearVü, and SideVü scanning to spot structure and fish in stunning detail. Cruiser? Enjoy tide tables, weather overlays, and radar fusion for all-weather awareness.
SailAssist: Tailored Tools for Racing and Cruising Sailors
Sailors rejoice—this plotter packs advanced Garmin SailAssist features like dynamic laylines, race start-line assistance, and real-time wind angle calculations. Visualize set and drift, enhanced wind roses, and true wind data with intuitive sliders for tides and currents. Connect a compatible wind transducer to unlock heading lines, course-over-ground visuals, and more, giving you that competitive edge or relaxed passage planning.
Build Your Dream Marine Ecosystem
Seamless connectivity is at its core. NMEA 2000 and 0183 networks link autopilots, radars, cameras, multimedia, VHF, AIS, and engines—including J1939 for Yamaha and others. OneHelm consolidates third-party controls like EmpirBus digital switching onto one intuitive interface.
Wi-Fi pairs effortlessly with the ActiveCaptain app for OneChart management (switch maps without physical swaps), software updates, smart notifications, and Quickdraw Community crowdsourced contours. ANT+ opens doors to quatix watches, wireless wind sensors, GNX instruments, and remotes for hands-free control from anywhere on deck.
Rugged Build for Real-World Demands
IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off splashes, polarized lens cuts glare, and versatile mounting options (bail, flush, flat) adapt to any vessel. Power draw stays efficient at 1.3A typical, supporting extended trips without draining batteries.
