Garmin GPSMAP® 1042xsv Combo GPS/Fishfinder GN+
Garmin GPSMAP® 1042xsv Combo GPS/Fishfinder GN+ — Product description
Discover Seamless Navigation and Fishing on the Water
Imagine heading out for a day of cruising, sailing, or serious fishing without worrying about getting lost or missing the big catch. The Garmin GPSMAP 1042xsv steps in as your reliable all-in-one companion, blending a crisp 10-inch display with intuitive keypad controls for effortless operation even in rough seas. This isn't just a screen—it's a command center that keeps you focused on the horizon while handling the details behind the scenes.
Whether you're plotting a course through coastal waters or scanning for fish in deeper bays, its advanced sonar suite reveals what's below like never before. Pair that with preloaded high-definition charts, and you've got a tool that anticipates your needs, from auto-routing paths to sharing data across your boat's network.
Unlock Crystal-Clear Underwater Insights
Dive into superior sonar performance with built-in Garmin CHIRP technology, which delivers remarkable target separation and detail across various depths. Add CHIRP ClearVü for photo-like images straight down and CHIRP SideVü for wide-angle side scans up to 150 feet on either side of your vessel. These features help pinpoint structure, baitfish schools, and trophy fish with precision that traditional sonar can't match.
For live-action views, it seamlessly integrates with Panoptix and LiveScope systems, giving you real-time glimpses of fish movement and behavior. Pro anglers swear by this setup for tournament success, as it lets you react instantly to what's happening beneath the waves. Transducers are adaptable, so you can customize based on your boat's hull and fishing style.
Stay Connected Across Your Vessel
Wi-Fi connectivity opens the door to the ActiveCaptain app, where you can download charts via OneChart, receive smart notifications from your phone, and handle updates without a computer. The Garmin Marine Network lets multiple units share sonar pings, radar sweeps, maps, and user data effortlessly.
Broader compatibility includes NMEA 2000 and 0183 for autopilots, weather stations, VHF radios, AIS receivers, and sensors. ANT+ links it to smartwatches for pulse checks mid-race or wireless wind transducers for accurate data. Even engine monitoring gets a boost—track RPM, fuel flow, temps, and trim from up to four Mercury engines through the SmartCraft Connect gateway.
Installation is straightforward with included bail and flush mounts, power cables, and NMEA drop cables. Tuck it behind the dash or surface-mount it; the protective cover keeps it pristine when not in use.
Real-World Performance for Every Boater
Cruisers love the bright, sunlight-readable screen for long passages. Sailors leverage wind overlays and virtual starting lines for regattas. Fishermen rely on split-screen sonar/chart combos to jig over wrecks or troll open water. One user shared how SideVü revealed a hidden ledge packed with walleye during a foggy dawn patrol—details like that turn good days into legendary ones.
Expert tip: Calibrate your transducers in calm water first, and experiment with frequency blends (low for deep water, high for shallow) to maximize clarity. For night fishing, the adjustable backlight ensures visibility without glare.
