The
Garmin GPSMAP 740 comes preloaded with detailed offshore maps for all U.S. coastal areas, including Alaska and Hawaii and Explorer Charts data of the Bahamas. Garmin also introduced the
Garmin GPSMAP 720, which shares the same advanced features and is designed for markets outside the United States. For sonar capability, Garmin also offers the
Garmin GPSMAP 740s and
Garmin GPSMAP 720s combo models, which feature a built-in 1kW capable sonar transceiver that can clearly define fish targets and terrain features as far down as 2,000 feet to keep you apprised of whats happening under the surface.
All of Garmins new chartplotters in the Garmin GPSMAP 700 series feature a standard radar port that lets you connect with any Garmin GMR series marine radar for target scanning on your chartplotter screen. Whether youre adding radar now or in the future, youll enjoy the convenience of plug-and-play installation, as well as the power, range and high-definition targeting of Garmins proven radar offerings. These units are the first non-network radar-capable units offered in Garmins marine product line up, and offer the perfect solution for the cost-conscious mariner who wants to take advantage of radar capabilities without the network price. In addition, these new units offer full NMEA 2000 connectivity and make it easy to monitor engine, fuel, autopilot, weather and other onboard sensor data via the chartplotter.
Like the other Garmin touchscreen marine products, these units feature a sophisticated and elegant flat-screen physical design that complements todays modern boats. Boasting a sleek 7-inch super-bright, waterproof (IPX7 standards) touchscreen display, the Garmin GPSMAP 700 series offers unprecedented extremes of brightness for daytime readability with super low-level dimming for optimum night vision. With a built-in high-sensitivity GPS receiver, these new chartplotters are the perfect navigation solution for a single station vessel, and with their small footprint, can fit onboard your vessel where other larger units cannot. The built-in GPS receiver provides installation location flexibility, and therefore can also effectively serve as the back-up navigation station on a larger yacht.
