Garmin GPSMAP 943 Chartplotter GN+
GPSMAP® 943 Chartplotter GN+
You’re a boater who wants premium features, maps, and charts for your connected helm. This crisp 9" high-resolution chartplotter makes that wish come true.
Get a sharper view from your connected helm with the GPSMAP® 943 chartplotter. Its higher-resolution 9” in-plane switching display has 50% more pixels than previous-generation chartplotters. The ultra-sleek design and nearly double the processing power of previous-generation GPSMAP devices offer seamless integration into your Garmin marine system. Preloaded Garmin Navionics+™ coastal charts and inland mapping feature Auto Guidance+™ technology (Auto Guidance+ is for planning purposes only and does not replace safe navigation operations) for helping you get where you need to go. Plus, there’s support for optional Garmin Navionics Vision+™ premium map content. Easily build your marine system — from compatible sonar and autopilots to compatible radar, cameras and multimedia — by using HTML 5.0, NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183 networking, J1939 for engines, and the Garmin Marine Network. Add FrontVü™ forward-looking sonar (sold separately) for help in avoiding underwater obstructions ahead. Or pair your plotter with your other compatible Garmin devices, such as quatix® smartwatches, wind transducers, wireless remote controls, and more.
