Overview

The Garmin 010-02683-01 is a 7 inch touchscreen chartplotter and fishfinder combo that comes with a GT54-TM transducer and a built-in worldwide basemap. The WVGA display runs 800 x 480 pixels and uses touchscreen control with keyed assist for quick inputs at the helm. It runs on 9 to 18 Vdc power and carries an IPX7 water rating for incidental spray and washdowns.

With the included transducer, you can use traditional sonar plus ClearVü and SideVü scanning views to separate fish from structure and see what is happening off to the sides. Mapping support covers Garmin Navionics+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ cartography, along with BlueChart g3 coastal charts and LakeVü g3 inland maps.

Built-in Wi-Fi and multi-band GPS round out the day-to-day features, and NMEA 2000 compatibility keeps the door open for connecting and viewing more onboard data on the same screen.

What’s included

• ECHOMAP UHD2 72sv display unit
• GT54-TM transducer
• Power cable
• Tilt and swivel mount with quick release cradle
• Protective cover
• Mounting hardware
• User documentation

Installation and mounting

You can plan for either a bracket style install using the included tilt and swivel mount or a flush mount at the console. For space planning, the unit with cradle is 218 x 142 x 81 mm, and the bail mount with sun cover measures 261 x 166 x 99 mm.

Leave room for cable bends and service access behind the dash. A clearance of 118 mm behind the chartplotter is a good target when laying out the mounting surface and cable routing.

Electrical and system integration

Power input is 9 to 18 Vdc with a 3 A fast-acting fuse included. Typical current draw is about 1.52 A at 12 Vdc, with peak draw up to 3.2 A at 12 Vdc, which helps when sizing wiring and a breaker for the electronics bus.

On 12 V boats, it can be wired directly to a switched circuit. On 24 V boats, it needs a regulated step-down supply to stay within the 18 V maximum input.

Networking and mobile features

NMEA 2000 compatibility lets the display share and show data from other compatible onboard gear on one screen, such as compatible autopilots, digital switching, and audio systems. Built-in Wi-Fi supports pairing with the ActiveCaptain app for OneChart features, software updates, and other connected functions.

If you run more than one compatible ECHOMAP UHD2 display, wireless sharing can keep key items like waypoints, routes, and sonar data consistent across stations.

On-board use cases

This setup fits boats where dash space is limited but you still want charting and scanning sonar in one display, such as bay boats, center consoles, aluminum fishing rigs, and smaller cruisers. It also makes sense for anglers who want SideVü and ClearVü views without moving up to a larger screen size.

Maintenance and care

Use the protective cover when the boat is stored or trailered, and rinse salt spray off the case and connectors with fresh water after runs. Keep software current through the app or your preferred update method so features and compatibility stay up to date.
