Garmin GPSMAP 943 GN+ Chartplotter, Non-Sonar, 9 in Touchscreen, US/Canada Navionics+ Charts, 10 Hz GNSS, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Wi-Fi

Overview

The Garmin 010-02366-60 is a 9-inch GPS chartplotter with built-in Garmin Navionics+ mapping and a 1280 x 720 touchscreen display. It uses a 10 Hz GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) so position and course data stay smooth when you are threading channels or running offshore in a chop.

Power is 10 to 32 Vdc with a 6 A fast-acting fuse, and typical draw is about 1.34 A at 12 Vdc. The unit is rated IPX7 and its case combines polycarbonate plastic with die-cast aluminum. Physical size is 233.0 x 162.3 x 75.8 mm (9 3/16 x 6 3/8 x 3 in.).

This is a non-sonar chartplotter. If you want sonar views, it supports compatible external sonar black boxes and transducers, and it can be built into a helm system with other compatible networked electronics.

Key features

• 9-inch touchscreen with 1280 x 720 resolution for clear chart detail and readable split screens
• Preloaded Garmin Navionics+ charts for U.S. and Canada coverage, including Auto Guidance+ route suggestions and a 1-year subscription for downloadable daily updates through the ActiveCaptain app
• 10 Hz GNSS positioning (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) for fast updates while underway
• Networking support for NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, J1939 engine data, Garmin Marine Network, and Wi-Fi
• Runs on 10 to 32 Vdc with a 6 A fast-acting fuse; typical draw is about 1.34 A at 12 Vdc
• IPX7 water rating; temperature range from -15 to 55 C (5 to 131 F)
• Two microSD card slots (up to 32 GB each) for charts, updates, and saved data

What's included

• GPSMAP 943 GN+ chartplotter
• microSD card (preinstalled)
• Power cable
• NMEA 2000 T-connector
• NMEA 2000 drop cable
• Bail mount with knobs
• Flush mount kit with gasket
• Protective cover
• Trim piece snap covers
• Documentation

Installation and setup

The unit supports bail mounting, flush mounting, or flat mounting, which helps when you are replacing an older display and trying to match an existing cutout or bracket. Leave space behind the unit for connector depth and cable bend radius, and keep the microSD slots in mind if you will not have easy access after a flush install.

Use marine sealant around the cutout to keep water from migrating behind the dash, and keep the weather caps on any unused ports to slow down corrosion in damp consoles. Compass-safe distance is 30 cm, which matters when the magnetic compass is close to the helm pod.

Compatibility and system integration

NMEA 2000 is supported for sharing navigation and sensor data, but the display is not powered through the NMEA 2000 backbone. Connect it to a dedicated 10 to 32 Vdc supply using the power harness; NMEA 2000 draw is 75 mA max (LEN 2).

For older devices, the NMEA 0183 port provides one differential input and one differential output. For engine gateways and compatible engines, the J1939 port supports engine data, and the connection is typically made with an accessory cable intended for the marine environment.

On-board fit and use

This model makes sense on center consoles, express cruisers, and sportfish boats where a chartplotter needs to act as the hub for charts and networked data at the helm. It is also a good match when you want built-in Navionics+ mapping now, with room to expand later with compatible radar, autopilot, AIS, cameras, and other helm add-ons.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
