Garmin GPSMAP 743 Non-Sonar Chartplotter, 7in Touchscreen, US/Canada Navionics+ Charts

Overview

The Garmin 010-02365-60 is a 7-inch touchscreen chartplotter with Garmin Navionics+ coastal and inland charts for the U.S. and Canada, plus a 10 Hz GNSS receiver for responsive position updates and smooth course-over-ground data.

The display runs at 1024 x 600 pixels on an IPS panel, and the unit carries an IPX7 water rating for open-helm conditions. Power input is 10 to 32 Vdc, and typical draw is about 1.1 A on a 12 V system.

This is the non-sonar version, so it does not include an internal sounder. It can still become the center screen for a full system, showing charts alongside radar, autopilot data, cameras, audio, and sonar when paired with compatible network accessories.

Key features

• 7-inch edge-to-edge touchscreen with 1024 x 600 resolution and IPS viewing for bright helm locations
• 10 Hz multi-constellation GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) for steady speed and COG readouts
• Preloaded Garmin Navionics+ charts for the U.S. and Canada with Auto Guidance+ route suggestions and daily chart updates through the ActiveCaptain app
• Connectivity for Garmin Marine Network (1 port), NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, and J1939 engine data integration
• Sonar compatible with external black box sounders; no internal sounder in this unit
• IPX7 water rating with a housing built from polycarbonate and die-cast aluminum
• Two microSD card slots (up to 32 GB each) for added charts, user data, and updates
• One BNC video input for a compatible camera feed on the display

Installation and mounting

Mounting is flexible for different helms, with both a bail mount and a flush mount kit included. The unit measures 7.6 in wide x 5.5 in high x 2.9 in deep, so plan for clearance behind the dash for connectors and access to the rear microSD card slots.

For best long-term reliability in a vibrating console, support the cable runs and keep bends gentle, especially where the harness exits the unit. On boats that see frequent washdowns, mounting where water does not pool on the connectors makes service easier later.

Networking and system integration

On NMEA 2000, it behaves like a lightweight device on the backbone (LEN 2 and up to 75 mA draw), which works well for sharing GPS position, heading, depth sources, tank levels, and other helm data. NMEA 0183 support helps when you are tying into older AIS receivers or radios that are not on NMEA 2000.

The Garmin Marine Network port is the high-speed link for compatible Garmin accessories and sharing data between compatible displays. When you are building out the system over time, this keeps the chartplotter from feeling boxed in after the initial install.

Sonar and fishfinder setup

To run fishfinder views, plan on an external sounder module and a transducer matched to the sonar style you want to use. The display can also show FrontVü forward-looking sonar with compatible equipment, but once speed climbs above 8 knots its ability to help avoid forward collisions drops off, so it is best treated as a slow-speed aid in tight water.

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.
