Garmin GPSMAP® 742XS with GMR18 HD+ 7-inch Touchscreen Chartplotter/Sonar/Radar Combo
Model: 010-01738-53Experience an advanced navigation solution with this compact 7-inch GPSMAP 742xs touchscreen combo. Includes wireless connectivity features for the Garmin BlueLink mobile app, NMEA 2000 support and Garmin Marine Network capabilities for radar and Panoptix all-seeing sonar, including Panoptix FrontVü collision avoidance sonar. It also has built-in Garmin CHIRP and CHIRP ClearVü sonar (transducer sold separately).
Full-network compatibility allows you to add more capabilities to your boat. Garmin Marine Network support allows sharing of sonar, including Panoptix sonar, maps, user data, Garmin radar, and IP cameras among multiple units. Plus, there’s NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 support for connectivity including autopilots, digital switching, weather, FUSION-Link, VHF, AIS and other sensors.
Enjoy built-in Wi-Fi and ANT wireless connectivity directly to quatix® marine watch, Garmin Nautix™ in-view display, gWind™ Wireless 2 transducer, GNX™ Wind marine instrument and wireless remote controls. You can even stream and control a VIRB action camera from the chartplotter.
Right out of the box, you have access to some amazing sonar capabilities; all you add are transducers. Comes with built-in Garmin 1 kW CHIRP sonar and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar. It even supports Panoptix all-seeing sonar, premium Garmin sonar modules and a wide range of transducers (sold separately).
Networked combos can share their internal sonar with any other device on the network. You can also choose what information is overlaid on the sonar screen, for example, radar, time of day or GPS speed.
Fast, responsive built-in 10 Hz GPS and GLONASS receiver refreshes your position and heading 10 times each second to make your movement on the screen more fluid. It makes dropping up to 5,000 accurate waypoints — and finding your way back to them — quick and easy.
LakeVü g3 inland maps and BlueChart® g3 coastal charts provide industry-leading coverage, clarity and detail with integrated Garmin and Navionics® data and Auto Guidance1 technology. LakeVü g3 and BlueChart g3 include Auto Guidance1, which uses your desired depth and overhead clearance to calculate routes and provide a suggested path to follow. LakeVü g3 provides coverage on more than 17,000 lakes with up to 1’ contours. BlueChart g3 also includes NOAA raster cartography, available as a free downloadable feature via the ActiveCaptain® app. Additionally, they both offer easy-to-use features such as Depth Range Shading and Shallow Water Shading, which let you view your target depth to avoid running aground.
Accessory map purchases, such as LakeVü g3 Ultra or BlueChart® g3 Vision, add even more features and detail to your maps and charts. LakeVü g3 Ultra and BlueChart g3 Vision add high-resolution relief shading, which provides an easy-to-interpret, clearer view of bottom structure than contour lines alone — plus many other chart and map-enhancing features.
To help you gain a wind-maximizing competitive edge, your chartplotter features a pre-race guidance page that shows your virtual starting line along with data fields showing laylines, time to burn before the start and a race timer that can be synchronized across all your networked Garmin GPS products. In addition, other supported sailing features include an enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, set and drift, true and apparent wind data and more.
If you have waypoints, tracks or frequently used routes stored on another manufacturer’s GPS product — or on a Garmin handheld device — it’s easy to transfer those items to your new Garmin chartplotter via industry-standard GPX software formatting.

Where do I start! This man is a genius, I may have ordered a amateurs dream from this man, went all out on garmin products from gpsmap screens to the live scope lv34 and to juice them up I went with all powerhouse batteries and charging units! Well now on the boat I’m staring at this out dated minnkota and it just looked out of place so I went ahead and ordered up the KRAKEN! I can’t stop bragging on how much you have helped me, even face timing me on the water to fine tune my Livescope, there is no big box store that could even come close to offer this level of customer service! You will forever be my go to company! Thank you again!

Very fast shipping. Very knowledgeable guy to deal with. I inquired after hours and Chad responded quickly and chatted with me for way longer than necessary because I knew nothing about livescope. Who offers there cell phone number to call with any install questions??? Chad does. I got a friend request from him and accepted. Felt like I bought from someone who values my purchase as well as my friendship. We may never meet but I feel like I have gained a great friend. Thanks Chad for all your time spent explaining what I wanted and giving me choices. This won't be my last purchase..

It has been a pleasure dealing with Chad at Chaddy Boys! I had contacted him many times on the phone and has been very helpful! I felt like we had been old friends for a long period of time! Chad sent me many quotes and was very helpful on choosing the electronics setup I was seeking! I ordered my unit and received it on exact date I was quoted! I will definitely be buying from Chaddy Boys again!

This 16 volt battery and Run and Gun Charger is the only way to outfit your boat. Fish all day with no worries. Chad is very knowledgeable and helpful with the everything you need for a great day on the water. Now just waiting for a 36 volt to have the perfect setup. Thanks Chad.
Update* Well we just installed the second battery and run and gun charger. Took out 3 lead acid and about 120 lbs. Looking forward to the new system. Gonna be awesome. Thanks again Chad

We offer on the water Face-Time calls for product install, setup & graph tuning for side-Imaging, down-imaging & livescope! I took this side scan image 4 years ago.
How many fish do you count?
