Garmin GPSMAP 1242xsv 12″ Marine Chartplotter Unit

Description

The Garmin GPSMAP 1242xsv 12″ Marine Chartplotter Unit eliminates difficult touchscreen menu failures and sluggish map loading on commercial crabbing vessels, dedicated night fishing skiffs, rough-sea pilot boats, and multi-display arrangements. Running on a wide 10 to 32 Volts DC universal battery network, this keyed control combo unit utilizes physical rotary dial navigation to guarantee error-free menu access during severe deck rolling events. Commercial captains can operate in cold, freezing weather windows safely, knowing their primary sonar tracking terminal responds perfectly even when handled with heavy workspace gloves.

Constructed with a high-bright 12.1-inch diagonal WXGA non-touch screen displaying 1280 x 800 pixels, the rugged panel remains fully readable under direct afternoon sun or during pitch-black night operations. The built-in ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonar processors operate alongside a robust 1000 Watts RMS CHIRP network hub to trace underwater structures down to 5000 feet. Procuring this premium Taiwan-manufactured keyed chartplotter optimizes data sharing via NMEA 2000 and J1939 engine buses, backed by a comprehensive 1-Year limited commercial factory warranty package.
