In terms of cartography, the GPSMAP 943xsv comes with preloaded BlueChart g3 coastal charts and LakeVü g3 inland maps. These maps provide up-to-date data from Garmin and Navionics, allowing you to navigate coastal and inland waters with confidence. Additionally, the device features Auto Guidance technology, which automatically generates a suggested route based on your desired destination and creates a safe path to follow.
Completing this package is the GMR 18 HD+ radar from Garmin. This dome-style radar is perfect for boats with limited space for installation. Despite its compact size, the GMR 18 HD+ radar transmits at a power of 4 kW and provides clear echo definition at all ranges, enhancing your awareness of the surrounding environment and improving your ability to navigate safely.
