Preloaded detailed mapping for Coastal and Freshwater lakes and rivers throughout the US are included with Garmin’s Bluechart G3 and LakeVu G3 mapping and auto guidance technology. But, if that isn’t enough detail Garmin includes two SD card slots on the back of your 1243xsv to allow you to add further detailed mapping such as Bluechart G3 Vision or LakeVu G3 Ultra or to simply expand memory when you run out of space for all of your stored fishing holes.

Built in Ultra High Definition SideVu and ClearVu scanning sonar with new vivid high-contrast color palettes help anglers distinguish fish holding structures and see fish clearer than ever. The GPSMAP 1243xsv supports Traditional sonar frequencies at 50/77/83/200 kHz, 1kW CHIRP (low, med, high), and ClearVu/SideVu frequencies at 260/455/800 kHz, all dependent on the transducer you choose. Sonar recording and Sonar History Rewind are key features that allow anglers to go back to fish holding areas and record these fish as they move from one location to another.
