Garmin GPSMAP 1042xsv 10″ Chartplotter GT52-TM Bundle

The Garmin GPSMAP 1042xsv GT52-TM bundle combines a 10.1-inch high-bright display with physical rotary controls and an included GT52HW-TM transducer. Its 1024 x 600 resolution keeps the unit more compact than the 12.1-inch GPSMAP 1242xsv, while high-wide CHIRP, ClearVü, and SideVü provide conventional and scanning sonar. NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Garmin Marine Network, and J1939 support make it suitable for connected fishing boats.

Key Features

- 10.1-inch high-bright WSGA non-touch display – Provides a clear chart and sonar view while fitting more helm layouts than a 12-inch unit.
- 1024 x 600 resolution – Gives useful mapping and sonar detail in a mid-size display.
- 1,000 watts RMS traditional sonar and 500 watts ClearVü/SideVü – Supports strong sonar performance with the included transducer.
- GT52HW-TM transducer with 20-foot cable – Provides high-wide CHIRP, ClearVü, and SideVü from a transom or trolling-motor mount.
- Garmin Marine Network, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, and J1939 – Supports chartplotter networking, marine data, and engine information.

Who Is This For?

This model suits mid-size coastal fishing boats, technical bay boats, open-helm vessels, and 18- to 28-foot hulls where physical controls are preferred. The included transducer makes it suitable for a new installation rather than a display-only replacement.

It is not the best choice for a very small console or for buyers who want touchscreen operation. The 10.1-inch display offers less viewing area than the GPSMAP 1242xsv, although it is easier to fit.

Compatibility

Confirmed compatibility includes the GT52HW-TM transducer, Garmin Marine Network Ethernet, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, J1939 engine bus, Panoptix, and Force Live Sonar. The supplied information does not identify specific autopilot or radar models. No named incompatible system was provided; verify Garmin network and accessory requirements before connecting additional equipment.

Warranty & Support

The supplied specifications do not state a warranty term for this model. Confirm Garmin’s current warranty coverage and exclusions before purchase.

The GPSMAP 1042xsv bundle is the practical middle ground between compact Garmin units and the larger 12.1-inch GPSMAP 1242xsv. It includes the same GT52HW-TM transducer family, physical controls, network interfaces, and live-sonar expansion, but its 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 display is easier to install on a mid-size boat. Choose it when dash space is limited but a 5- or 7-inch screen is too small for regular chart and sonar work.
