Garmin GPSMAP 1543xsv

Offering a sleek aesthetic in a 15″ edge-to-edge glass format, the GPSMAP 1543xsv chartplotter expands your viewing horizons. Its ultrawide, highresolution IPS touchscreen is 74% wider with more pixels than a standard 9″ chartplotter.

It also features built-in Ultra High-Definition SideVü™ and ClearVü™ scanning sonars and supports 1 kW CHIRP traditional sonar as well (transducer required; sold separately). Integrate multiple devices — from compatible Panoptix™ and LiveScope™ sonar to autopilots, radar, cameras and multimedia systems — by using Garmin OneHelm™, NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183 networking, J1939 for engines and the Garmin Marine Network. Easily pair your plotter with your other compatible Garmin devices, such as quatix® smartwatches, wind transducers, wireless remote controls and more.

Key Features of GPSMAP 1543xsv

SLEEK AND MODERN DESIGN

Offering a modern design, with minimal trim borders and edge-toedge glass, the GPSMAP 1543 chartplotter features an ultrawide, high-resolution touchscreen interface with the familiar, easy-to-use functionality of our existing GPSMAP x3 series chartplotters.

BRIGHT AND CLEAR OPTICS

This versatile chartplotter’s ultrawide IPS display provides wider viewing angles, accurate colors, superior clarity and sunlight readability — even with polarized sunglasses.

SPLIT TO FIT

Experience the benefits of split screens on an ultrawide display. Split-screen control lets you size and organize your display configuration to put the data you need right where you want it.

LIVE SONAR SUPPORT

Pair with Panoptix™ or LiveScope™ easy-to-interpret live sonar (transducer required; sold separately) to see all around your boat in real time.

TWO MOUNTING OPTIONS

A bail-mount option with inset knobs and a bracket supports unique “floating display” installations, while a rear-mount option is provided for secure flush- and flat-mount helm solutions.

TRADITIONAL AND SCANNING SONAR

Get built-in support for 1 kW CHIRP traditional sonar for superior target separation. Plus, Ultra High-Definition ClearVü™ and SideVü™ scanning sonars feature vivid, high-contrast color palettes to help distinguish fish from structure (transducer required; sold separately).
