- Preloaded U.S. LakeVü™ HD and BlueChart® g2 coastal maps
- High-sensitivity internal 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver
- Built-in Garmin HD-ID™ 1 kW sonar, CHIRP and DownVü™ scanning sonar with CHIRP technology

The GPSMAP 1040xs keyed chartplotter/sonar combo has a 10” color SVGA display and comes with preloaded U.S. LakeVü HD and BlueChart g2 coastal maps. HD-ID 1 kW sonar, CHIRP and DownVü with CHIRP sonar technology are built-in, allowing you the flexibility to choose from several optional transducers.
Extreme Sonar Capabilities
The built-in sonar capabilities of the GPSMAP 1040xs gives you the freedom and flexibility to choose from several optional transducers, including 1 kW traditional, CHIRP and all-in-one HD-ID/DownVü scanning sonar with CHIRP technology. Add a GCV™ 10 black box sonar for both DownVü and SideVü™ scanning sonar with CHIRP technology (sold separately).
CHIRP Support
When used with a compatible CHIRP transducer (sold separately), GPSMAP 1040xs displays crystal-clear sonar images detailing fishing hot spots, ship wreckage or a diving location. With Garmin CHIRP technology, you get remarkable target separation and resolution at extraordinary depths, and can dial into specific frequencies to target certain species of sport fish. Bottom contours are more visible, even at speed, and signal noise can be suppressed at greater depths to provide a more timely interpretation of what’s below for safer navigation and better fishing.
Dynamic Sea Temperature
Set a range for sea temperatures, and it dynamically adjusts to display a color range that can be used to target certain types of fish. (Optional GXM™ 52 required) .
Radar Support
Add your choice of marine radar, either open array or our new xHD dome radar that pair ease of use with advanced open array features.
Includes Inland and Coastal Mapping
The GPSMAP 1040xs comes preloaded with both BlueChart g2 coastal maps and LakeVü HD, which features 17,000 U.S. lakes, of which more than 5,700 HD lakes have 1’ contours shoreline to shoreline. It's also compatible with optional mapping, LakeVü HD Ultra with MaxDef Lakes and BlueChart g2 Vision.
Super-fast 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS
High-sensitivity internal 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS provides position and
heading updates 10 times per second. It displays fluid on-screen location and proves to be incredibly accurate when marking waypoints and navigating.
NMEA 2000® Support
