Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv 7" Chartplotter | CHIRP + ClearVu + SideVu | No Transducer

🐟 Mid-range 7" CHIRP + ClearVü + SideVü chartplotter, head unit only, no transducer. Priced under $950 (no transducer). LiveScope-ready.

Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv 7" Chartplotter (No Transducer)

The Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv Chartplotter is one of the best 7-inch chartplotters for bass, crappie, and multi-species anglers for anglers who already own a GT-series transducer or want to pair the unit with a specialized transducer of their choice. It's the head-unit-only variant of Garmin's mainstream ECHOMAP UHD2 lineup, same 7" touchscreen, same CHIRP + ClearVü + SideVü sonar capability, same LiveScope upgrade path, but without the GT54UHD-TM transducer in the box. This is the right choice when you're upgrading from an older ECHOMAP and planning to keep your existing Garmin transducer, adding a second display to a networked multi-unit rig, or pairing the unit with a thru-hull or trolling motor transducer rather than a transom-mount.

This model ships with Navionics+ Canada maps pre-loaded, making it Canadian anglers fishing coast to coast. It's LiveScope Plus and LiveScope XR compatible when paired with the GLS 10 black box, a practical upgrade path for anglers who want live forward-looking sonar without replacing their head unit.

Who This Chartplotter Is For

The ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv Chartplotter is best for bass tournament anglers, crappie fishermen, striper chasers, and walleye pros who already own a GT-series transducer (GT20, GT22, GT52HW, GT54UHD, GT56UHD) from a previous ECHOMAP or STRIKER Vivid, or who want to spec a specialized transducer themselves. It's also the right choice for anglers adding a second display to a networked boat setup, pair it over NMEA 2000 or the Garmin Marine Network to mirror or extend sonar views from a primary unit. The 7-inch size the 7" size is large enough to split-screen two sonar views at once without squinting, and fits comfortably on most bass boat and pontoon consoles.

Choose This If...

• You already own a GT-series Garmin transducer, save ~$100 vs the Fishfinder variant (which includes a GT54UHD-TM transducer).
• You're adding a second display to a networked boat, mirror sonar from a primary unit over NMEA 2000 or Marine Network.
• You want a thru-hull or trolling motor transducer, spec your own transducer instead of the standard transom mount.
• You want LiveScope compatibility now or later, the 7" and 9" UHD2 units support LiveScope via GLS 10; the 5" and 6" units do not.
• You need SideVü side imaging, the "sv" suffix is the key. "cv" models do not support SideVü.
• Canadian anglers fishing coast to coast, this variant ships with Navionics+ Canada maps pre-loaded. U.S. inland anglers should pick the "U.S. Inland Maps" variant (73sv or 93sv). U.S. coastal anglers should pick the "U.S. Coastal Maps" variant (74sv or 94sv).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I buy the Chartplotter variant instead of the Fishfinder variant?

Three common reasons: (1) you already own a GT-series transducer from a previous Garmin unit and don't need another one, (2) you're adding a second display to a networked multi-unit boat, or (3) you want to spec a specialized transducer (thru-hull, trolling motor mount, or a different model like the GT56UHD for deeper water) rather than the standard GT54UHD-TM transom mount. You save approximately $100 vs the Fishfinder variant by skipping the included transducer.

Which transducer should I buy for this chartplotter?

For most transom-mount applications, the GT54UHD-TM is the matching transducer (the one included with the Fishfinder variant). For deeper-water or offshore use, consider the GT56UHD-TM. For thru-hull installations, look at the GT52HW-THF. For trolling motor mounts, consider the GT56UHD-TR or Panoptix PS22 / PS31 for live sonar. Call us at 252-431-6001 if you need help picking the right transducer for your boat and fishery.

Is the ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv LiveScope compatible?

Yes. The 7" and 9" UHD2 models support LiveScope Plus, LiveScope XR, and LiveScope Original when paired with a Garmin GLS 10 black box (sold separately, around $499). The 5" and 6" UHD2 models do not support LiveScope due to display tier limitations.

What's the difference between cv and sv?

"cv" means CHIRP + ClearVü (down imaging only). "sv" adds SideVü side imaging capability (when paired with an sv-capable transducer like the GT54UHD or GT56UHD). The 75sv is sv-capable; the 75cv is not.

What maps are included?

This unit ships with Navionics+ Canada maps pre-loaded. Preloaded coverage spans Canadian inland and coastal waters from British Columbia to Newfoundland, including major walleye, pike, muskie, and salmon waters. U.S. inland anglers should pick the "U.S. Inland Maps" variant (73sv or 93sv). U.S. coastal anglers should pick the "U.S. Coastal Maps" variant (74sv or 94sv). All units accept LakeMaster, CoastMaster, and C-MAP cartography via microSD for expanded coverage.

Will this fit on my boat?

The head unit is approximately 9" W wide by 5.5" H tall. It fits most 16-22 ft bass boats and pontoon fishing rigs. It mounts with the included gimbal bracket or an optional flush-mount kit. It requires 12V DC power wired to the accessory panel. Most anglers install the head unit themselves in 1-2 hours (transducer not included, so no transducer install time here).

Can I add this as a second display to my existing Garmin rig?

Yes. The ECHOMAP UHD2 75sv networks over NMEA 2000 and the Garmin Marine Network (Ethernet, limited). You can share waypoints, sonar data, and GPS with compatible Garmin chartplotters and fishfinders. Running a second display is a common reason customers choose the Chartplotter variant.
