Garmin ECHOMAP™ UHD2 5" Chartplotter 55cv - Without Transducer 010-02592-60
Product Code: GA010-02592-60
The Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 55cv is a 5" keyed chartplotter supplied with Garmin Navionics+ charts for the UK and Ireland already loaded — the most affordable way into Garmin cartography, and a straightforward standalone plotter for a small boat or a tender.
- 5" keyed display, 800 x 480 — buttons rather than a touchscreen
- Garmin Navionics+ UK & Ireland preloaded
- 500 W traditional CHIRP and ClearVü sonar to 701 m — transducer required, 4-pin
- Built-in Wi-Fi with ActiveCaptain, and wireless sharing with another ECHOMAP UHD2
- Bail, swivel or flush mounting; microSD up to 1 TB
- 9 to 18 Vdc, 0.5 kg, IPX7
Please note: this is one of Garmin’s keyed models. It has no NMEA 2000 and no NMEA 0183, so it cannot read wind, depth or AIS from existing instruments and cannot drive an autopilot. If you need to connect it to the rest of the boat, look at the 65sv or 75sv instead. Garmin part number 010-02592-60.
What this model does - and what it does not
This is one of Garmin keyed ECHOMAP UHD2 models: buttons rather than touch, and no NMEA connectivity of any kind. It arrives with UK and Ireland charts loaded. Figures from Garmin published specifications.
Included
- ✓Garmin Navionics+ UK and Ireland charts, preloadedReady to navigate out of the box - no chart card to buy first.
- ✓Traditional CHIRP and ClearVü sonar500 W, to 701 m at 77 kHz. Transducer required.
- ✓Wi-Fi and ActiveCaptainChart and software updates, plus waypoint sync from your phone.
- ✓Wireless sharing with another UHD2Share sonar and user data with a second UHD2 or Ultra 2 within about 32 m, with no cable between them.
- ✓Bail, swivel or flush mountingAll three are supported, so it suits a pod, a bracket or a panel cut-out.
- ✓microSD up to 1 TBA single slot, exFAT formatted, for extra charts and waypoint backups.
Not supported
- ✗Not a touchscreenThis is one of Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 keyed models - it is driven by buttons. If you want touch, the 65sv, 75sv or 95sv are the touchscreen units.
- ✗No NMEA 2000There is no bus connector at all. It cannot read wind, depth, AIS or engine data from your instruments, and it cannot drive an autopilot. This is the single biggest difference from the sv models.
- ✗No NMEA 0183The power cable carries power and ground only - Garmin instructs you to disregard the blue and brown wires.
- ✗No SideVücv means ClearVü only. There is no side-scanning on this model.
- ✗No radar and no network portRadar needs a GPSMAP. There is no Garmin Marine Network connector on the keyed range.
- ✗TransducerNot supplied. The 4-pin sonar port needs one - note 4-pin, not the 12-pin used by the sv models.
Reading a Garmin model number
Garmin naming looks impenetrable until someone shows you the pattern. Once you can read it, the whole range makes sense in about ten seconds.
5
Screen size in inches. The keyed range runs 5 and 7 inch; the touchscreen range starts at 6.
5
A cartography code. On the UK unit this is Garmin Navionics+ for UK and Ireland.
cv
ClearVü only. An sv model adds SideVü and moves to a 12-pin transducer port; cv models are 4-pin.
Naming as published by Garmin for part 010-02592-60. Note that keyed models have no NMEA connectivity at all.

Fitting it
- Tilt mount with quick-release cradle supplied - drill four 3 mm pilot holes
- Flush mounting is supported, but the kit and template are a separate purchase
- Swivel base is not available for the 9 inch model
- Allow clearance behind the panel for the cradle and connector bundle
- Cut from the template supplied with the flush kit, not from the device dimensions
NMEA 2000 basics
- Linear backbone with T-connectors, one drop cable per device
- A 120 ohm terminator at each end - the most common DIY mistake
- Drop cables 6 m maximum; backbone 100 m maximum
- Power the network from the ignition or a switch, never straight off the battery
- 1 LEN = 50 mA, so a chartplotter at LEN 1 barely loads the bus

The three questions we get asked every time
Three questions come up on the phone almost every week. Here is what we tell our customers.
Why is it sold without a transducer?
Because the UK models we stock are display-only - and because for most of our customers that is the right answer anyway.
- The bundled transducer on overseas versions is nearly always a transom mount, which lifts clear of the water the moment a yacht heels
- Many boats already have depth on the NMEA 2000 bus from existing instruments - the plotter simply reads it
- An existing Garmin transducer can often be reused with an adapter cable
- Buying the display bare and pairing it with a through-hull is a better install, not a compromise
Which transducer, and where does it go?
Three fittings, and the right one depends far more on your hull than on the display in front of it.
- Transom mount - the simplest to fit, no hole in the hull, adjustable afterwards. Unsuitable for a yacht that heels; vulnerable on a drying mooring
- Through-hull - best signal and best at speed, the standard answer for a keelboat. Needs a haul-out, and usually a fairing block on a deep-V or sailing hull
- In-hull - no hull penetration, fits afloat, nothing to snag. Only works through solid GRP, never through a cored laminate, steel or aluminium, and you lose some sensitivity
Which models come with UK charts?
This is the question that catches people out, because the two Garmin ranges answer it differently.
- ECHOMAP UHD2 - Garmin Navionics+ for UK and Ireland is already loaded, with a year of daily updates. Nothing else to buy before your first trip
- GPSMAP - a worldwide basemap only. That is a coarse global outline, so a Garmin Navionics+ or BlueChart g3 card is needed as well as the display
- Vision+ is the optional step up on either range: it adds relief shading, satellite and aerial harbour imagery and 3D views
- Charts keep working when a subscription lapses - you stop receiving updates, you do not lose the cartography
What arrives, and what you will still need
You may also need
Not sure which Garmin fits your boat?
Radar or no radar, 12 V or 24 V, transom or through-hull - a two-minute conversation usually saves a return. We have been fitting marine electronics at Fox's Marina since 1927.
