Garmin ECHOMAP™ UHD2 9" Chartplotter, 95sv without Transducer
Product Code: GA010-02690-10
The Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 95sv is a 9" touchscreen chartplotter with keyed assist, supplied with Garmin Navionics+ charts for the UK and Ireland already loaded, plus a year of daily chart updates through the ActiveCaptain app.
It combines multi-band GPS, an NMEA 2000 port and 500 W of built-in sonar — traditional CHIRP, ClearVü and SideVü — in a single IPX7-rated display. The tilt mount and quick-release cradle are supplied; flush mounting is supported with a separate kit.
- 9" touchscreen with keyed assist, 1024 x 600
- Garmin Navionics+ UK & Ireland preloaded, with one year of daily updates
- 500 W traditional CHIRP, ClearVü and SideVü sonar — transducer required
- Multi-band GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou at 10 Hz
- NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and ActiveCaptain. No NMEA 0183 port
- 9 to 18 Vdc — a 24 V system needs a converter
- 1.3 kg, IPX7, 264 x 166 x 80 mm
UK models are supplied without a transducer, which lets you pair the display with the through-hull, in-hull or transom fitting that suits your boat rather than the transom mount bundled overseas. Garmin part number 010-02690-10.
What this model does - and what it does not
Most Garmin content online describes the North American models. This is what the UK unit on our shelf actually does, taken from Garmin's own published specifications.
Included
- ✓Garmin Navionics+ UK & Ireland charts, preloadedReady to navigate out of the box. Includes one year of daily chart updates via ActiveCaptain.
- ✓NMEA 2000 network portLEN 1. Connects to wind, depth, AIS, engine data and the rest of the bus.
- ✓Autopilot controlDrives a compatible Garmin autopilot over NMEA 2000.
- ✓Fusion audio controlIncluding Fusion PartyBus and compatible third-party NMEA 2000 stereos.
- ✓Wi-Fi, ActiveCaptain and wireless sharingShare sonar and waypoints with a second UHD2 or Ultra 2 with no cable between them.
- ✓Traditional CHIRP, ClearVü and SideVü500 W, to 701 m at 77 kHz. Transducer required.
Not supported
- ✗Radar - not on any ECHOMAP UHD2The network port reaches Panoptix, GCV and other ECHOMAP units only. If you want radar, you need a GPSMAP.
- ✗NMEA 0183There is no 0183 port and the power cable is two-wire. Older DSC VHF, AIS or instruments need an NMEA 2000 gateway.
- ✗24 V power9 to 18 Vdc only. A 24 V boat needs a converter - the GPSMAP range takes 10 to 32 Vdc.
- ✗TransducerUK models are display-only. See the transducer guide below before you choose one.
- ✗Video inputNo composite video in for a stern or engine-room camera.
- ✗Forward-looking sonarClearVü and SideVü image what you have already passed over, never what is ahead.
What you get on a 9 inch screen
Touch, plus keys
A 1024 x 600 touchscreen with keyed assist - so you can still work it wearing gloves, in spray, or bouncing offshore.
Three sonars built in
Traditional CHIRP for depth, ClearVü for a photo-like view below, SideVü for a swath either side. 500 W.
ActiveCaptain over Wi-Fi
Chart updates, software updates, harbour and hazard reports from the community, and waypoints synced from your phone.
Charts already loaded
Garmin Navionics+ UK & Ireland with 1 ft contours, Auto Guidance+ and depth shading, plus a year of daily updates.
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.
UHD2
The second-generation ECHOMAP hardware - new display, new interface, Wi-Fi sharing. It is a new unit, not a new sonar. UHD itself means Garmin's Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar at 0.8 to 1.2 MHz.
9
Screen size in inches. The UHD2 range runs 5, 6, 7 and 9 inch. Above it, ECHOMAP Ultra 2 starts at 10 inch.
5
A cartography code, not a spec level - and it means different things in different markets. Garmin's own spec sheet lists 93sv as U.S. lakes, 94sv as U.S. coastal, and 95sv as UK/Ireland here but Canada, Australia and New Zealand elsewhere. Ours is the UK one.
sv
s = SideVü and ClearVü. A cv model has ClearVü only. No suffix at all - like the GPSMAP 923 - means no built-in sounder.

Which of these sonars will you actually use?
We sell to more cruising sailors than anglers, so here is the honest version rather than the tournament-fishing version.
Traditional CHIRP
Sweeps a range of frequencies in one transmission rather than pinging a single note, which separates targets far more cleanly. This is your depth sounder - water under the keel, and a read on whether the bottom is sand, weed or rock.
Garmin ClearVü
Down-scanning. A thin fore-and-aft slice directly under the hull, rendered almost photographically. Good for picking out a wreck, a mooring block or the edge of a weed bed as you pass over it.
Garmin SideVü
Images a swath of seabed out to port and starboard. Needs slow, straight, steady running to give a clean picture. Genuinely handy hunting for a lost mooring chain; less so on passage.
Ultra High-Definition
Not a fourth sonar - it is ClearVü and SideVü run at higher frequencies. The usual trade applies: more detail, less depth. Designed around shallow, clear inshore water.

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
Every Garmin chartplotter we stock
The two rows that decide most purchases are Radar capable and Charts included.

UHD2 95sv in detail
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
Supplied
- ECHOMAP UHD2 display unit
- 12-pin sounder to 8-pin transducer cable
- Power cable
- Tilt mount with quick-release cradle
- Protective cover
- Hardware
- Documentation
Flush mounting is supported but the kit is not included. Garmin lists mounting options as bail or flush, and only the tilt mount ships in the box. The swivel base is not available for the 9 inch model.

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.
