Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv

8.6 Cast & Cruise score

The 73sv is the 7-inch UHD2 touchscreen with keyed assist. Garmin lists the no-transducer inland unit at $899.99. The Amazon listing we checked is the GT54 bundle, which is the version most small-boat buyers actually want.

Best for: Small dashes that want UHD2 touchscreen charting and UHD ClearVü / SideVü without stepping up to the 9-inch 93sv
