GPSMAP 723 - 7" chartplotter with worldwide mapping

The Garmin GPSMAP 723 is an advanced chartplotter featuring a 7-inch touchscreen. It ships without an integrated depth sounder but includes worldwide cartography. This model is designed for extensive network integration, allowing connection to cameras and other marine equipment for optimized navigation.

No, the Garmin GPSMAP 723 is specified as sounder-less. This means it has no integrated depth or fish detection capabilities. If you require fishfinder functions, you will need to consider a different model or add a compatible external transducer.

Yes, if your dashboard was cut for a GPSMAP 7x2, 9x2 or 12x2 chartplotter, you can use an adapter plate (sold separately) to convert the opening and install a GPSMAP 7x3, 9x3 or 12x3. The adapter plate installation instructions will guide you to mark and drill new holes if needed.

For a flush-mount installation, the required cutout for the GPSMAP 723 is 148.4 mm (5 13/16 in) wide by 118.8 mm (4 11/16 in) high. It is strongly recommended to use the mounting template provided in the product box to ensure precise cutting and avoid damaging the unit or voiding the warranty.

Yes, the GPSMAP 723 supports integration with third-party network cameras, including FLIR cameras. You can view the video stream on the chartplotter screen and even control certain camera functions (zoom, pan, tilt) via the touchscreen. To connect standard Ethernet devices, such as a network camera, to a Garmin marine network, a Garmin PoE isolation coupler (part number 010-10580-10) is required.

The GPSMAP 723 supports several camera tracking functions, provided the appropriate cameras and sensors are connected via the Garmin marine network or NMEA 2000. These functions include:

Compass lock: Keeps the camera fixed on a specific heading.Ship lock: Locks the camera to a fixed angle relative to the vessel.Target tracking (AIS, MARPA) or waypoint tracking: Allows the camera to be directed at specific targets.For compass lock and ship lock, a compatible camera, GPS antenna, and heading sensor are required. For AIS/MARPA tracking, a compatible AIS receiver or compatible radar device is also required.

The Garmin GPSMAP 723 chartplotter features a 7-inch touchscreen display, providing a clear and responsive interface for navigation.

No, the GPSMAP 723 model is specified as 'sounders not included.' It does not feature a depth sounder or any integrated sounder functionalities.

Yes, the GPSMAP 723 comes with a preloaded worldwide chartplotter base map, allowing you to navigate various maritime areas immediately after installation.

Yes, the GPSMAP 723 supports integration of third-party network cameras. However, to connect a standard Ethernet device (such as a network camera) to the Garmin marine network, you must use a Garmin PoE isolation coupler (part number 010-10580-10). Directly connecting a PoE device to the Garmin chartplotter could damage the unit.

Yes, the GPSMAP 723 is compatible with FLIR marine cameras from the M and MD series. When you connect a compatible FLIR camera, the network detects it automatically and displays it in the source list without requiring any pre-configuration.

The GPSMAP 723 is designed for flush-mount installation. A mounting template is included in the product box to simplify this installation. It is recommended to use this template rather than printing your own to ensure precise cutting.

Yes, if your dashboard was cut for a GPSMAP 7x2, 9x2 or 12x2 chartplotter, you can use an adapter plate (sold separately) to convert the opening and install a GPSMAP 7x3, 9x3 or 12x3.

Yes, the GPSMAP 723 supports camera tracking. This includes features such as heading lock (Compass Lock), vessel lock (Vessel Lock), and tracking of AIS, MARPA targets, or waypoints (slew-to-cue). Specific sensors and cameras are required to enable these functions.

To use Compass Lock and Vessel Lock functions, you must connect the following to the chartplotter:

A marine camera compatible with tracking (e.g., a newer FLIR IP video camera).A GPS antenna.A heading sensor (for optimal performance, a 9-axis heading sensor providing data on yaw, pitch, and roll is recommended).

For optimal network performance, Garmin recommends not streaming more than five video sources simultaneously. You can configure split screens to display multiple videos at once, but only one video function per split screen can use an integrated composite video input.

Yes, you can control compatible FLIR cameras directly from the GPSMAP 723 chartplotter’s touchscreen. This includes touch gestures like pinching to zoom and swiping to pan and tilt the camera. You can also set up on-screen presets for each camera.

For a flush-mount installation of the GPSMAP 723, the required cutout on the mounting surface is 180.6 mm (7 1/8 in) in width and 118.8 mm (4 11/16 in) in height. It is critical to use the template provided with the product to ensure precise cutting and avoid damage.

Yes, current Garmin chartplotters, including the 723, feature an integrated video encoder. This allows them to share connected video via their composite video inputs across all chartplotter displays connected to the Garmin marine network.
