Garmin Adapter Plate f/GPSMAP® 7x2 to 7x3 Series

The Garmin Adapter Plate for GPSMAP 7x2 to 7x3 Series is a bezel mounting kit that enables seamless installation of a new GPSMAP 7x3 chartplotter into the existing dashboard cutout of a GPSMAP 7x2 or 7x2 Plus unit. This adapter eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming dash modification, preserving your original installation footprint while upgrading to current-generation GPS technology.

Compatibility between GPSMAP model generations is critical in marine and outdoor applications where chartplotter replacement is necessary but dash space is limited. The 7x3 series introduces enhanced processing power and updated display technology over the 7x2 platform, yet the physical mounting footprint differs slightly. This adapter plate bridges that gap, maintaining precise alignment with your existing cutout dimensions while accommodating the 7x3's bezel profile. The mounting solution is straightforward and requires no additional fabrication or drilling—a direct swap that preserves installation integrity.

This adapter is essential for boaters, recreational fishing enthusiasts, and marine professionals who operate vessels equipped with a GPSMAP 7x2 or 7x2 Plus and seek to upgrade their navigation suite without dashboard reconstruction. It is also ideal for dealers and technicians performing field upgrades. The adapter ensures that your dashboard maintains clean aesthetics and structural integrity during the transition from legacy to current GPSMAP hardware, making it an economical choice for any upgrade scenario involving these specific Garmin models.
