Garmin Protective Sun Cover f/GPSMAP® 720/720S/740/740S

The Garmin Protective Sun Cover for GPSMAP® 720/720S/740/740S is engineered for serious anglers and boaters who depend on their chartplotters in open-water conditions. After years on the water, any experienced navigator knows that prolonged UV exposure degrades LCD screens, fades display clarity, and shortens the lifespan of critical navigation equipment. This heavy-duty cover shields your Garmin GPS unit from relentless sun damage, salt spray, and glare—essential protection when you're running all-day charters, tournament fishing, or extended cruising where your GPS is your lifeline to safety and success.

Designed specifically for the GPSMAP 720 and 740 series plotters, this cover combines durable UV-resistant material with a streamlined fit that does not obstruct viewing angles or access to transducer connectors and power inputs. The protective fabric blocks harmful solar radiation while allowing enough light transmission to check critical waypoints and chart updates without removal. Its compact 6 x 1 x 12-inch footprint and lightweight 0.3-pound design make it practical for permanent mount installations or portable storage in your tackle bag, ensuring you always have protection ready whether docked or underway.

This cover is compatible across the entire GPSMAP 720 and 740 lineup—including the 720S and 740S variants—making it a universal solution for modern Garmin installations on center consoles, cabin cruisers, and bay boats. Installation is straightforward: simply slide the cover over your mounted unit when not in active use or during extended idle periods. Professional guides, charter captains, and tournament anglers rely on sun covers to extend equipment life and maintain display contrast in bright conditions, making this an indispensable accessory for anyone who takes their navigation seriously.
