Overview
The Garmin 010-11409-20 is a protective sun cover that fits GPSMAP 720/720S and GPSMAP 740/740S chartplotters.
When the boat is on the dock, on a mooring, or being trailered, the helm can sit in direct sun for hours. This cover goes over the front of the unit so the display face stays shaded and cleaner between trips.
It is a simple, non-electrical accessory that helps reduce day-to-day wear on a chartplotter that lives outside in a cockpit or open helm.
Key features
- Made specifically for Garmin GPSMAP 720, GPSMAP 720S, GPSMAP 740, and GPSMAP 740S units
- Covers the display face to cut down on direct sunlight exposure while the unit is not in use
- Helps keep dust, salt film, and dockside grime off the screen between cleanings
- No wiring, no network integration, and no impact on your 12V or 24V electrical system
- Adds a protective layer over the front of the unit during storage and transport to help avoid scuffs from casual contact
Compatibility and fit
Compatibility is limited to GPSMAP 720, GPSMAP 720S, GPSMAP 740, and GPSMAP 740S. It is not a universal cover, so it will not fit other GPSMAP sizes or generations that use a different bezel shape.
Installation and on-board use
Use the cover when the chartplotter is parked at the dock, during storage, or anytime the helm will sit in sun for an extended period. Remove the cover before operating the unit so the touchscreen and keys are fully accessible and the display is unobstructed.
This is a good match for boats that live outside, run frequently in bright conditions, or spend a lot of time in slip life where the electronics stay mounted year-round.
Maintenance and care
Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners and solvents that can dull the surface over time.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund.
