Clearest Scanning Sonar on the Water
Garmin DownVü scanning sonar gives you a nearly photographic image of
what passes below your boat. Garmin SideVü scanning sonar gives you a
crisp, clear view of what lies up to 750-feet off to each side of your
boat. You clearly see structure, submerged objects and fish. Traditional
Garmin HD-ID sonar and both DownVü and SideVü scanning sonar are
combined into one transducer. Also provides HD-ID support for Minn Kota
and MotorGuide trolling motors with integrated transducers. The echoMAP
74sv also includes sonar-recording capability that coordinates the
timing of the sonar return with your boat's position and saves digital
information for playback on a computer using free HomePort™ planning software. Use the User Data Sharing Cable to share waypoints and routes between multiple devices.
Preloaded BlueChart g2 maps
Covers the coastal U.S. and Bahamas – East Coast, West Coast, Gulf of
Mexico, U.S. side of the Great Lakes. Includes all U.S. charts for the
entire coastline and the Bahamas. Includes everything available on NOAA
charts. In addition to the basic charts, tidal stations, currents, depth
contours, IALA symbols and included fishing charts, BlueChart g2 offers
smooth transitioning between zoom levels and more seamless continuity
across chart boundaries. You can customize your screens with Safety
Shading which allows you to contour shade for all depth contours
shallower than what you determine is your safe depth. Fishing charts
emphasize bathymetric contours with less visual clutter on the display.
And there’s also a choice of standard 2-D direct overhead or 3-D
“over-the-bow” map views for easier chart reading and orientation.
Heading and Position Refreshed 5 Times per Second
Fast, responsive 5 Hz GPS/GLONASS refreshes your position and heading
5 times each second to make your movement on the screen more fluid. It
makes dropping up to 5,000 accurate waypoints and finding your way back
to your secret fishing hot spots quick and easy.
Take Your echoMAP with You
When you’re off the water, it’s easy to keep your echoMAP safe and
secure. You don’t have to mess with plugging and unplugging wires from
the unit because the cords plug directly into the mount. This allows you
to quickly install and remove your echoMAP from power and the mount.
Upgrade with the Best Garmin Maps on the Water
A single microSD™ card slot provides expandable memory for accessory map purchases such as LakeVü™ HD, LakeVü HD Ultra or BlueChart g2 Vision.
LakeVü HD Ultra and BlueChart g2 Vision provide exclusive Garmin Auto
Guidance that directs you right to your hot spots by instantly creating
an on-screen path based on your boat’s specifications that you can
follow to avoid shallow water and other charted obstructions.
Enhanced Auto Guidance
Just enter the location where you want to go and patented Garmin Auto
Guidance technology instantly searches through relevant charts to
create a safe virtual pathway on the display that helps you avoid low
bridges, shallow water and other charted obstructions en route.
Better still, with enhanced Version 2.0, you now have access to even
more features and capabilities. You’re able to adjust the calculated
Auto Guidance pathway by inserting “via” points at interim stops or
landmarks along your desired route. You can easily review hazard points
along your calculated path. And you can even engage your compatible
Garmin autopilot to follow the Auto Guidance route, automatically. Other
2.0 enhancements give you the ability to calculate arrival times at any
point on your route (great for timing arrivals to correspond with
bridge openings and other time-critical events). Better still, you can
now save your plotted Auto Guidance paths for future navigation by
backing them up on an SD™ card with your BlueChart® g2 Vision® or Lake
Vü™ HD Ultra cartography².
GPX Waypoints Transfer
If you have waypoints, tracks or frequently used routes stored on
another manufacturer’s GPS product – or on a Garmin handheld device –
now it’s easier than ever to transfer those items to your new Garmin
chartplotter, via industry-standard GPX software formatting. GPX is an
open standard format for GPS data exchange across platforms and
applications. With this easy-to-use interface technology, Garmin has
taken “no waypoint left behind” to a whole new level of trade-up
convenience.
¹ Applies to versions with transducer
included only. No transducer versions support 50/200 kHz, 77/200 kHz and
Garmin DownVü/SideVü transducers, sold separately. See transducer
selection guide for complete list of compatible transducers.
2BlueChart® g2 Vision® or LakeVü™ HD Ultra SD card is required for this technology.
