Unlock Deeper Waters and Sharper Insights on Every Trip
Imagine gliding across a glassy lake at dawn, your boat humming softly as the massive 12-inch touchscreen lights up with crystal-clear images of fish schools darting around submerged timber. That’s the everyday reality with this powerhouse chartplotter and sonar system. Designed for serious anglers who demand precision without compromise, it combines a vibrant, sunlight-readable display with cutting-edge sonar tech to reveal what’s lurking below—even in the murkiest conditions.
Beyond basic fishfinding, this unit transforms your vessel into a smart command center. Share sonar views across multiple screens, plot custom routes that hug shorelines safely, and even steer your trolling motor directly from the helm. It’s not just gear; it’s your edge in competitive fishing tournaments or family outings where every cast counts.
Superior Sonar That Paints the Perfect Picture
The bundled GT56UHD-TM transducer isn’t your average probe—it’s a game-changer with Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar. Operating at multiple frequencies, including 800 kHz for ClearVü and an impressive 1,200 kHz for SideVü, it delivers razor-sharp down and side views up to 20% farther than previous models. Spot baitfish hugging the bottom or structure hidden 100 feet to either side, all in vivid, high-contrast colors that pop against the backdrop.
Pair it with CHIRP traditional sonar for wide-area coverage, and you’ll distinguish individual fish from weeds or rocks effortlessly. In real-world scenarios, like bass fishing in weedy bays, this detail means fewer empty hooks and more limits in the livewell. Plus, compatibility with LiveScope systems (sold separately) opens doors to real-time forward-facing sonar for ice-cold strikes on suspended walleye.
Crisp UHD Imaging: Three scanning frequencies for unmatched clarity at any depth.
Custom Palettes: Tailor colors to your eyes for faster target ID in varied lighting.
Custom Mapping That Evolves With Your Adventures
Why settle for static charts when you can build your own? Quickdraw Contours lets you generate 1-foot contour maps on the fly as you troll your favorite river bend or coastal flat. Refine them with depth shading, vegetation overlays, or hardness metrics to match local quirks—like that hidden ledge where crappie stack up in spring.
Upgrade with coastal or inland charts featuring Auto Guidance+ to suggest safe paths around shoals, saving hours of trial-and-error navigation. The worldwide basemap gets you started, but your personalized data stays private or joins the Quickdraw Community for collective intel that sharpens everyone’s game.
Seamless Networking for Multi-Screen Mastery
Running a multi-station setup? Wire up several units via Garmin Marine Network to mirror sonar, charts, and waypoints instantly. Add NMEA 2000 peripherals like engine monitors, AIS for collision avoidance, or Fusion audio to control tunes without leaving the screen.
From the dock or offshore, the ActiveCaptain app keeps you connected via Wi-Fi. Push software updates, snag community maps, or get smart notifications—all without firing up the boat. It’s like having a marine tech support team in your pocket, ensuring you’re always running the latest fish-catching firmware.
Built Tough for Real Boaters, Easy to Mount Anywhere
IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off heavy spray, and the keyed-assist touchscreen shines through polarized sunglasses. The quick-release bail mount lets you snag-and-go for secure storage, with flush options for sleek installs. Power draw stays efficient at 26W, sipping battery life on long days chasing offshore pelagics.
Pro tip: Tilt the mount for optimal viewing angles during rough chops, and use the sonar rewind to replay that epic school you just motored past—perfect for dialing in presentations on the fly.
