The Garmin CHIRP Difference
The built-in sonar capabilities of echoMAP 54cv include CHIRP sonar, the most sophisticated sonar technology available for the fishing and boating public. CHIRP sonar provides amazingly clear target separation and definition because it puts even more energy onto the target than traditional sonar. It 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 HomePort planning software. Use the user data sharing cable to share waypoints and routes between multiple devices.

Clear Scanning Sonar Images
Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar gives you a nearly photographic, wide image of what passes below your boat. You clearly see structure, submerged objects and fish. Traditional Garmin HD-ID sonar and ClearVü scanning sonar are combined into 1 transducer. Also provides HD-ID support for Minn Kota and MotorGuide trolling motors with integrated transducers.

Preloaded BlueChart g2 Charts
echoMAP is preloaded with BlueChart g2 charts covering the coastal U.S. (east coast, west coast, Gulf of Mexico, U.S. and the Canadian side of the Great Lakes). Tidal and current stations, depth contours, IALA nav symbols and fishing charts are included.

Heading and Position Refreshed 5 Times per Second
Fast, responsive 5 Hz GPS and GLONASS refreshes your position and heading 5 times each second to make your movement on the screen more fluid. Now it’s quick and easy to drop up to 5,000 accurate waypoints and find your way back to your secret fishing hot spots.
