Unlock Peak Fishing Performance with Intuitive Controls

Imagine gliding across the water, your eyes locked on a massive 12-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen that responds effortlessly to your touch or key presses. This powerhouse combo unit delivers everything serious anglers crave, from crystal-clear fish arches to detailed underwater structures, all without missing a beat in rough conditions. Whether you're chasing trophy bass in shallow bays or deep-water species offshore, its keyed-assist design ensures reliable operation even with wet hands or gloves.

Superior Visibility in Any Light

The high-resolution display cuts through glare like a knife, rendering vivid colors and sharp details that help you spot the subtle differences between baitfish schools and your target catch. Anglers report seeing fish returns they've never noticed on smaller or lower-end units, turning average outings into limit-filling days.

Reveal Hidden Secrets Beneath the Surface

Pair it with your choice of Garmin transducers to unleash built-in UHD sonar capabilities. Traditional CHIRP sonar provides reliable bottom tracking, while Ultra High-Definition ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonars paint incredibly detailed images up to 20% farther than previous generations when using compatible GT56 transducers. High-contrast color palettes make it simple to differentiate rocks, weed beds, and suspended fish, even in murky water.

Livescope Ready for Real-Time Action

For those heart-pounding moments, it fully supports LiveScope all-seeing sonar (transducer sold separately). Watch live video-like feeds of fish reacting to your lure in real time—perfect for finesse techniques like drop-shotting or jigging. Pro tip: Adjust the gain and color settings based on water clarity for the cleanest images, and you'll gain an edge over competitors in tournaments.

Navigate Like a Pro with Preloaded Precision Maps

Out of the box, it arrives loaded with Garmin Navionics+ coastal and inland charts, complete with Auto Guidance+ technology that plots safe, efficient routes around obstacles. You'll get a full year of daily updates to stay current on no-wake zones, hazards, and prime fishing spots. Dive deeper with optional Vision+ upgrades for satellite overlays, sonar logs, and relief shading that make contours pop.

Customize Your Own Charts with Quickdraw Contours

Why settle for generic maps? Record your sonar data on the fly to generate 1-foot contour maps tailored to your local waters. Share them via the Quickdraw Community or keep them private for that secret honey hole. Over time, this builds a personalized library that's invaluable for repeat visits, helping you predict fish behavior based on depth changes and structure.

Stay Connected and in Control Onboard

Networking is where this unit shines—share sonar views, user data, and charts across multiple compatible Garmin displays like other ECHOMAP Ultras or Plus series units. NMEA 2000 compatibility links it to autopilots, engines, VHF radios, AIS, and even Fusion audio for a unified helm experience. Control Force trolling motors directly from the screen, following routes or waypoints with pinpoint accuracy.

ActiveCaptain App: Your Command Center

Wi-Fi connectivity pairs seamlessly with the ActiveCaptain app on your smartphone. Access OneChart for easy map swaps, receive smart notifications without glancing away, download community data, and handle software updates effortlessly. It's like having a marine expert in your pocket, streamlining planning and keeping your gear cutting-edge.

Built Tough for Real-World Boating

Quick-disconnect bail mounting means you can stow it securely when docking or trailering—no fuss with tangled cords. The flush mount option integrates cleanly into your console, and the protective cover guards against salt spray and UV damage. Anglers love how it withstands pounding waves and long days on the water without skipping a pixel.

Expert Tips to Maximize Your Investment
