For anglers who want to see objects and structure below the boat, ClearVü provides a near-photographic view with excellent resolution and target separation in both fresh and salt water. Instead of just sending one single frequency, CHIRP sends a continuous sweep of frequencies and interprets them individually upon their return, creating crisper fish arches with better target separation. If need be, the plotter itself can be viewed and controlled from a phone or tablet, in effect giving you a second remote screen.įor crystal-clear scanning of fish and structure, the ECHOMAP Plus offers built-in CHIRP traditional sonar and CHIRP ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonar. Once the ECHOMAP Plus is powered up, the charts are instantly available on the plotter, and the user can rest assured that the software will always be updated with the latest improvements from Garmin. This makes it possible for boaters to purchase the latest chart, study it and then plan their next trip before stepping on the boat. This app also sends smart notifications directly to the plotter, as well as over-the-air software updates. This enables users with the ActiveCaptain app to access, update and purchase maps/charts from the OneChart storefront on a mobile device, and reference the ActiveCaptain community for marina and other points-of-interest details. With built-in Wi-Fi, every unit in this range can connect to a smartphone/tablet via the free all-in-one Garmin ActiveCaptain mobile app that has just been released. There is also a new keyed-assist touch screen facility on the 7″ and 9″ units, giving access to the features most likely used. The 6″ units are new to the ECHOMAP range, with more pixels and an easier screen to read than the previous 5″ model that it has replaced. Featuring bright, sunlight-readable 4″, 6″, 7″ or 9″ displays, this range of plotters is aimed at serving a large part of the market.
