A recently released Garmin line are the vivid strikers, this model is a 7 inch, the strikers in addition to being chirp sounders have also incorporated a gps but not cartographic and also have the clearvu function and also the sidevu.

Echomaps are first and foremost chirp tools, what does chirp mean?

The CHIRP technology scans simultaneously high and low frequencies which, depending on the transducer connected, can go from 28 kHz up to a maximum of 210 kHz with the relative change of the reading cone, so it means that it emits more frequencies simultaneously and more frequencies rise to have a sharper and more detailed detail, with this Garmin ushered in a new era in professional fishing, ensuring better target separation and excellent resolution even at high depths.

As for the echo sounder part, we have the traditional one which would be the classic view of the seabed, then we will have the ClearVu function which allows us to obtain extremely detailed and high resolution images, almost photographic of everything that is below and on the sides of the boat. .

The SV series adds an extra feature the SideVu which allows you to see what you have under your boat from the right and left side of the boat up to 200 meters away.

As for the gps part you have a cartographic gps in addition to the cartography you can insert a virgin micro sd to be able to update your depth sounder or for screnshot or create your own personal bathymetry thanks to the Quickdraw Contours

Probe included is the GT52HW-TM is perfect for those who want an excellent traditional CHIRP sonar and a CHIRP ClearVü and CHIRP SideVü scanning sonar. This transom mount transducer displays fish arches clearly and sharply with outstanding target separation and crisp structure definition under and to the side of the boat.

The striker Plus compared to the striker has some more features that can be updated via wifi and personal bathymetry can be created

The 12-pin transducer includes a traditional broadband CHIRP sonar (150-240kHz) and a power rating of 250W. CHIRP ClearVü and CHIRP SideVü (455/800 kHz) elements have a power rating of 500W each (1,500 W total).
