Let's start with the elephant in the room. This fish finder has GPS, it does have mapping, but it doesn’t have a MicroSD card slot. You are left with what comes with your fish finder unit. Garmin doesn't offer any additional mapping.
It's all a bit overwhelming, but you can choose the features that you like because each feature has a dollar sign attached. I should open a shop called "Build a Fish Finder".
You can also design your own maps. Once you have created travel routes, you can use that information to help you plan each trip to a particular lake. You will have information about previous visits so that you can plan around them.
Before I get into the details, I want to say that many of these premium features are available for this fish finder. You might want to pull out your calculator and have it handy. If you don't want to spend more on premium features, the bare-bones models are just a basic fish finder.
Active Imaging and a 3-in-1 Transducer are included. You get superior images at deeper depths, plus all the sonar that you can think of. You can view it all simultaneously with the 6-fold splitscreen.
The GPS feature is able to integrate with AutoChart, Live Navionics, and offers 45 routes as well as 2,500 waypoints. These premium upgrades will almost always be more expensive.
A wide range of sonar options, top quality mapping, charting, and GPS technology ensures that you get a great fishfinder for a low price. SolarMAX HD touchscreen comes with six panels, some in larger sizes. It's the best-looking screen on the market, and it adapts to outside conditions.
