An angler’s ultimate companion

• Built-in sonar: For brilliant image clarity of structure and fish below and to the sides of the boat, select models include a GT56UHD transducer, Garmin’s premium all-in-one scanning transducer that provides Ultra High-Definition ClearVü^™ and SideVü^™ sonar along with CHIRP traditional sonar.

• Multi-band GPS: Receive improved position accuracy when under bridges, along bluffs or in coves with tree cover.
• Force^® integration: Wirelessly connect to a Force trolling motor to navigate to waypoints, create and follow routes, control speed, check battery life and more.
