Powered by RapidReturn sonar with next-gen
xCHIRP technology, the GSD 28 provides Garmin's
clearest and most detailed fish arch returns
OLATHE,
Kan., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN), the world's most innovative and recognized marine
electronics manufacturer, today announced the GSD™ 28,
a high-powered sonar module engineered for serious sportfishing.
Featuring Garmin RapidReturn™ sonar, the GSD 28 provides
more sonar data on the multi-function display with up to 6 times
the transmit rate of its predecessor so anglers can see more detail
than ever before. And thanks to Garmin's new xCHIRP sonar
technology, the GSD 28 provides higher resolution with excellent
target separation and bottom discrimination to help anglers easily
distinguish bottom features from bait or sport fish.

sonar
"Garmin's digital sonar modules have been trusted for
off-shore, high-powered sonar by anglers for nearly two decades,
and the GSD 28 adds new and innovative features to set the standard
once again for saltwater sportfishing. Our RapidReturn and xCHIRP
technologies combine to provide deep-sea anglers crisper, clearer
and more sonar returns in deeper waters, which can be the
difference between finding and missing your targets." –Dan
Bartel, Garmin Vice President of
Global Consumer Sales
The depths revealed
Garmin's RapidReturn sonar sends multiple sonar signals through
the water column simultaneously, which results in much more sonar
information to quickly see on the multi-function display. This
allows anglers to view fresher, more relevant sonar returns and see
more detail of what's below the boat. The xCHIRP sonar technology
provides crisp, clear fish arches with excellent target
separation.
The GSD 28 supports dual-channel (1-3 kW) CHIRP covering a broad
frequency range between 25-250 kHz, which helps create a more
detailed picture of what's below, including fish on the ocean
bottom and objects in the water column.
Robust design
Optimized for sportfishing, the GSD 28 is designed to withstand
harsh marine environments, including high winds, rain and sunlight,
and is water-resistant with an IPX7 rating. When the waters get
rough, the RapidReturn sonar can be paired to the optional
MSC™ 10 external satellite compass (sold
separately) to ensure that wave and swell sea conditions don't
interfere with the sonar returns through heave compensation.
The versatile GSD 28 is compatible with a wide range of Garmin
and AIRMAR® transducers that can be manually or
automatically configured, giving the user extraordinary flexibility
when configuring their sonar screen. It's compatible with the new
GPSMAP® 9000 series, along with the GPSMAP
8600/8600xsv, GPSMAP 7x3/9x3/12x3 and GPSMAP 10x2/12x2 series
chartplotters.
Available now, the GSD 28 has a suggested retail price of
$2,999.99. Learn more about Garmin's
