New chartplotters offer premium sonar and
mapping, wireless networking and more
OLATHE,
Kan., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN), the world's most innovative and recognized marine
electronics manufacturer, today announced the
ECHOMAP™ Ultra 2 chartplotter series designed
with advanced features for inland and nearshore anglers. Offering a
10- or 12-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen with keyed assist,
they put UHD scanning sonar, preloaded Garmin
Navionics+™ mapping with an included 1-year subscription
for daily updates, wireless networking capabilities and more at an
angler's fingertips.
"Professional anglers and weekend warriors alike have for
years relied on the ECHOMAP Ultra series to provide superior sonar
and mapping with a touchscreen design that can be quickly installed
and removed from the boat at the end of the day. With the addition
of wireless networking, multi-band GPS and a new user interface,
the new ECHOMAP Ultra 2 series is even more versatile and easier to
use than before." –Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer
Sales
Combining power and functionality, the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 series
will meet the demands of today's angler with exciting new features,
including:
- Wireless Networking: Share sonar1, waypoints
and routes with another ECHOMAP Ultra 2 or ECHOMAP UHD2
chartplotter on the boat, reducing the need to drill extra holes in
the boat, while also keeping the deck space free from the clutter
of extra cables.
- Position Accuracy: Multi-band GPS technology with fast
10Hz updates not only provides improved position accuracy, which
can benefit anglers particularly in areas like under bridges, along
bluffs or in coves with tree cover.
- Screen Recording: Using the ActiveCaptain®
app, capture what's on the chartplotter screen, including fish
catches seen on LiveScope™ sonar (if installed) to share
via text or social media.
- Ease of Use: Featuring a modernized operating system
with updated graphics, menus and a new homepage, anglers will
appreciate how intuitive and easy-to-use the Ultra 2 series
is.
For nearly photographic images of fish and structure, the Ultra
2 chartplotters are available bundled with a GT56UHD all-in-one
transducer that provides Garmin CHIRP traditional sonar and Ultra
High-Definition ClearVü™ and SideVü™ scanning
images of what's below and to the sides of the boat. The new series
also supports the full lineup of Garmin's award-winning LiveScope
live-scanning sonar.
Available in two sizes, the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv with a
10-inch display and ECHOMAP Ultra 2 126sv with a 12-inch
display, the new series offers unparalleled mapping coverage and
detail for both coastal and inland waters with built-in Garmin
Navionics+. In addition to the included 1-year subscription for
daily updates, Garmin Navionics+ also offers depth range shading
and Auto Guidance+2 for faster route calculation speeds
of suggested pathways. Anglers can also upgrade to Garmin Navionics
Vision+™ premium mapping, which offers high-resolution
relief shading and more. To instantly create personalized fishing
maps, the series also includes built-in Quickdraw
Contours™ mapping software to deliver HD maps with
1-foot contours on any body of water.
When wirelessly integrated with a Garmin
Force® trolling motor, anglers can create routes,
patterns and tracks for the trolling motor to follow while they
fish. From the chartplotter screen, they can also control speed,
check battery life and more.
See how the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 series can help you tell a new
fish story.
Expected to be available next month, the ECHOMAP Ultra 2
chartplotters include a quick-release mount for fast and easy
mobility, and they are sold with or without a GT56UHD-TM
transducer. Suggested retail prices ranging from $1899.99 to $3099.99 To learn more, visit
