New Garmin RapidReturn sonar is the first
to deliver live images up to 1,000' below the surface
OLATHE,
Kan., Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN), the world's most innovative and recognized marine
electronics manufacturer, today unveiled the
Panoptix™ PS70, the latest addition to its
award-winning live sonar lineup. Powered by Garmin
RapidReturn™ sonar technology, the PS70 gives anglers a
real-time view of what's below the surface at greater depths than
ever before. The fastest live sonar at 1,000' on the market today
provides a smooth, video-like view that updates a minimum of 10
frames per second – 6 to 8 times faster than the leading competitor
at 1,000' depth. See it in action here.
"Anglers have never seen live sonar images at depths like
this or at this speed. Its wide sonar beam covers more of the water
column at once and enables a quicker survey of the ocean floor in
greater detail and can even show you where the targets are located,
so it will take anglers less time to find bait, fish and structure
– truly a game-changer for deep-sea sportfishing." –
Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer
Sales
See fish live, catch fish deep
Garmin RapidReturn sets the standard for offshore live sonar –
from small baitfish to target game fish – in real-time at depths up
to 1,000'. With an 800-watt power output, the PS70 gives anglers
stronger sonar penetration through the water and delivers four
unique sonar modes that can be easily adjusted to fit a wide array
of fishing techniques:
- LiveVü™ Down – Anglers can see small baitfish
and target game fish in real-time up to 1,000' below the boat,
while the wide 120-degree beam angle covers huge areas of
water.
- Traditional Sonar – Crisp, clear fish arches with
excellent separation of targets under the boat.
- Triple-Beam – A three-way traditional sonar split that
gives returns from the port, straight down and starboard in an
easy-to-understand traditional sonar view. Adjust the beam angles
to fine-tune the three columns of sonar data.
- RealVü™ 3D Historical – Historical scanning
technology helps find fish and build a map of the ocean floor while
the boat is moving. It shows the entire water column in 3D, from
the bottom to the surface and all fish in between. The True Motion
3D sonar returns feature follows the vessel's course over the
ground.
The stainless steel thru-hull PS70 transducer is also equipped
with image stabilization that allows it to continuously adjust the
sonar beams to compensate for boat motion, so even in rough
conditions, anglers will still see a steady sonar image.
Quick on the draw
Nobody knows the waters better than the anglers that fish them,
and now with the PS70, it's faster than ever before for anglers to
survey the ocean floor in amazing detail. Thanks to enhanced
QuickDraw Contours™, anglers can survey wide areas at depths
up to 1,000' below the surface, making it easy to view and store
detailed contour maps in real time. Users have the option to
contribute their data to the QuickDraw Community so it can be
integrated into Garmin Navionics+ charts, or keep their contours
saved to their chartplotter.
The PS70 transducer can be flush or pocket mounted. It's
available now with a suggested retail price of $4,799.99, or as a bundle that includes a fairing
block to allow for deadrise angles of 0 to 20 degrees and mounting
hardware for $4,999.99. It's
compatible with a wide range of Garmin GPSMAP®
chartplotters; click here for a full list of compatible
