Superior Sonar That Sees What Others Miss

The included GT54-TM transducer delivers a powerhouse trio of sonar technologies. Garmin's traditional CHIRP sonar paints fish arches with exceptional separation, letting you distinguish between baitfish and keepers at depths up to 800 feet or more, depending on conditions. Then there's ClearVü scanning sonar, which drops downward beams to create photo-like images of the bottom—think seeing individual rocks, submerged timber, or even brush piles where crappie love to hide. SideVü takes it further, sweeping 150-250 feet to each side of your boat with high-contrast palettes that make targets pop against the water column.

Upgrade potential? Absolutely. This unit seamlessly integrates LiveScope sonar systems for real-time forward-facing views, turning guesswork into precision trolling. The UHD2 series stands out with its vivid color schemes and noise reduction, ensuring you spend less time interpreting fuzzy screens and more time hooking up.

Mapping Mastery for Any Waters

Start with the preloaded worldwide basemap, covering coastlines, lakes, and rivers globally with enough detail for confident navigation. But the real power unlocks when you add Garmin Navionics+ or Vision+ charts—high-res bathymetry, daily updates, and advanced shading for currents and tides. BlueChart g3 coastal maps bring depth contours and port info to life, while LakeVü g3 inland charts highlight thousands of U.S. lakes with 1-foot contours.

Don't stop there: Quickdraw Contours lets you create personalized 1-foot contour maps on the fly, shared via Wi-Fi or the ActiveCaptain app. Multi-band GPS/GLONASS/Galileo reception locks in your position with sub-meter accuracy, even under tree canopies or near skyscrapers—perfect for urban fishing or backwater bays.

Seamless Connectivity Keeps You in Control

Built-in Wi-Fi means effortless sharing of waypoints, routes, and live sonar data between compatible UHD2 units—no cables, no fuss. Pair it with the ActiveCaptain app for OneChart access (buy one chart, use on multiple devices), over-the-air updates, and community-sourced intel on ramps and hotspots.

NMEA 2000 compatibility ties it all together: monitor engine data, control your autopilot, stream Pandora or Spotify, and manage lights or pumps from one vibrant 6-inch touchscreen. The keyed-assist design shines in rough water—gloved hands glide across the sunlight-readable IPS display without skipping a beat.
