This new model offered by Garmin has a bright 7-inch screen and is perfectly readable in direct sunlight. It includes a Garmin model GT20 transducer that combines traditional CHIRP probe technology as well as the CHIRP ClearVü structure scanning probe.
A standard world basemap is pre-installed and has the ability to view BlueChart g2 HD and BlueChart G2 Vision HD charts. As a great novelty and main feature in this range of equipment, it includes the Quickdraw Contours map software that enables the user to create and store personalized fishing maps on the screen while fishing, with 30-centimeter contours. Another great feature is the integrated Wi-Fi connectivity that makes it possible to link with the free application for ActiveCaptain mobile device and that allows access to OneChart, from where you can purchase and download new cards. ActiveCaptain also provides access to smart notifications, the ActiveCaptain community for information on marinas and other points of interest, Quickdraw community data, and more.
The kit comes with a quick-dismounting surface mount bracket, for easier maneuvering to remove and transport the device. Brackets for aft mirror mounting and electric drag motor are included.
What's New in Garmin CHIRP
ECHOMAP CHIRP 72hp integrated sonar technologies integrate the traditional CHIRP sonar, even more sophisticated and precise than previous traditional sonar, allowing for impressively clear separation and definition of targets thanks to focusing on targets even more than probes traditional. In addition, it offers compatibility with traditional probe for electric trailing motors Minn Kota and MotorGuide, with integrated transducers.
Scanning probes that deliver sharp images
The Garmin CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar provides an almost photographic quality image of what is under the boat. You will be able to visualize structures, submerged objects and fish with total clarity. Garmin's traditional CHIRP sonar and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar are combined in a single transducer.
Create your own maps with Quickdraw Contours
Custom fishing maps can be created instantly on-screen, with 30-centimeter contours, and modified based on preference. The maps are your property and you can save or share them with the Garmin Connect Quickdraw community.
Connect with ActiveCaptain app
The free all-in-one ActiveCaptain mobile app will let you manage your nautical experiences from virtually anywhere. It enables an easy and powerful connection between your compatible mobile device and your plotters, charts and maps, as well as with the community. Thanks to the Wi-Fi connectivity built into the Echomap Plus, you can link it with the free ActiveCaptain application to access OneChart, from where you can update, or purchase and download new cards. ActiveCaptain will provide access to smart notifications, the ActiveCaptain community for information on marinas and other points of interest, Quickdraw community data, and more.
SailAssist Features
SailAssist features include laylines, improved compass rose, heading lines, and GPS heading. You'll be able to see actual and apparent wind speed and angle, as well as direction and drift, at a glance. To help you optimize the action of the wind in order to obtain a greater competitive advantage, a pre-race indications page has been incorporated that shows the virtual starting line of the boat, as well as data fields that include the laylines, the time available before starting and a timer.
Enjoy more options in the water with the best maps
Jump to BlueChart g2 HD or BlueChart g2 Vision HD, which incorporate Auto Ruta and other extraordinary features. A single microSD card slot allows memory expansion for maps purchased as accessories. Or acquire maps with OneChart through the ActiveCaptain app and automatically sync your compatible chartplotter, without the need for an SD card.
NMEA 2000 Network Compatibility

Take your ECHOMAP Plus with you
It is very easy to keep your ECHOMAP Plus chartplotter / probe protected when you are not in the water. No more cumbersome process of plugging and unplugging cables from the unit, because they connect directly to the bracket. This makes it easy to install and remove your ECHOMAP Plus from the stand, as well as disconnect it from the power.
