Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN),
today announced the ECHOMAP™ Ultra series, a new line of
keyed-assist 10- and 12-inch touchscreen chartplotters designed to
bring professional performance to inland and nearshore anglers.
Offering a best-in-class sonar solution, the ECHOMAP Ultra series
has built-in support for Garmin’s crystal-clear Ultra
High-Definition scanning sonar as well as the award-winning
Panoptix LiveScope™ series, including the new single-array LVS12,
that delivers live scanning sonar images of structure, bait and
fish swimming below and around the boat in real time. Preloaded
with Garmin’s latest and most detail-rich cartography—both LakeVü
g3 maps and BlueChart® g3 charts with integrated Navionics® data
and Auto Guidance1 technology— the ECHOMAP Ultra series has the
power and functionality to meet the demands of today’s anglers.

“ECHOMAP Ultra forges the DNA of our popular ECHOMAP Plus series
together with premium features of our best-in-class GPSMAP®
chartplotters, to deliver an exciting new series that brings
professional performance to larger, more affordable display
options,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin worldwide vice president of
consumer sales. “These new chartplotters are the perfect solution
for anglers who want the best sonar and mapping available, but
still want the convenience of an all-in-one design that can be
quickly installed and removed from the boat at the end of the
day.”
For crystal-clear scanning of fish and structure, the ECHOMAP
Ultra 106sv and ECHOMAP Ultra 126sv are available
bundled with the new Ultra High-Definition GT54UHD-TM all-in-one
transducer that provides the highest ClearVü™ and SideVü scanning
sonar images and amazingly clear high wide CHIRP traditional sonar.
For extended range and depth performance, the GT54UHD-TM’s SideVü
operates at 455 kHz. ECHOMAP Ultra chartplotters are also
compatible with the full line of Panoptix™ all-seeing sonar
transducers, including the new Panoptix LiveScope LVS12 and the
Panoptix LiveScope System, so anglers can see real-time sonar
imagery at video-like speed. The new ECHOMAP Ultra 106sv and
ECHOMAP Ultra 126sv are also available without a bundled
transducer.
These new chartplotters are the first in the ECHOMAP product
line to offer both LakeVü g3 and BlueChart g3 cartography products
for the U.S. and Bahamas built-in for inland and near-shore boating
and fishing. The new g3 maps and charts blend the best of both
Garmin and Navionics content together to deliver unparalleled
coverage, detail and convenience to users with navigational aids,
spot soundings, depth contours, tides and currents, artificial
reefs and fish attractors and detailed harbors and marinas. The new
g3 cartography also integrates Garmin Auto Guidance, a technology
that searches through relevant charts to create a suggested route
based upon the user’s desired depth and overhead clearance. For
international use, the ECHOMAP Ultra 102sv and ECHOMAP Ultra 122sv
are available with a worldwide basemap.
For the most detailed data, the new LakeVü g3 Ultra and
BlueChart g3 Vision and accessory cards and downloads are also
available for the ECHOMAP Ultra series and, for the first time,
offer new high-resolution relief shading that combines color and
shadow to give anglers an easy-to-interpret, clearer view of bottom
structure than contour lines alone.
Staying connected on and off the water with the ECHOMAP Ultra
series is easier than before. On the water, sonar, waypoints and
routes can be shared across multiple ECHOMAP Ultra units as well as
ECHOMAP Plus 7- and 9-inch units. The new ECHOMAP Ultra series also
has NMEA® 2000 connectivity and support for heading sensors,
autopilots, digital switching and more. And thanks to built-in
Wi-Fi®, anglers can take advantage of the free all-in-one Garmin
ActiveCaptain® mobile app that creates a simple yet powerful
connection between a compatible mobile device and an ECHOMAP Ultra.
ActiveCaptain allows users to update and purchase maps and charts
from the OneChart™ storefront on a mobile device anytime, reference
the ActiveCaptain community for marina and other points of interest
details, access to Quickdraw™ Community data and more.
ActiveCaptain also provides smart notifications2 directly to
the chartplotter, over-the-air software updates, off-vessel
planning capabilities and so much more.
The ECHOMAP Ultra series is expected to be available in Q2 2019
with suggested retail prices ranging from $1599.99 to $2799.99. For
