Sonar Fishfinder
When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your
ECHOMAP Plus device can be used as a fishfinder.
For more information about which transducer is best for your
needs, go to garmin.com/transducers.
Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The
sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer
and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example,
you can view Garmin ClearVü
compatible Garmin ClearVü transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-
screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more
views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that

Split-Frequency Sonar View
In the split-frequency sonar view, the two sides of the screen
show a full-view graph of sonar data of different frequencies.
NOTE: The split-frequency sonar view requires the use of a
dual-frequency transducer.
Split-Zoom Sonar View
The split-zoom sonar view shows a full-view graph of sonar
readings, and a magnified portion of that graph, on the same
screen.
Garmin ClearVü Sonar View
NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar, you need a
compatible chartplotter or fishfinder and a compatible
transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to
garmin.com/transducers.
Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed
picture of the fishing environment around the boat in a detailed
representation of structures the boat is passing over.
Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The Garmin
ClearVü scanning sonar technology emits two narrow beams,
similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. These
beams provide a clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath
the boat.
