Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 44cv BlueChart G3 w/GT20-TM Transducer
Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 44cv BlueChart G3 w/GT20-TM Transducer — Product description
Discover Superior On-Water Performance with Advanced Sonar and Mapping
Imagine heading out for a day of fishing or cruising the coast, equipped with a compact device that delivers crystal-clear views beneath your boat and detailed charts at your fingertips. The Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 44cv with BlueChart g3 and GT20-TM transducer stands out as a reliable companion for serious anglers and boaters. Its blend of high-definition sonar imaging, customizable mapping, and intuitive controls makes every trip more productive and enjoyable.
What sets this unit apart is its ability to adapt to your needs on the water. Whether you're chasing striped bass along the Eastern Seaboard or navigating the tricky shallows of the Gulf, the preloaded coastal charts cover key areas from the East Coast to the West Coast, including the Gulf of Mexico and parts of the Great Lakes. Anglers love how it reveals fish-holding structures with unprecedented detail, helping you drop lines right where the action is.
Powerful CHIRP Sonar: See More Fish, Structures, and Bottom Details
At the heart of this combo is Garmin's renowned CHIRP traditional sonar paired with ClearVü scanning sonar, all in one GT20-TM transducer. Traditional CHIRP excels at separating targets—even closely packed schools—by transmitting a wide range of frequencies for sharper images than standard sonar. Meanwhile, ClearVü provides side-to-side scans that look almost like underwater photos, highlighting wrecks, drop-offs, and baitfish balls.
- Remarkable target separation for identifying individual fish
- Nearly photographic views of the bottom and structures
- Compatible with Minn Kota and MotorGuide trolling motors
- Depth capability up to 2,300 ft in freshwater at 77 kHz
For kayak anglers or small boat owners, the transom and trolling motor mounts make setup straightforward, ensuring you get consistent readings no matter your vessel.
Custom Mapping with Quickdraw Contours: Your Waters, Your Maps
Why settle for generic charts when you can build your own? Built-in Quickdraw Contours software generates 1-foot contour maps in real-time as you motor across your favorite spots. Spot a hot bite on a reef? Log it instantly and refine your personal library. Keep maps private or contribute to the Quickdraw Community on Garmin Connect to access crowd-sourced intel from fellow boaters.
Expand further with optional BlueChart g3 Vision or LakeVü maps via microSD, unlocking Auto Guidance for safer route planning and Depth Range Shading to visualize safe depths at a glance.
Effortless Installation and Portability
Designed for real-world use, the 4.3-inch sunlight-readable display shines even under harsh conditions, with a quick-release cradle that lets you detach the unit in seconds—no fumbling with cables. Power cords connect directly to the mount, keeping your console clean. Bail or flush mounting options fit kayaks, center consoles, or bass boats seamlessly.
Share waypoints and routes wirelessly with compatible ECHOMAP or STRIKER units, perfect for multi-boat outings or tournament teams.
