Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 74sv US Coastal and Great Lakes GN+ With GT54 Transducer

Discover the Ultimate Fishing Companion on the Water

Imagine heading out on your boat along the U.S. coast or cruising the Great Lakes, where every cast counts and spotting the perfect fishing spot makes all the difference. The Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 74sv with GT54 transducer turns that vision into reality. This 7-inch chartplotter isn't just a screen—it's your edge on the water, delivering razor-sharp sonar images and reliable navigation that help you find fish faster and explore with confidence.

Anglers rave about its intuitive touchscreen paired with physical keys for quick access, even when waves are rocking the boat or gloves are on. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow bays or tracking tuna offshore, this unit adapts to your style, providing tools that feel like an extension of your instincts.

Superior Sonar Performance That Reveals Hidden Depths

At the heart of the ECHOMAP UHD2 74sv is the included GT54-TM transducer, a powerhouse for Garmin traditional CHIRP sonar, ClearVü scanning sonar, and SideVü scanning sonar. Traditional sonar paints crisp fish arches and detailed bottom structures, while ClearVü and SideVü offer vivid, photo-like images up to 150 feet down or to the sides of your boat.

• CHIRP Traditional Sonar: Pinpoint individual fish and schools with exceptional target separation in various water conditions.
• ClearVü and SideVü: High-contrast palettes make weeds, rocks, and wrecks pop, helping you position your bait precisely where monsters hide.
• LiveScope Ready: Effortlessly add forward-facing sonar for real-time views of fish reactions to your lure.

Users often share stories of discovering submerged timber or bait balls that traditional setups missed, leading to trophy catches on outings that would otherwise be skunked.

Built-in Charts and Smart Navigation for Effortless Exploration

Preloaded with Garmin Navionics+ coastal charts covering U.S. coastal waters and the Great Lakes, you'll have access to integrated Navionics data including depth shading, spot depths, and countless points of interest.
