Garmin Striker Vivid 5cv 5 Fishfinder GPS Track Plotter No Transducer
Garmin Striker Vivid 5cv 5 Fishfinder GPS Track Plotter No Transducer — Product description
Discover Crystal-Clear Views Beneath the Waves
Imagine heading out on the water, your eyes locked on a vibrant 5-inch display that brings the underwater world to life in stunning detail. The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5cv fishfinder elevates your angling game with seven vivid color palettes, each tailored to highlight fish and structures against murky depths or clear shallows. Whether you're chasing bass in shallow bays or trolling for walleye offshore, this compact powerhouse delivers the clarity you need to pinpoint your next big catch.
Without a transducer included, you have the freedom to pair it with the perfect sonar setup for your boat, kayak, or ice rig. This flexibility means customizing your system for specific fishing styles—from high-frequency scans for precise baitfish schools to wider sweeps for structure hunting.
Powerful Sonar Options for Every Condition
At the heart of the STRIKER Vivid 5cv lies versatile sonar technology. Support for traditional CHIRP frequencies (mid and high bands) combined with ClearVü scanning sonar paints a photorealistic picture of what's below. Fish arches pop against the bottom, wrecks reveal hidden nooks, and weed lines stand out sharply—thanks to the customizable vivid colors that cut through clutter like never before.
- AutoGain Technology: Automatically adjusts sensitivity to show more targets and less noise, perfect for beginners or quick setups.
- A-Scope: Real-time vertical flasher view lets you see fish as they pass through the beam, ideal for ice fishing or jigging.
- Bottom Lock: Focuses solely on the bottom return for precise depth readings in deep water.
- Fish Symbols: Helps distinguish real targets from debris, boosting confidence in your reads.
Log water temperature data to track thermoclines where fish congregate, giving you an edge in changing conditions.
GPS Navigation: Never Lose Your Honey Hole
Built-in high-sensitivity GPS isn't just for getting there—it's your secret weapon for repeatability. Mark up to 5,000 waypoints for those productive spots, then navigate back with 100 savable routes. Track your boat's speed and course over ground (COG) to optimize trolling patterns.
The real magic? Quickdraw Contours software creates personalized bathymetric maps with 1-foot contours on the fly. Store up to 2 million acres of your own custom charts, revealing contours where preloaded maps fall short. Whether mapping a local lake or unfamiliar reservoir, you'll build a library of intel that grows with every trip.
Rugged Build for Real-World Waters
Designed for the demands of serious anglers, this unit measures a portable 7.4" x 4.5" x 2.1" and weighs just 1 lb. The IPX7 water rating shrugs off submersion, while the tilt/swivel mount (plus transom and trolling motor hardware) ensures rock-solid positioning. Run it off 12V power with a modest 0.40A draw—efficient enough for long days without draining batteries.
Crisp WVGA color display (800 x 480 pixels) shines in sunlight, with split-screen zoom for simultaneous sonar and GPS views.

Pro Tips to Maximize Your STRIKER Vivid 5cv
For bass anglers, switch to high CHIRP for tight separation in 10-50 feet of water. Walleye hunters love ClearVü over reefs to spot suspended fish. Always experiment with color palettes: yellows excel in stained water, blues in clear. Use split-screen during tournaments to monitor sonar while GPS guides you to waypoints. Over time, Quickdraw maps will transform guesswork into precision, especially on private ponds or remote lakes.
