Garmin Echomap UHD2 Features

No matter if you are living in warmer climates, with the latest Echomap UHD2 Chartplotters, there is no better time to think about upgrading your electronics with the newest technology to help you know water better than a local.

Featuring Wireless Networking

Now, featuring wireless networking, you can easily connect two echomap UHD2 Chartplotters together to share sonar data as well as various types of user data like waypoints, routes, and boundaries.

Button-Driven Displays

For anglers that prefer button-driven displays, you have the choice between a 5- or 7-inch chartplotter. These keyed units have an easy-to-navigate interface and a simple push-button design that is sure to make a novice angler feel like a professional.

Touch Screen Interfere

We also understand that not everyone wants to be restricted to just buttons, and that is why we are excited to tell you that we now offer the echomap UHD2 series with a 6, 7, or 9-inch responsive touchscreen display with key assist.

These hotkeys can easily be programmed to take you to your most frequently used chart combos or sonar screens, and this gives the anglers the options to customise their display in a way that accommodates their boat and fishing style.

Garmin GT-20-TM

A variety of chartplotters means a variety of transducer options. The 5-inch and 7-inch keyed units can be purchased with a GT-20 transducer capable of displaying traditional and chirp-clear view sonar returns.

Garmin GT56UHD

The 6 and 7-inch touchscreen units are offered with a GT54 Transducer all-in-one UHD transducer, and the 9-inch graph can be purchased with a GT56 Ultra High Definition Transducer.

No matter which compatible transducer you use, anglers can expect beautiful sonar returns, especially when paired with our high-contrast Vivid colour palettes.

Create Own Charts with Quick Draw Contours

If you happen to be on a body of water that doesn’t have any contour data, you can easily create your own charts with Quick Draw Contours. Simply drive your boat back and forth over the area you’re looking to record, and just like that, you now have detailed mapping that you created yourself.

Enhanced Display Clarity

I am sure you are excited to hear that the 9-inch echomap UHD2 has 50% more pixels than previous 9-inch echomaps, which means you’ll be able to see everything your chartplotter is truly capable of on a beautiful high-resolution display.

Upgraded Mounting Solutions

For the new 7 and 9-inch touch-screen units, you may notice that they now offer a familiar Quick-Disconnect bail mount that is like the simple and secure cradles used on the EchoMap Ultra series.

Simply Lock & Unlock

Simply lock and unlock the mount to remove or install your display, and that is it.

Built-in Wi-Fi Connectivity

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to do a lot more than just network units together.

It gives you the ability to create a powerful connection between your chartplotter and compatible device.

ActiveCaptain App

The free Active Captain app can access charts using the one chart feature. Receive and install software updates directly from your smart device, and even receive smart notifications on your chartplotter. As you could have expected, these touchscreen displays are compatible with Garmin’s entire live scanning sonar lineup.
