GARMIN STRIKER VIVID SERIES FISH FINDERS

Garmin is angling (ahem) for the fishing fraternity with its new range of Striker Vivid series fish finders. Featuring, as the name suggests, seven new vivid colour options, the new units offer a choice of 16 palettes – making it easier to distinguish fish from structures based on the user’s preferences and fishing conditions. The Vivid series comes with a built-in high-sensitivity GPS receiver, so not only can anglers see fish and the seabed below the boat, but they can also quickly mark favourite fishing spots and other areas of interest like brush piles, stumps, or docks, and return to them. Built-in GPS also allows users to plan and create routes and view their boat’s speed.

Striker Vivid users can also create their own HD fishing maps thanks to built-in Quicktour Contours mapping software. It’s a feature that makes it easy to create and store up to 2 million acres of maps with 1-foot contours. Once it’s turned on, users will see contours with labels generated on the screen as the boat moves. User-collected data can be shared with others through the Garmin Quickdraw™ Community, which now includes over 9 million acres of data.

The new units are available with a 4-, 5-, 7- or 9-inch colour display and a tilt/swivel mount and transom, as well as trollingmotor mounting hardware. PRICE from £229.99
