Garmin Echomap UHD 72CV

Beschrijving

The Garmin Echomap UHD 72CV is a superb chartplotter / fishfinder that displays the situation under your boat with incredible detail. In this case, the UHD stands for Ultra High-Definition. Fish and vegetation are displayed in ClearVu mode on the beautiful 7-inch screen. The WVGA screen has a resolution of 400×800 and is designed for excellent visibility even in sunlight. In addition to ClearVu Mode, the Echomap UHD 72CV also features traditional CHIRP Sonar, of course. The Garmin echomap 72CV can be operated with button controls.

What sets the Echomap UHD 72CV apart from the UHD 62CV is its ability to connect to the Panoptix livescope sonar system. This system allows you to see everything under the boat in real time. Also, the Echomap UHD 72CV can be linked to the Garmin Force Trolling engine. This allows you to track from your chartplotter to waypoints and tracs. Again, this feature is not present on the UHD 62CV

The map plotter function is also up to the standard you would expect from Garmin. By default, the Echomap UHD 72CV is delivered with a global base map. If you sail on inland waterways in the Netherlands, an optional G3 watermap of the Netherlands is highly recommended! With a memory for 5000 waypoints and 100 routes, you have more than enough space to store all your favourite places. The QuickDraw function also allows you to draw and save your own maps. They can be viewed by you at any time, but you can also share them with the QuickDraw Community.

Also for sailors

If you are a sailor who purchases a Garmin Echomap UHD 62CV in combination with a Garmin Bluechart G2 VISION, you get access to Sailassist. Sailassist provides a lot of useful information on the screen such as Ley lines, an improved wind rose, course, course-over-the-ground lines and data fields for true wind speed. The gauge screens are designed so that while sailing you can read the most important data at a glance such as: True and apparent wind angle, course deviation, true and apparent wind speed, horizontal charts and a data bar with customisable data fields. The chartplotter offers a companion page showing your virtual start line, data fields with ley lines, burn time before take-off and race timer that will allow you to maximise your performance and out-sail your sailing competitors!

The Echomap UHD 72CV can be linked to the ActiveCaptain App with its built-in WiFi. This allows you to receive smartphone notifications, access OneChart and get software updates. This Echomap UHD 72CV is really for those looking for a chartplotter / fishfinder combination that has more to offer as a fishfinder.
