Good info video, that find is still alittle out of my budget.
The Striker 4 Plus has basic mapping and waypoints. I was moreless using my phone for GPS mapping at the AEP recreation lands, you can get lost trying to find the hidden ponds

[DigsOutdoors]

And that is the unit I am looking for. I'm going to a few lakes next year that aren't mapped so I can save them on the SD card. Also, from playing around with one. In the fishing chart part of the unit, you can color code the depths on the contour map. 0-5' can be one color, 5-10' another color, so on and so forth. This way you can tell how much water you are in at a glance.

Great information on how it works and how you can make it work the best for the way you maybe using it thank you merry Christmas to you and your family

[wendellfishing]

Update: 9=screen size and the second number (2 in my case) is the map type. Thanks "BanksOpenKayakFishing" for the correction.

Try the Active Captain, you might be interested to save your day on the water route overlayed on contour map on your mobile phone for review when you are not on the water and don’t need to pull the SD and transfer to a computer. On the new Ultra 2 (10&12) models you can record the sonar screen to your phone, previously the screen recording was only on the more expensive GPSMAP versions.

This is a good video about its capabilities. I have multiple seasons of kayak bassin' experience with it as I got my 7" version on Christmas 2019 from Cabela's at 44% off. The DownVü and SideVü are OK but my unit lacks the bigger/newer/higher resolution your unit has. What I like best about mine is knowing the water depth, mapping the depths (Quickdraw contours) everywhere I paddle, recording my tracks everywhere I paddle (and waypoints where I catch bass) along with the trip summary (time on the water, time spent anchored vs paddling, distance paddled etc) and saving/copying printscreens of all that from the microSD card afterward to my computer for review and future planning. (Hold the HOME button anytime to create a printscreen.)

Just bought this unit, I also got it for side and down imaging. One day maybe live Scope.

[kevincaddell]

Good morning, I’m enjoying your demos. Your presentation is full of great information & is easy to watch & follow. I’m looking at a 73CV & I can’t find any reference as to whether the keys are back-lit or not. Do you know? Many thanks, Kev

[JohnLong]

Great breakdown on this unit. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[canyonfishing]

Picked one up used for $500 with a GT56 transducer.

[gregstabryla]

Very nice explanation. I'm looking something better than my striker 4. Just can't use all of the things on your unit. I'm looking for suggestions on upgrading, just not to the unit you have. Ideas welcome. Thanks.

[hobonickel]

Thanks for the overview content ..
Is that your main ff? whats you're fav? What model of any brand would you suggest for kayak fishing?

[BanksOpenKayakFishing]

9=screen size and the second number (2 in your case) is the map type. Kayak fishermen in the U.S. are better off with the 93sv which comes with preloaded US lake maps. 92sv is the worldwide base map version.

[theirishone]

I’ve wanted to spend some time learning my garmin but worried it will damage my transducer if it’s not in the water. Will turning this on in the driveway potentially hurt or burn up my transducer?

[RaidCrafts]

Hey man I just got my first fishing kayak and I’m ready to go fishibg

[jumarux]

hello my friend, is it 100% waterproof ? what will happen if you capsize your canoe

[motohobo]

106sv ultra 2 or lowrance hds 10 pro? Whats your opinion on them

[joeybard]

Will the Noqua 10amp power it? How long?

[Trumpmusthappen]

Why does the clear view go right to left ? Having a hard time knowing where, I am looking ?
