The Garmin CHIRP difference
The built-in sonar capabilities of the ECHOMAP Plus 42cv include our traditional CHIRP sonar, which is one of the most sophisticated sonar technologies for fishing and boating. CHIRP traditional sonar provides incredibly clear target separation and definition because it puts even more energy into the target than traditional sonar. It also provides traditional sonar support for Minn Kota ® and MotorGuide ® trolling motors with integrated transducers.
Clear scanning sonar images
The Garmin CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar provides an almost photographic image of what's beneath your boat. You can clearly see structures, underwater objects and fish.
Quickdraw Contours for creating your own maps
You can instantly create personalized on-screen fishing charts with 1-foot outlines and customize them to suit your needs. These are your cards - you own them. Keep your data to yourself or share it with the Quickdraw community on Garmin Connect ™ .
Upgrade to our best map on the water
Go one step further with BlueChart g2 HD or BlueChart g2 Vision HD¹, which adds Auto Guidance 1 and other great features. A single card reader for microSD ™ cards allows the memory to be expanded by purchasing additional cards.
Take your ECHOMAP Plus with you
When you're out of the water, it's easy to keep your ECHOMAP Plus combo unit well protected. You don't have to mess with connecting and disconnecting wires from the device, because the wires are inserted directly into the holder. This allows you to quickly mount and detach your ECHOMAP Plus from the holder and power supply.
