ECHOMAP Plus series
ECHOMAP Plus series is Garmin’s next generation of chartplotters and sonar combination units with industry-leading features for both saltwater and inland anglers and boaters.

Building on the success of its predecessor series, ECHOMAP CHIRP, the new ECHOMAP Plus features powerful sonar capabilities, premium chart options, and built-in WiFi®* for access to the new Garmin ActiveCaptain marine app for the ultimate connected boating experience. Available in a range of display sizes to accommodate nearly every boat and budget, the Plus series features a bright, sunlight-readable 4-, 6-, 7- or 9-inch display. The 6-inch units are new to the ECHOMAP series and are larger with more pixels and easier to read than previous 5-inch models. The ECHOMAP Plus series also offers the convenience of a new keyed-assist touchscreen on the 7- and 9-inch units, which gives users quick access to the features they use most. The ECHOMAP Plus series comes preloaded with UK and Ireland charts with support for optional BlueChart® g2 Vision® HD charts with Auto Guidance², satellite imagery, 3-D perspectives and more.

STRIKER™ Plus series
These proven fishfinders with industry-leading sonar are now packed with new features to help anglers find and catch more fish, yet easy as ever to use.

“The new STRIKER Plus series has the features that will bring the benefit of built-in GPS, Quickdraw Contours and Wi-Fi® to first-time users, and will convince existing STRIKER customers to upgrade,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president global consumer sales. “These new fishfinders are the perfect entry-level solution for anglers who want the best sonar available plus the ability to create and store their own contour maps.”

Descent™ Mk1
The Descent™ Mk1 is a dive computer offering surface GPS positioning with rich colour mapping.

Designed for recreational, technical and free divers, the Descent Mk1 allows divers to plan their underwater adventure right on the watch and use GPS waypoints to automatically mark dive entry and exit points to upload their dive log via the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app to Garmin’s online dive community. The Descent Mk1 also offers multiple dive modes, 3-axis compass, in-dive data, as well as multi-sport functions like wrist-based heart rate and activity profiles.

Beyond the full range of diving functions, the Descent Mk1 offers a complete feature set of sports/training, fitness and outdoor navigation tools. It comes preloaded with activity profiles for swimming, running, biking, hiking, skiing, rowing, paddle boarding and more.
