Description
The Garmin Striker Vivid 7CV is a fishfinder with built in Chirp Traditional and Scanning Sonar, with vivid color palettes and built-in GPS. With the Garmin Striker Vivid 7CV with GT20-TM Transducer you can see fish and bottom structure in maximum detail, when you pick your display color, your location and your sonar for your day on the water. Use the included transducer to get Chirp traditional and ClearVü sonars.
Clear, colorful sonar: Choose from 7 new vivid color options to see fish and structure in maximum contrast and clarity on your 7 fishfinder.
Built-In Sonar: Use the included GT20 transducer to get Garmin Chirp traditional sonar and Chirp ClearVü scanning sonar.
Waypoint Marking: To catch more fish, you need to know where the fish are biting. Use waypoint marking for hot spots so you can easily find your way back.
High Sensitivity GPS: Plan and create routes and view your boats speed on your fishfinder using high-sensitivity GPS.
Quickdraw Contours: Nobody knows the waters you fish better than you. With the Striker Vivid 5CV fishfinder, you can store up to 2 million acres of maps with 1 contours1.
The Garmin Striker Vivid 7CV fishfinder includes a tilt/swivel mount plus transom and trolling motor mounting hardware and cable.
Traditional Sonar
Using powerful sound waves to ping objects in the water below, Traditional Sonar translates the echoes from those waves, into the images of fish, structure and bottom depths, you see on your display. This type of pulse, or signal may be high in power, but its short in duration. This limits the total amount of energy that can be transmitted into the water column below. The cone-shaped beam, of the typical sonar transducer, is approximately 40 ° degrees, or less. However, this signal expands the farther it travels in the water column, so the cone of coverage it produces on the bottom of a lake can be quite large.
Different frequencies reveal different levels of detail. For example, higher-frequency sonar is best at providing clear views of fish and structure in shallower water situations. Conversely, a low-frequency pulse can penetrate deep water but provides less imaging detail. To provide a more balanced combination of depth and detail, most traditional sonars now use a dual-frequency transducer for coverage thats easier to translate.
Scanning Sonar
Scanning sonar technology, uses high-frequency pulses, to give you a detailed, photo-real representation of fish and structure in the water below. Instead of a cone-shaped beam, Garmin scanning sonars use a narrow beam of very high-frequency energy, to create extremely detailed, digitally composed sonar images.
Garmin chartplotters and transducers are available with two main types of imaging: ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonars. The difference between the two is that ClearVü is down-imaging sonar, designed to show a high level of detail in a narrow window under the boat, while SideVü, as the name implies, is side-imaging sonar covering larger areas of water, to either side of your boat. Thus, ClearVü generates detailed images of what is below the boat, while SideVü covers a larger viewing area around your boat. Its useful for identifying bottom features, structure and cover where the best fishing spots may be found.
