Overview
Built for anglers who want a compact chartplotter with sonar detail and inland mapping in one unit, this 5" Garmin display combines CHIRP traditional sonar with UHD ClearVu scanning sonar to help show both broader water coverage and tighter structure detail. The sunlight-readable touchscreen uses high-contrast, vivid color palettes for easier viewing on the water, and the included GT20-TM transducer supports both sonar modes. Preloaded Garmin Navionics+ inland maps cover more than 18,000 lakes with up to 1' contours, making it a practical choice for navigating and fishing inland waters. Built-in WiFi also lets you share sonar, waypoints, and routes with compatible ECHOMAP systems, while the mobile app adds access to OneChart, smart notifications, software updates, and Garmin Quickdraw Community data.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 5" touchscreen is compact, so it offers less viewing area than larger chartplotter displays when you want more map and sonar detail at a glance.
- The included GT20-TM transducer provides CHIRP traditional sonar and UHD ClearVu scanning sonar, but it does not add other transducer types or specialized sonar features beyond those listed.
- Preloaded Garmin Navionics+ inland maps are focused on inland waters, so this unit is better aligned to lakes and similar use than to broader marine charting needs.
- Built-in WiFi and wireless sharing are designed for compatibility with other ECHOMAP systems and Force trolling motor systems, so those features are most useful when your setup includes supported Garmin equipment.
