Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 4" display is compact, so it offers less screen space than larger fishfinders when viewing sonar and maps at the same time.
- Quickdraw Contours can store up to 2 million acres of maps, but it is a mapping feature rather than a preloaded chart package.
- The included GT20 transducer supports Garmin CHIRP traditional sonar and CHIRP ClearVu scanning sonar, so the sonar setup is defined by the included hardware rather than being fully expandable from the product details provided.
- The unit includes tilt/swivel mount and transom/trolling motor hardware, which is practical for installation but means the setup is centered on the included mounting options.
