Experience Unmatched Clarity on the Water

Imagine spotting fish and underwater structures from afar with crystal-clear detail on a massive 16-inch full HD display. The Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 2 162sv chartplotter transforms how serious anglers approach big-water adventures, whether you’re chasing trophy bass in tournaments or navigating offshore for marlin. Its edge-to-edge IPS screen delivers superior brightness and wide-angle viewing, ensuring you never miss a beat even under direct sunlight or during rough seas.

This powerhouse isn’t just about size—it’s engineered for precision. With built-in Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar and support for advanced LiveScope systems, you get photo-like images of the underwater world, helping you pinpoint bait schools, wrecks, and ledges that smaller screens simply can’t reveal as effectively.

Advanced Sonar That Reveals Hidden Secrets

Dive deeper into fishfinding with integrated CHIRP traditional sonar alongside ClearVü and SideVü scanning at frequencies up to 1200 kHz. These technologies paint vivid, high-contrast images, making it easier to differentiate between game fish, forage, and bottom contours. Pair it with LiveScope transducers for real-time forward, downward, or perspective views—perfect for live-lining or trolling setups where split-second decisions count.

Anglers rave about the customizable color palettes that enhance target separation, turning murky returns into actionable intel. And with wireless sharing capabilities, your crew can stay synced on sonar data across multiple units without cumbersome wiring.

Superior Mapping for Confident Navigation

Preloaded with a worldwide basemap, this chartplotter offers reliable coverage from coastal inlets to open ocean expanses. Upgrade to Garmin Navionics+ for dynamic depth shading, daily updates via subscription, and community-sourced intel through Quickdraw Contours. Multi-band GPS ensures pinpoint accuracy, even in challenging environments like crowded marinas or under tree canopies nearshore.

Plan routes effortlessly with 100 savable options, 5,000 waypoints, and 50,000 track points. Voice commands via Bluetooth keep your hands on the rod, adjusting trolling motor settings or marking hotspots without fumbling.

Seamless Connectivity and Smart Integration

The ActiveCaptain app unlocks screen recording for post-trip analysis, software updates, and access to shared fishing data from the Quickdraw Community.

HDMI output lets you mirror the display to a larger TV below deck, ideal for team briefings or sharing jaw-dropping sonar clips. Flush or bail mounting options, complete with adjustable knobs, make installation straightforward for any vessel size.
