GPSMAP 8700 Black Box

TRADITIONAL CHIRP TECHNOLOGY

The GPSMAP 8700 Black Box Garmin is compatible with traditional CHIRP echo sounder: one of the most innovative technologies on the market. It gives you razor-sharp images with outstanding definition and target separation.

CHIRP technology delivers :

• Denser information and sharper, high-resolution images
• Better target separation and sharper rendering of fish arches
• Improved bottom tracking and fish detection even at high speed

The CHIRP 1000W dual-channel sounder module lets you use wide frequency ranges. Use a Low sounder for great depths, a Medium sounder for fishing zones from 80m to 200m, and a High sounder for shallows from 0m to 80m.

CLEARVÜ CHIRP TECHNOLOGY

ClearVü technology is the most powerful on the market. It provides extremely realistic, high-quality, near-photographic images of everything that happens under the boat. This ultra-precise function lets you see structures, fish and submerged objects.

With ClearVü technology you can :

• See thermoclines: the boundary between water layers and oxygen-rich zones
• Identify fish: no room for interpretation, it identifies clearly.
• Reveal structures: wrecks, vegetation, bridge piers, moorings...

Not available on 2D probe version

SIDEVÜ CHIRP TECHNOLOGY

SideVü technology lets you see what's happening on both sides of the boat. You'll be able to spot structures and, above all, fish. It's precise, with a highly detailed, high-resolution image.

This function allows you to locate fishing areas more quickly, thanks to an extremely wide 180° scanning field.

Not available on 2D probe version
