An angler’s ultimate companion

  • Built-in sonar: For brilliant image clarity of structure and fish below and to the sides of the boat, select models include a GT56UHD transducer, Garmin’s premium all-in-one scanning transducer that provides Ultra High-Definition ClearVüand SideVüsonar along with CHIRP traditional sonar.
  • Live sonar: Add an optional transducer for live sonar; all ECHOMAP Ultra 2 units are compatible with Garmin’s full line of award-winning LiveScopelive-scanning sonar.
  • Preloaded mapping: Experience unparalleled coverage and detail with built-in Garmin Navionics+mapping, which includes Auto Guidance+technology2. Users can also add Garmin Navionics Vision+mapping for high-resolution relief shading and more.
  • Wireless networking: Share sonar3, waypoints and routes with another ECHOMAP Ultra 2 or ECHOMAP UHD2 chartplotter on board, reducing the need to drill extra holes in the boat, while also keeping the deck space free from the clutter of extra cables.
  • HDMI output: Anglers now have the option to mirror their screen on a TV or external display.
  • Multi-band GPS: Receive improved position accuracy when under bridges, along bluffs or in coves with tree cover.
  • Force® integration: Wirelessly connect to a Force trolling motor to navigate to waypoints, create and follow routes, control speed, check battery life and more.
  • Voice controls: Give voice commands to the chartplotter via built-in Bluetooth® technology and paired compatible headset to control sonar settings and Force trolling motors.

Expected to be available in August, the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 16-inch chartplotters are available with or without a GT56UHD transducer for a suggested retail price of $4,599.99 and $4,799.99, respectively.
