Garmin echoMAP 70s
Technical details
Producer: Garmin (CH)

Garmin echoMAP 70s is a chartplotter and fishfinder combination, featuring a 7" WVGA touchscreen display with pinch-to-zoom, and it comes with a worldwide basemap or Garmin U.S. lakes or offshore cartography.

The crystal-clear display provides clear target separation, allows visibility both day and night, and has a user interface that anyone can navigate. Plus, it has multi-touch functions and auto-dimming to enhance your screen views.

With the integration of a 10Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver, the 70s refreshes position and heading up to 10 times per second. It displays constant and fluid on-screen location and proves to be incredibly accurate when marking waypoints and navigating.

In addition to the integrated receiver, echoMAP 70s also allows for sonar recording. This feature coordinates the timing of the sonar return in relation to the boat’s position — so every one of the available 5,000 waypoints will be accurate and precise. It's an absolute must when locating and pinpointing the next hot fishing spot.

Included with echoMAP 70s is a dual-beam transducer that transmits a 77/200 kHz signal. It also has wireless connectivity capability, giving you the opportunity to connect and access marine-specific apps via smartphone or tablet.

Available with preloaded LakeVü HD maps — more than 17,000 lakes plus more than 570 HD lakes with 1’ contours shoreline to shoreline — or BlueChart g2 coastal maps.
