Add a Garmin Transducer

When connected to a compatible transducer, the Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 55cv chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. The Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 55cv features built-in support for two types of sonar: Garmin traditional and ClearVu scanning sonars.

Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer and sounder module connected to the Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 55cv chartplotter.

There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that displays two different frequencies. You can customise the settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are viewing the split-frequency view, you can separately adjust the gain for each frequency.

Alternatively, if you know which transducer your require (we do however recommend that you complete our online form to find the perfect transducer) you can view the comprehensive range of transducers available buy from ActiveGPS.
