The Garmin GCV20 ClearVü/SideVü Module is a networkable sonar black box designed for crystal-clear underwater imaging, and it arrives without a transducer. Perfect for builders who want to pair this high-definition scanning sonar with a compatible transducer of their choice.
Ultra High-Definition Scanning Sonar
-
ClearVü and SideVü imaging deliver stunning, razor-sharp detail of structure and fish, both directly below and off to the sides of your boat.
- Depth capability up to 200 feet below the hull with downward-facing ClearVü for exceptional bottom detail.
- Wide-side imaging up to 125 feet to each side and 250 feet total for SideVü, revealing target density and underwater features with clarity.
- Ultra High-Definition performance, powered by a downward-facing element that enhances target visibility and definition at greater depths compared with standard high-frequency scanning sonars.
Networked Flexibility and Compatibility
- Share Ultra High-Definition sonar images across multiple networked chartplotters for synchronized viewing and decision-making.
- Designed for Garmin Marine Network compatibility to expand your sonar capabilities and chartplotter integration.
- Optional Panoptix all-seeing sonar can be added to your networked sonar suite for even more situational awareness.
- Simple installation as a compact black box that integrates with your existing Garmin setup (transducer sold separately).
