Garmin Releases

Garmin has shown their new Panoptix Sonar technology that gives mariners the ability to see all around their boat in real-time – forwards, backwards, sideways, and down – even while stationary.  This technology was only available before for offshore commercial use.  You no longer have to think you are missing fish that you can’t see because you cannot look in their direction.  Also released was BlueChart Mobil 2.0 that adds streaming worldwide weather through a cellular-based Apple device.  Also being shown are 4 new 16″ Multi Function Displays two with internal sonar and two without.  The 7600 series will come loaded with Garmin BlueChart G2 coastal charts as well as LakeVüTM HD inland lake maps, and two models of the 7400 that come with a worldwide basemap only, lastly Garmin has not overlooked the growing kayak fishing market with their release of an in-hull kayak transducer mount that is compatible with transducers that support all current Garmin echo fishfinders and echo portable kits, as well as the echoMAP “dv” GPS/sonar combos and some GPSMAP GPS/sonar combos.
