RAYMARINE said the new Dragonfly 7 PRO is the most feature-rich sonar/GPS combination yet for fresh and coastal saltwater fishing. Offering the same advanced features as the award-winning Dragonfly 5 PRO, the 7 PRO is equipped with an extra-large 7” display for maximum visibility. The super bright display is also optically-bonded for all-weather performance, and is guaranteed to never fog up.
Unlike conventional imaging sonars that transmit each pulse at a single frequency, Dragonfly 7 PRO’s DownVision sonar uses wide spectrum CHIRP technology to transmit across multiple sonar frequencies simultaneously. As a result, Dragonfly 7 PRO produces higher resolution, photo-like sonar images.
Dragonfly 7 PRO surpasses ordinary imaging sonars with superior deep water performance to 600 ft (180m) and reliable high speed bottom tracking. It’s also equipped with a conventional high frequency CHIRP sonar channel for targeting fish and bottom tracking down to 900 ft (277m).
Dragonfly 7 PRO’s fast acquisition 10Hz GPS sensor and mapping helps users stay on course, while Raymarine’s Wi-Fish mobile app lets them stream CHIRP DownVision directly to their smartphone or tablet.
Dragonfly 7 PRO’s built-in Wi-Fi also syncs with the Navionics Boating app to give anglers the power to create their own personal HD bathymetry maps in real time using Dragonfly’s CHIRP sonar.
Dragonfly 7 PRO supports Navionics charts, C-MAP by Jeppesen, and Raymarine LightHouse charts, and comes bundled with C-MAP Essentials or Navionics+ maps on microSD.
Starting at AUD $1,065 RRP, Dragonfly 7 PRO will be available in the first quarter of 2016
