GARMIN has announced a new 360-degree scanning sonar that allows anglers see a birds-eye view of fish and structure in every direction around the boat in 2D and 3D views—then fish that area without having to constantly rescan.
This advanced sonar system includes the game-changing motorised Spy Pole and unlocks new underwater perspectives with unmatched integration and control.
Key features include:
- Unlock the toughest underwater hiding spots with OneVü sonar – crisp, clear 360-degree imagery of what’s below the boat in 2D and 3D views – with the GT360UHD transducer mounted to Spy Pole.
- Built-in True Motion technology seamlessly integrates with GPS to maintain the sonar’s true position so anglers can move around structure without losing track of where the fish are.
- Scan and store up to a football-field size of sonar imagery with a continuously updated buffer.
- Customise the color, dial in the settings and engage auto, manual or constant scans with on-screen chartplotter controls on compatible Garmin chartplotters.
- Add LiveScope live sonar to unlock an all-new 3D view on a single display, as well as a beam overlay to see where LiveScope is pointed in 2D mode.
- Thanks to Spy Pole, anglers can take full command of their 360-degree sonar—completely independent of the trolling motor.
- Wirelessly execute smooth, fast and quiet control with Spy Pole’s included low-profile wireless foot control, rod-mountable gesture remote or through a dedicated control bar on a compatible Garmin chartplotter.
- The GT360UHD transducer is available at a recommended retail price of $1,699.00 AUD.
Motorised live sonar control
- With Spy Pole, anglers can steer a LiveScope transducer with unmatched accuracy and initiate scans with ease; lock LiveScope sonar on any point with SpyLock technology or automatically sweep back and forth to find fish in SpyScan mode.
- Securely route transducer cables through the pole shaft for ultimate cable protection.
- Easily mount and dismount Spy Pole from a Force or Force Pro trolling motor or gunnel mount (sold separately) with the quick-release system.
- Synchronise the speed and direction of a Force Pro trolling motor and control the Spy Pole from the foot pedal of the trolling motor through SpyLink technology—and maintain control even when the trolling motor is in anchor lock.
- Spy Pole is available with a 42” or 49” length for a recommended retail price of $2,999.00 AUD and $3,399.00 AUD respectively, and works with any LiveScope transducer.
