Description
The Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 126sv is a powerful combo unit with a bright and sunlight-readable 12” keyed-assist touchscreen display. It is equipped with all the fishing tools you need to enhance your fishing experience.
One of the standout features of the ECHOMAP Ultra 126sv is its built-in support for premium Garmin sonars, including the Panoptix LiveScope scanning sonar system. This allows you to get a clear and detailed view of the underwater environment, giving you an edge in finding fish.
In addition, the device comes preloaded with Garmin exclusive Blue Chart g3 coastal charts and LakeVu g3 inland maps. These maps are enhanced with integrated Navionics data and Auto Guidance technology. While the Auto Guidance feature is for planning purposes only and does not replace safe navigation operations, it provides valuable assistance in charting your course.
The ECHOMAP Ultra 126sv offers convenient connectivity options. You can share sonar, waypoints, and routes with other ECHOMAP Ultra 10” and 12” units, as well as ECHOMAP Plus 7” and 9” units. This allows for seamless collaboration and sharing of information among fellow anglers.
Another notable feature is the built-in Quickdraw Contours mapping software, which instantly creates personalized fishing maps on-screen with 1’ contours as you fish. This feature enables you to have detailed maps of your favorite fishing spots, making it easier to navigate and locate fish.
Furthermore, the ECHOMAP Ultra 126sv comes with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to pair it with the free ActiveCaptain app. This app provides additional features and functionalities, enhancing your overall fishing experience.
