The Garmin ECHOMAP UHD series is Garmin's newest line of mid-sized hybrid combo units ranging from 6"-12" that have premium features for low prices. The UHD series comes preloaded with Garmin's clear Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar and Garmins BlueChart g3 or LakeVu g3 charts, both with integrated Navionics data. These units are the true definition of "plug and play" for any anglers.
Garmin UHD Scanning Sonar: For crystal clear scanning of fish and structure, pair an echomap UHD with any of Garmins UHD transom mount or thru hull transducers. The UHD clearVu offers photographic views with excellent resolution and target seperation in fresh and salt water. Echomap models with "sv" add support for Ultra High-Definition SideVu. Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar provides crisp images up to 200' below your boat.

The biggest difference is the Ultra High Definition sonar capabilities built in to the Echomap UHD models. You also have the ability to share your UHD sonar images across multiple networked chartplotters.
