Detailed Charts

This chartplotter is compatible with the latest Garmin Navionics+ cartography and additional premium chart features. You can obtain these charts in three ways:

• You can purchase a chartplotter with preloaded detailed charts.
• You can purchase chart regions on a memory card from your Garmin dealer or from garmin.com.
• You can purchase chart regions in the ActiveCaptain app, and download them to your chartplotter.

NOTE: You must activate preloaded charts and charts purchased on a memory card using the ActiveCaptain app before you can access the full chart features on your chartplotter.

Activating a Marine Chart Subscription

Before you can use the full features of Garmin Navionics+ charts that are preloaded on your device or purchased on a memory card, you must activate your subscription using the ActiveCaptain app.

Your subscription allows you to access the latest chart updates and additional content included with your purchase.

1 If you purchased charts on a memory card, insert the card into a memory card slot on the chartplotter or Garmin memory card reader.
2 Open the ActiveCaptain app on your mobile device, and connect it to the chartplotter (Getting Started with the ActiveCaptain App, page 3).
3 After the ActiveCaptain app connects to the chartplotter, make sure your mobile device is connected to the internet.
4 In the ActiveCaptain app, select Chart > My Charts, and verify that an active subscription for the charts is shown in the list.
5 If necessary, connect the ActiveCaptain app to the chartplotter to complete the activation process. The ActiveCaptain app activates the subscription automatically after it connects to the internet and then to the chartplotter. The ActiveCaptain app shows the subscription status in the My Charts list.

NOTE: It might take a few hours to verify the new subscription.

Connecting Devices Wirelessly to Share User Data and Sonar

You can connect an ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device to another ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device or to a ECHOMAP UHD2 device wirelessly to share user data and sonar.

See your Owner's Manual for more information.

Sonar Fishfinder

When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder.

For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to garmin.com/transducers.

Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer and sounder module connected to the chartplotter. For example, you can view certain Panoptix sonar screens only if you have a compatible Panoptix transducer connected.

There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-screen view, a split-screen view that combines two or more views, a split-zoom view, and a split-frequency view that displays two different frequencies. You can customize the settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are viewing the split-frequency view, you can separately adjust the gain for each frequency.

If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your needs, you can create a custom combination screen.

Traditional Sonar View

There are several full-screen views available, depending on the transducer that is connected.

The full-screen Traditional sonar view shows a large image of the sonar readings from a transducer. The range scale along the right side of the screen shows the depth of detected objects as the screen scrolls from the right to the left.

(1) Depth information

Suspended targets or fish

Bottom of the body of water

To access the Traditional sonar view, select Sonar > Traditional.

Garmin ClearVü Sonar View

NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar, you need a compatible transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to garmin.com/transducers.

Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed picture of the fishing environment around the boat in a detailed representation of structures the boat is passing over.

To access the Garmin ClearVü sonar view, select Sonar > ClearVü.

Selecting the Transducer Type

This chartplotter is compatible with a range of accessory transducers, including the Garmin ClearVu™ transducers, which are available at garmin.com/transducers.

If you are connecting a transducer that was not included with the chartplotter, you may need to set the transducer type to make the sonar function properly.

NOTE: Not all chartplotters and sonar modules support this feature.

1 Complete an action:

From a sonar view, select > Sonar Setup > Installation > Transducers.
- Select Settings > My Vessel > Transducers.

2 Select an option:

• To enable the chartplotter to detect the transducer automatically, select the transducer to change, and select Auto Detect.
  To select the transducer manually, learn the range for the installed transducer, select the transducer to change, select the option that matches the installed transducer, such as Dual Beam (200/77 kHz) or Dual Freq (200/50 kHz), and select Change Model.

NOTICE

Manually selecting a transducer could result in damage to the transducer or reduced transducer performance.

NOTE: If you select the transducer manually, disconnect that transducer, and then connect a different transducer, you should reset this option to Auto Detect.
