Additional Series Details

ECHOMAP UHD Series – is the new mid-sized chartplotter/sonar combo with a keyed-assisted touchscreen. They added features like built-in support for Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar and Panoptix LiveScope support. 

The UHD takes design of the all-in-one ECHOMAP Plus combo,  adds built-in Ultra High-Definition sonar and includes the GT54 Ultra High-Definition transducer.

ECHOMAP Ultra Series – comes in a 10″ and 12″ chartplotter/sonar combo and includes an all-in-one transducer for CHIRP traditional and Ultra High-Definition scanning sonars.

The Ultra also supports Panoptix LiveScope™ LVS12 sonar (no black box required), the Panoptix LiveScope system and the full line of Panoptix™ sonars.

 

Should I upgrade to an ECHOMAP UHD or ECHOMAP Ultra?

For the extra cost of about 50.00 over the Plus, when it was introduced, the UHD is a very good value if you want or need Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar.

The Ultra jumps in price point but if your looking a 10-12″ screen and don’t need all of the features in the GPSMAP 7600 or 8600 series the the Ultra is a pretty good value.
