How are they different?
► What’s the difference between a Garmin ECHOMAP Ultra 102sv and an Ultra 106sv?
The only difference is “Mapping”, that’s it.
-
- Ultra 102sv – Only comes with a worldwide base map.
- Ultra 106sv – Comes with Garmin BlueChart g3 coastal maps and Garmin LakeVü g3 inland maps.
Update: Beginning 2023, 126sv & 106sv units now come with the new GARMIN NAVIONICS+ INLAND & COASTAL. This combines the BlueChart g3/LakeVü g3 and Navionics data.
Why would I buy an ECHOMAP Ultra 102sv?
-
- You already have an ECHOMAP Ultra 106sv with mapping and want to add a second screen. Note: Maps & features will share.
- You don’t need full mapping but want access to the Ultra High Definition Sonar features.
How Are They the Same?
- Screen Resolution: Both units have a high-resolution 1280 x 800 pixel display.
- Operating Features: The user interface is the same
- Networking: Both units support NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi, and Garmin Network connections, allowing you to connect them to other compatible devices on your boat for data sharing.
- Sonar/Fishfinders Capabilities: Both units have CHIRP traditional sonar, ClearVü scanning sonar, and SideVü Ultra high-definition scanning sonar channels and frequencies and support sonar sharing.
- Quickdraw Contours: For creating personalized fishing maps on-screen with 1’ contours.
- FORCE Trolling Motor capability: Control your Force trolling motor directly from your display. Route it to waypoints, follow tracks, and more.
- Power cord: Both units use the same power cord if you already have one and don’t want to run new wiring.
- Active Captain Support: Both support active captain updating and data sharing.
