The 9 Garmin GPSMAP923xsv Touchscreen Chartplotter / Sonar / Depthfinder / Fishfinder Combo, with its sleek design, powerful processing and upgraded IPS display, integrates seamlessly into your Garmin marine system.

The Garmin GPSMAP 923xsv 9 is an ultra high definition scanning sonar, with built-in Ultra High-Definition SideV and ClearV scanning sonars with vivid, high-contrast color palettes to help distinguish fish from structure. The GPSMAP X3 Chartplotter series also supports 1 kW traditional sonar capabilities.

It features the Traditional CHIRP Sonar function with Worldwide Basemap so you can see below your boat, with built-in sonar capabilities on select models.

• Faster, Sharper, Smarter – With its added processing power and slimline design, featuring edge-to-edge glass, its easy to fit this Garmin plotter in a wider range of dash configurations.
• Bright and Clear Optics – High-resolution IPS displays for 9, 12 or 16 chart plotters offer improved sunlight readability and visibility from any angle.
• Preloaded Mapping – Experience unparalleled coverage and detail, with built-in Garmin Navionics+ integrated coastal and inland mapping that includes Auto Guidance+ technology.
• Garmin Sailassist Sailing Features – View laylines, race start line guidance, enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, true wind data fields and tide / current / time slider, wind angle, set and drift, wind speed and more.
• Garmin Marine Network – If you have multiple compatible Garmin devices on your boat, you can share information such as maps, user data, radar and IP camera video among them.
• NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 Networks – Connect to compatible autopilots, digital switching, weather, the Fusion audio system, media, VHF, AIS and more from one screen.
• Active Captain APP – Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity pairs with the free all-in-one mobile app for access to the One Chart feature, smart notifications, software updates, Helm app, Garmin Quickdraw Community data and more.
• Integrated ANT Technology – Connect with some of your favorite devices, such as quatix marine watches, gWind Wireless 2 transducers, GNX Wind marine instruments and wireless remote controls.
• Engine Connectivity – You can connect your chartplotter to different engines, including select Yamaha engines.
• Onehelm Feature – This feature brings together all the operations and capabilities of select third-party devices, such as Empir Bus digital switching, on one screen.

The 7 Garmin GPSMAP 723xsv comes with the GarminGT51M-TM transducer.Perfect for the coastal and offshore fisherman who want CHIRP traditional sonar, CHIRP ClearV and CHIRP SideV scanning sonar, this transom mounted transducer consistently displays clear and crisp fish arches with superior target separation as well as clear pictures of objects, structure and fish that pass below and to each side of your boat and is optimized for rough sea conditions.

Traditional Sonar

Using powerful sound waves to ping objects in the water below, Traditional Sonar translates the echoes from those waves, into the images of fish, structure and bottom depths, you see on your display. This type of pulse, or signal may be high in power, but its short in duration. This limits the total amount of energy that can be transmitted into the water column below. The cone-shaped beam, of the typical sonar transducer, is approximately 40 degrees, or less. However, this signal expands the farther it travels in the water column, so the cone of coverage it produces on the bottom of a lake can be quite large.

Different frequencies reveal different levels of detail. For example, higher-frequency sonar is best at providing clear views of fish and structure in shallower water situations. Conversely, a low-frequency pulse can penetrate deep water but provides less imaging detail. To provide a more balanced combination of depth and detail, most traditional sonars now use a dual-frequency transducer for coverage thats easier to translate.

Scanning Sonar

Scanning sonar technology, uses high-frequency pulses, to give you a detailed, photo-real representation of fish and structure in the water below. Instead of a cone-shaped beam, Garmin scanning sonars use a narrow beam of very high-frequency energy, to create extremely detailed, digitally composed sonar images.

Garmin chartplotters and transducers are available with two main types of imaging: ClearV and SideV scanning sonars. The difference between the two is that ClearV is down-imaging sonar, designed to show a high level of detail in a narrow window under the boat, while SideV, as the name implies, is side-imaging sonar covering larger areas of water, to either side of your boat. Thus, ClearV generates detailed images of what is below the boat, while SideV covers a larger viewing area around your boat. Its useful for identifying bottom features, structure and cover where the best fishing spots may be found.
