Applications

In practical tournament fishing use, the SideVü scanning sonar allows captains to sweep large areas of the seafloor to locate submerged wrecks or bait balls that other anglers might miss. Because the internal sonar data can be shared across the entire Garmin Marine Network, the crew on the deck can view the same high-definition maritime mapping and sonar feeds on a secondary display, ensuring the whole team is synchronized.

For coastal cruisers and sailing racers, the unit provides a robust safety and tactical platform. The ability to integrate FLIR thermal cameras and radar directly into the 8-inch display significantly reduces the stress of night-time passages or low-visibility fog.
