Garmin GPSMAP 1223xsv

Garmin GPSMAP 1223xsv - GET A SHARPER VIEW FROM YOUR CONNECTED HELM
With 50% more touchscreen pixels and nearly double the processing power of previous-generation 12" GPSMAP devices, this crisp chartplotter/sonar combo with high-resolution IPS display integrates seamlessly into your Garmin marine system.

GPSMAP 1223xsv is one of the best combo units on the market for boating and sailing. The display is exceptionally bright and sharp, the software is Garmin's best, and the versatile features help you move on the water efficiently and safely. We recommend the GT56 side-scan transducer for this model to get some of the best side-scan images on the market with excellent resolution.

Garmin GT56UHD-TM transducer details:

• ULTRA HIGH-DEFINITION CLEARVÜ SCANNING SONAR
  See structure and fish below your boat clearly and at greater depths than with other high-frequency scanning sonars. Its downward-facing element puts more power on targets.
• ULTRA HIGH-DEFINITION SIDEVÜ SCANNING SONAR
  See all structure and fish off to the sides of your boat at once and with outstanding clarity. SideVü sonar now has 20% greater range at 1,000 kHz, so you can see even farther.
• HIGH WIDE CHIRP TRADITIONAL SONAR
  The sonar separates and defines targets below your boat with remarkable clarity down to 244 m (800 ft).
• MULTIPLE SCANNING SONAR FREQUENCIES
  Use the frequency best suited to the waters you fish. This transducer delivers 455, 800 and 1,000 kHz, so it performs excellently at all depths.
• VIVID COLORS
  Bright and clear scanning sonar colors make it easier to distinguish targets and structure.

You can connect the Garmin LiveScope System transducer package to the display via the Ethernet network to get live sonar.
