Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 SideVü Down & Side Imaging Fish Finder & Chartplotter

🎣 The Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 SideVü series is the sweet spot for serious freshwater and inshore anglers who want to see everything around the boat without stepping up to a premium-priced unit. Pick your screen size, your chart region, and whether you want a transducer in the box, and you have a fishing machine ready to bolt on and go.

Every SideVü model in this series runs all three of Garmin's core sonar types at once: Garmin traditional CHIRP for clean fish arches and bottom detail, ClearVü down imaging for a photo-like look at what is directly beneath you, and SideVü side imaging that scans out to the left and right of the boat so you can find brush piles, laydowns, docks, and schooling fish you would otherwise motor right past. The high-contrast, sunlight-readable touchscreen with keyed assist makes it easy to run with wet or gloved hands, and built-in GPS with Quickdraw Contours lets you map your own 1-foot contours on any water you fish.

Preloaded Garmin Navionics+ cartography means you are ready to navigate out of the box, with tens of thousands of lakes and coastal areas, depth contours, marked structure, and navaids. Choose the chart region that matches your home water: US Inland, US Coastal, Canada, or Worldwide. Wi-Fi lets you pair the ActiveCaptain app for chart updates, software updates, and smart notifications, and you can network two ECHOMAP UHD2 units to share sonar, waypoints, and routes across the boat.

Here is the part that matters most in 2026: every SideVü model in this series is compatible with the new Garmin LiveScope 2, and it connects with no black box. When you are ready to add real-time, live-scanning forward-facing sonar, LiveScope 2 (LVS44 or LVS42HD) plugs in using the included GMN1 network adapter, no GLS10 black box required. That makes this the most affordable path into live sonar Garmin offers.
