    Default Garmin Guru Help Needed


    OK here's the deal, I found what I thought was a pretty good deal on line on a GPS Fish Finder, that wasn't what it was made out to be and need some help to get it up and running. I got a Garmin GPSMAP 172, ( yes older but newer than I had), I was told it was complete...OK my mistake #1. It works as I've had it hooked to a battery. However all I received from this guy was the unit a cord that connects the power with several other wires that was wound up and taped to the main cord. No cord to a transducer, nor a transducer. The person now is not answering the phone at all. My question is what is needed to use this unit as a chart plotter, and a fish finder, or is it even capable of this. I went online and was not able to find what I was looking for. I found an owners manual PDF but it started after everything was hooked up, which I cant do other than supply power at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thank you for your time.

    Goggle Garmin and call them. They will be able to tell you which transducer you need. You can buy it through them but I would find on online it will be cheaper

    Just reading online quick,I think its a chart plotter only(maybe), no sonar? I think you'd need a gds 20 sonar module....just reading online not sure.
