Thread: Garmin's CHIRP SideVu and DownVu..

Yep,
Where are the fish.
I'm retired from my under water architecture job

rickie,those do look good

I like em'.

This is good that one more player with SI units appeared in the sonar market. I can not say that their images much better than Humminbird even 300 SI series:

but I hope that my dream of having small, light SI unit with wide distinct side views will come true soon
The next is Raymarine SI unit.

Rickie,would I be correct saying that the farther out the scanning,the more the chirp would help on si and the deeper the more on di ?

There all great pictures,but this one caught my eye.

3 ' deep, 150' wide?

CHIRP's big advantage is the sweep of frequency ranges in each ping...

This allows more reflection data to be collected and returned to the xducer...more data = more detail...

And CHIRP allows more range with less energy needed to get the ping out farther...

It will be interesting to see some images from real users in the near future...
