200 KHz frequency fishfinder is transmitted at 400 watts RMS.
A built-in worldwide basemap is supplemented with micro G-chartTM
cartridges for detailed inland water and Navionics offshore cartography.
Outstanding saltwater sounder performance to 1200 feet.
The GARMIN GPSMAP 185 Sounder offers unique functionality to the
fisherman who wants it all. It boasts a generous display. A small footprint for
space-challenged installations. Powerful 12 parallel channel GPS perfor-
mance. Detailed digital chartplotting. And a 200 KHz sounder/fishfinder.
As for the Sounder, dual frequency operation lets you keep an eye on
both deep and shallow water. A variable zoom window shows details at the
touch of a button. And an exclusive underwater waypoint capability allows
you to store the position and depth of objects below the water’s surface.
GARMIN’s reputation as a navigation leader is evidenced in the GPSMAP
185 Sounder. Accurate 12 parallel channel GPS position information is dis-
played on a big built-in basemap. GARMIN micro G-chartTM cartridges give
you even greater map details for inland or offshore operations.
Despite all the capabilities of the GPSMAP 185 Sounder, it remains easy
to use. Uncluttered and intuitive, it has the distinct look and feel of a winner.
