The Garmin GPSMAP 923xsv is a sounder equipped with a 9-inch screen, touch for navigation at sea and fish detection. This plotter-sounder device outfitted with a high-resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) touch screen gives fishermen and boaters an excellent visibility and unmatched detection performance.
This GPS sounder available with or without an internal probe incorporates a 1 kW CHIRP module combined with three ultra-high definition scanning technologies:
- Traditional 2D CHIRP: classic sounder for detecting fish and underwater structures up to 1500 meters deep
- ClearVü CHIRP: high-resolution vertical imaging of the seabed with a photographic level of detail
- SideVü CHIRP: lateral sweep for viewing several hundred meters on either side of the boat
The Vivid color palette guarantees optimal contrast and accurate reproduction to easily identify fish, structures, and the nature of the seabed.
The GPSMAP 923xsv is compatible with the Garmin LiveScope (transducer sold separately), technology that allows real-time visualization of moving fish around your ship. This feature radically transforms fishing approach by offering a dynamic view of the underwater environment.
With a basic worldwide cartographic background included, this GPS plotter is optimized to operate with Garmin's BlueChart G3 and BlueChart G3 Vision marine charts. These premium charts combine Garmin and Navionics data for unmatched accuracy, including high-resolution bathymetric shading, tide data, and the Auto Guidance feature for assisted navigation.
With double the processing power compared to the previous generation, the GPSMAP 923xsv displays smooth transitions and instant responsiveness. The IPS WSVGA touchscreen offers wide viewing angles and excellent readability even in bright sunlight.
The plotter seamlessly integrates into a marine Garmin ecosystem through:
- Garmin Marine Network: data sharing with other equipment (radar, autopilot, sensors)
- NMEA 2000: connection to navigation instruments and engine data
- OneHelm™: digital switching to control compatible third-party equipment
- Built-in Wi-Fi: pairing with the Garmin ActiveCaptain app for Smart Notifications, software updates, OneChart function, and access to the Quickdraw community
- ANT Connectivity: connection to marine quatix watches, wireless anemometers, and other sensors
Sailors will appreciate the SailAssist mode providing:
- Laylines to optimize the edges
- Starting line indicator
- Enhanced wind rose
- Real and apparent wind data
- Tide, current, and drift display
The system accepts the addition of a 4 kW GMR 18 HD+ radar (optional) to improve safety in reduced visibility conditions and detect obstacles. Also, an automated Garmin pilot can be integrated for assisted navigation.
The GPSMAP 923xsv allows direct control of the Garmin electric motors like the Force Kraken via a Wi-Fi connection, providing precise control for optimal positioning during fishing sessions.
