Detailed description

Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5cv GPS · without transducer

Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5cv GPS · without transducer. Traditional CHIRP sonar and ClearVü scanning below the boat. Quickdraw Contours. 010-02551-02.

Display and onboard controls

The colour display keeps sonar and navigation information together in a compact unit. Keypad controls let you select views and adjust the presentation during a fishing trip. The dimensions and resolution of this particular version are listed in the specification table; they should not be confused with those of other display sizes in the range.

Traditional CHIRP sonar for fish and bottom detail

Traditional sonar represents echoes returned by fish and the bottom. CHIRP uses a sweep of frequencies to provide more detailed information and improve the separation of nearby targets. It helps you identify fish arches and bottom changes, alongside depth readings and water-temperature information. The frequencies supported by the unit may differ from those available with the transducer actually fitted.

ClearVü: explore below the boat

ClearVü adds a downward-looking scanning view to help you recognise structure, submerged objects and changes in the bottom. It complements traditional sonar: use one view to locate targets and another to understand the surroundings. This version supports ClearVü when used with an appropriate compatible transducer.

Seven high-contrast Vivid colour palettes

Seven Vivid colour choices let you select the presentation that is easiest to read for the light, location and your own preferences. Contrast helps distinguish fish, bottom and structure. Changing the palette changes the display of the information; the detail captured still depends on the transducer and operating conditions.

Built-in GPS, waypoints, routes and speed

The high-sensitivity GPS receiver lets you mark fishing spots, ramps, docks and other points of interest, return to saved positions and view boat speed. Routes and tracks help retain a useful reference for your journey. This STRIKER offers waypoint and track navigation; it does not load commercial nautical charts like a mapping chartplotter.

Personal maps with Garmin Quickdraw Contours

Quickdraw Contours creates bottom maps as you travel with sonar operating. Its 30 cm contours let you record the bottom shape in your own fishing areas and consult it on later trips. Build a record of explored locations without specialist mapping knowledge. Quickdraw fishing maps do not replace official navigation charts.

Tools for adjusting and interpreting sonar

Split-screen zoom helps you examine part of the water column in more detail. Automatic gain assists with echo presentation, fish symbols provide an alternative display and the adjustable depth line helps place a target. A-scope displays echoes in real time as they pass through the sonar beam. Bottom lock helps maintain a reference to the bottom.

Transducer and contents of this exact part number

This version is supplied without a transducer. It can replace or extend an existing installation when the transducer and connections are compatible. Add a suitable transducer to obtain sonar images; it is not included in the price of this part number.
