Garmin Striker Vivid 7cv with GT20-TM Transducer

Overview

See fish and structure with high-contrast vivid colour palettes, built-in GPS and Garmin CHIRP + ClearVü support in a larger 7-inch display that suits inflatable boat fishing and small craft where screen clarity matters.

Why it’s a great upgrade for SIB fishing

• 7-inch display – gives you more screen space for split views and clearer target separation on the drift.
• Vivid sonar palettes – choose from 7 colour options to make fish and structure stand out in the conditions you fish most.
• Waypoint marking – save productive marks, launch points and drift lines so you can repeat sessions with confidence.
• High-sensitivity GPS – plan routes, track speed and get back on the line without guesswork.
• Quickdraw Contours – create your own maps with 1 ft contours to build detail on your local marks.

Sonar and GPS features

Clear, colourful sonar

Pick a vivid colour palette that matches your fishing style so arches, bait and bottom transitions are easier to interpret at a glance.

Built-in sonar and transducer pairing

• GT20-TM included – gives Garmin CHIRP traditional sonar and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar straight out of the box.
• Optional transducer capability – the unit also supports compatible transducers that add SideVü scanning if you choose to upgrade later.

Waypoint marking and route planning

• Hot spot saving – mark structure, drop-offs and bait-holding areas so you can return quickly on future trips.
• Speed and COG – track your speed and course over ground to fine-tune lure action and repeat drifts more accurately.

Quickdraw Contours mapping

Record your own maps and store up to 2 million acres with 1 ft contours so you can build detail where chart coverage is limited.
