Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 93sv vs Garmin Striker 7SV

Buy the ECHOMAP UHD2 93sv if you want a chartplotter first: a 9-inch touchscreen, built-in Garmin Navionics+ Inland mapping, and the GT56 transducer with Ultra High-Definition SideVü and DownVü. Buy the Striker 7SV if you mainly want a fishfinder and already know your water, since it has no preloaded charts and a smaller 7-inch non-touch screen. Owners of both praise Garmin sonar clarity and reliability; the ECHOMAP is the bigger step up in screen, mapping and trolling motor integration.

• Choose the ECHOMAP UHD2 93sv if you fish unfamiliar water, want charts on screen without adding a card, and want a touchscreen big enough to split sonar and map.
• Choose the Striker 7SV if you want solid CHIRP, ClearVü and SideVü sonar on a budget-minded 7-inch unit and navigate by waypoints rather than charts.
