Simrad GO9 XSE 9" Plotter Bundle vs Garmin Striker 7SV

The GO9 XSE is the more capable unit: a 9-inch touchscreen, built-in WiFi, NMEA 2000 control of autopilot and engine data, and a radar port. The Striker 7SV is a simpler, smaller fishfinder with solid CHIRP, ClearVü and SideVü sonar and GPS, but no networking or touchscreen. Buy the Simrad if you want a multifunction display that grows with the boat; buy the Garmin if you mainly want sonar and a waypoint map on a smaller dash.

• Choose the Simrad GO9 XSE if you want a touchscreen multifunction display with WiFi, NMEA 2000 integration and room for radar.
• Choose the Garmin Striker 7SV if you want straightforward CHIRP, ClearVü and SideVü sonar with GPS on a compact 7-inch screen.
