What is the difference between the 4cv and the 4?

The 4cv adds CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar and ships with the GT20 transducer. The base Striker 4 has traditional sonar only.

Does it include a transducer?

Yes. It comes with the GT20 transducer, a tilt/swivel bail mount, and transom and trolling motor mounting hardware and cable.

Can I use it on saltwater?

It is built and marketed for freshwater. The sonar works in saltwater, but the unit is aimed at lakes and rivers.

Does it have GPS and mapping?

Yes. It has high-sensitivity GPS for waypoints, routes and boat speed, plus Quickdraw Contours to create and save maps with 1-foot contours.

Can I add a map card?

No. The Striker Vivid 4cv has no memory card slot, so it relies on its base map and your Quickdraw maps.

Use the included tilt/swivel bail mount on a flat surface, or the transom or trolling motor hardware for the transducer.
