The Garmin Striker Vivid 5cv is a 5-inch color fishfinder built for small boats, kayaks and ice fishing. It runs Garmin CHIRP traditional sonar and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar, and its vivid color palettes make fish and structure easier to pick out from the bottom. A high-sensitivity GPS lets you mark waypoints, build routes and read boat speed, and built-in Quickdraw Contours maps the water as you go. It is a sonar-and-GPS unit, not a chartplotter with preloaded coastal maps, so it competes on sonar clarity and mapping tools rather than on built-in charts.
