  • Our take on the Garmin Striker Vivid

    The Garmin Striker Vivid is a standalone fishfinder line with bright, high-contrast color palettes and built-in GPS. The cv models (4cv, 5cv, 7cv) use the GT20-TM transducer for CHIRP traditional and ClearVü down-scanning sonar; the sv models (7sv, 9sv) use the GT52HW-TM and add SideVü scanning. Quickdraw Contours builds your own 1-foot contour maps, and Wi-Fi links to the ActiveCaptain app. It suits anglers who want sonar and mapping without a full chartplotter, and it undercuts networked units on features rather than screen size.

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat the Striker Vivid as a solid value fishfinder: clear sonar, easy setup and useful Quickdraw mapping. Complaints center on the small 4-inch screen, the lack of preloaded charts and the work needed to get a clean transducer reading.

    • SetupMixedMenus are easy, but transducer mounting and routing take care for clean readings.
    • ChartsCriticisedBuyers note there are no preloaded charts, so mapping is up to the user.
