Our take on the Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7cv Fishfinder

The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7cv is a 7-inch fishfinder with built-in high-sensitivity GPS and a GT20-TM transducer in the box. It pairs CHIRP traditional sonar, rated to about 1,900 feet, with CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar for side-to-side views of structure and bottom, rated to about 750 feet. Seven color palettes let you recolor the returns so fish stand out from cover and bottom. It suits freshwater anglers who want a large, bright screen and GPS waypointing without stepping up to a networked chartplotter; rivals at this level often give you a smaller display or drop GPS, while units with side-imaging or mapping go further upmarket.

About the Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7cv Fishfinder

The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7cv is a fishfinder with a 7-inch WVGA color display at 800 x 480 resolution. It offers seven color palettes to help fish targets stand out from structure and bottom contours. It comes with the GT20-TM transducer, which combines CHIRP traditional sonar with CHIRP ClearV scanning sonar. Traditional sonar reads depth up to 1,900 feet. ClearV gives side-to-side views up to 750 feet.

High-sensitivity GPS lets you mark waypoints, plot routes and track boat speed. Quickdraw Contours creates your own maps with 1-foot contours and stores up to 2 million acres. Maps can be shared through the Quickdraw Community in the ActiveCaptain app. The app also provides smart notifications, waypoint transfers and software updates over Wi-Fi.

Ultrascroll keeps targets visible at high speeds, AutoGain reduces noise, and Fish Symbol ID marks likely fish. A-Scope shows a real-time view of the sonar beam, and the unit has adjustable depth lines and split-screen zoom. The unit is rated IPX7 for water resistance and sits on a tilt/swivel mount. The GT20-TM mounts on the transom or a trolling motor.
