Our take on the Garmin Striker Vivid 9sv 9 Fishfinder GPS Track Plotter

The Garmin Striker Vivid 9sv is a 9-inch fishfinder and GPS track plotter with CHIRP traditional sonar and ClearVü scanning sonar. Its selling point is the 800 x 480 WVGA display with seven vivid sonar color palettes that make fish arches and bottom structure easier to read in bright sun and murky water. It has no built-in maps or chartplotter charts; you get waypoint and track plotting on a basic basemap, so it suits anglers who want a large, clear sonar screen and will supply their own transducer and mapping. Against pricier Garmin combos it trades cartography and networking for screen size and sonar clarity.

Questions and answers

Does the Striker Vivid 9sv come with a transducer?
This unit is the head unit only; you pair it with a compatible CHIRP or ClearVü transducer. Check that your transducer supports both traditional and scanning sonar.
Does it have built-in lake maps?
No. It has a basic basemap for waypoints and tracks, not detailed lake or coastal charts. Plan on adding charts separately if you need contours.
What is the screen resolution?
The 9-inch WVGA display is 800 x 480 pixels, which is what keeps sonar detail sharp in bright light.
Can it show traditional and ClearVü sonar at once?
Yes. Split-screen views let you run CHIRP traditional and ClearVü side by side, and zoom in on one pane without losing the wide view.
Is it a chartplotter?
It plots waypoints, routes and tracks on GPS, but it is a fishfinder first. It has no chart cards, radar or networking like Garmin's chartplotter combos.
Who is it for?
Anglers who want a big, clear sonar screen and simple track plotting, and who already have or will buy a suitable transducer.
