Garmin’s Panoptix PS70 thru-hull transducer is powered by Garmin RapidReturn sonar, which gives you live sonar views up to 1,000′ below the surface and helps you see fish live and catch fish deep. As the fastest live sonar at 1,000 feet, images update at a minimum of 10 frames per second. This makes it easier to locate bait and fish quickly with a wide 120-degree by eight-degree sonar beam.

Advanced Sonar Modes

The four easy-to-understand sonar modes include:

  • LiveVü down mode for real-time underwater viewing
  • Traditional sonar for familiar fish finding
  • Triple-beam traditional sonar for enhanced coverage
  • RealVü 3D historical scanning technology for detailed bottom mapping

These modes allow you to select the view that works best for your circumstance, providing unmatched versatility for different fishing situations and water conditions.

Enhanced Mapping Capabilities

The new QuickDraw Contours feature improvements allow you to survey wide areas of the sea floor at depths up to 1,000 feet. This enhanced mapping capability provides anglers with detailed bottom contours and structure identification for more effective fishing strategies.
