garmen 541s gps with plotter and sounder what do they mean with sounder
1102348
It is a depth sounder or fishfinder however you'll need to mount a transducer on your boat
1102349
The 541S is a combination GPS fishfinder but requires a transducer. A 541 is just a GPS.

Sounder refers to the 1,500 ft. max depth sonar. The unit is A 500 Watt RMS depth sounder with dual frequency capability.

Two things....one is it's ability to "sound" the bottom. In other words, it provides the depth of the water below the boat. It also locates fish activity, also known as a fish-finder.

as far as i know its the sensor that you put at the bottom back of your boat to track speed and fishes

You have to buy the appropriate chart set. The 78SC comes with a Worldwide Basemap but this is not satisfactory for precision navigation. I bought the Garmin Lakes & Rivers chart set for the US. This includes even really minor streams, lakes and rivers. This chart set includes data where rivers (inlets) meet the gulf or other coastal water. If you plan to navigate one of the coastal areas away from inlets, then you need to buy one of the blue water chart sets. You can download a purchased set (but have to physically install a memory card purchased from one of your local vendors) or buy a memory card from Garmin with the chart set already loaded. The download is faster if you are in a hurry. You have to buy the appropriate chart set. The 78SC comes with a Worldwide Basemap but this is not satisfactory for precision navigation.

It's a Garmin brand device. It's looks like any other transducer for a fish finder/sounder/SONAR... It mounts to the bottom of transom with the bottom of the transducer below the lowest part of the boat. It plots the bottom and shows grass. I haven't really used it as a fish finder or anything, but it's more reliable than my kid looking for shallow water from the bow. It will show in advance when you are approaching shallows and heavy grass.

I don't know. I have been using my unit for plotting different fishing spots.

Need a normally open relay and a 12v power supply for the sounder to make it work as a wired sounder. I installed a wave5800 wireless siren designed to be used with the L5100 system. Much easier to install and designed to be installed with the system

Actually, I am not aware of that wide discount; however, there are 3 types of those products as shown below one w/ sounder, W/GMR 18HD and W/GMR 24HD all with different prices. You can check out my listen for detail of each.1) Garmin GPSMAP® 740S GPS Chart plotter w/Sounder *Transducer Not Included Model: 010-00835-032) Garmin GPSMAP® 740S Radar Pack w/GMR™ 18 HD: Model: 010-00883-00 3) Garmin GPSMAP® 740S Radar Pack w/GMR™ 24HD :Model: 740S/GMR24HD

999si has GPS and ethernet built in. You will need a Y cable and two traducers to get all the fish finding stuff. Humminbird PC will only read the SD cards from the 999 and not communicate directly with the unit. 999si does not support Weathersense. LakeMaster Maps are very limited with the detailed maps of lakes. No refund if you open the box. Navionics maps have much better coverage of most lakes. If you are using with newer boat the 999si can display all normal gauges, iPilot control as well as radar.

You Need an AIRMAR P39 Transducer for deep water to 500' Garmin P/N 010-11050-00. For waters to 300' Garmin P/N 010-11050-10. To get full capabilities & faster talking between your new Tri-ducer and your Garmin 700 Series GPSMAP Chartplotter w/Sounder use the transducer that is rated using the NMEA 2000 communications specially offshore. From what I gathered the ping rate combined with sending speed or temp. data to plotter will almost overload the NMEA 0183 wiring. Like an old party line on your phone system, somebody is waiting to talk. Hope this information helps. I could've used it. Would've made my Garmin 740S Chartplotter w/sounder an easier way to find out what else I needed, & to calculate exactly what the combo operation would cost me. Plus I would also want 335.00 BlueChart g2 Vision card. I also like the idea I can add a radar at a later time by just plugging it in. So around $1953.00 I can run around my area of Alaska slaying fish and safely follow the bread crumbs to get back home.

South Carolina. ? Don't know. But I was looking at 3rd party maps and I did see ones with elevation/contour lines, above and below water line. BUT! the 598 only has one sd card slot so u have to keep exchanging if u want to save waypoints. "mark" is they're button name.this is one of the only differences from the 798 other then it screen size. And $$$ DISCLAIMER, this is what Ive found on the internet NOT actual testing so do ur own research or goto a place that actually sells them. By the way I use mine to find and salvage sinken boats in lakes. So ai rely alot on the side scanning. It works fantastic. I just wish they would have the image scan the same as the boat speed using sensors. That way u can hover over location. I don't know exactly what I want because u can switch to map view and use gps coordinates but...

I use the SC version. You can locate a point by stand Lat and Long designation, many foreign grid and US grid formats for the USNGS. The US grid appeared to be 6 digit. I hope this helps. Otherwise call Garmin USA and talk to technical for more specifics. They will glad to help.

The Gpsmap 78sc has charts for Ca and Hi. Only the sc, not the other models.

I recommend going to the Garmin web site, look up you model and see if its listed as an accessory or look up the BlueChart and see its compatible with your GPS model.

HUS039R - US All & Canadian West Coast g2 Hi Jerry, I'm no expert, but I've spent a little time researching this and I think you need "HUS039R - US All & Canadian West Coast g2." I suggest you follow the below link and see the interactive map for yourself. Goto https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-water/echomap-70s/maps/on-the-water-maps/bluechart-g2/prod6452.html and click the blue link beneath the words BlueChart G2 that says "Interactive coverage map." Once there, type the word "Alaska" and then click "Get Results". The search engine will find two items. Go to the map and zoom out until you can see the entire Pacific waters. Next, hover your mouse pointer over the results item called "US039R." An orange box will appear over the map indicating the map coverage area. Hope this helps. EW N.O. Louisiana

It doesn't have a data screen like the earlier models---the "where am I" screen which gave all sorts of information about altitude and even latitude & longitude. This model has none of that, however when you program in the address of your destination, it does show the distance and time of arrival. If it's a long trip and stops are made for lunch, gas, etc. it will recalculate the time of arrival. The one nice feature of this model is that it no longer says the irritating "recalculating," instead it merely tells you what you need to do to correct a wrong tunn and then when you're back on track, it tells you to "continue on route."

The don't work together. Both are GPS units and neither needs the other to function. Each does the same job, it's just that one has a larger display than the other.

What's up Frank! Hope you're doing well. I think you might have to update the maps. I am not a specialist, but I recently recieved a message on my GPS startup screen to update the map (have yet to do so). Last year when this issue happened, the map update helped fix address issue, temporarily. Gramin offers free up-to-date maps on their website. Overall it is a good GPS for finding LOCAL locations. I have found that once you'd been to the area with the GPS on, it records the satellite points for faster access in the future. Make sure you flip open the antennae (square flap) to connect. Accuracy is like 7.65900/10 and has internal issues like the one Frank talked about. The GPS itself (internal software) is 5/10. It's okay and has bugs when you are typing in the address. It only accepts a specific format for addresses (something like zip code, city, house #, street name). I would recommend it only if you are looking for something cheap and are somewhat are familiar with the compass rose and major landmarks in the city.
