What customers say about "Key Specs"
Garmin Striker 5cv Plus (010-01872-00) GPS Fish Finder
- Have this on my small boat, works just like it’s big brother..
- I've been using this gps for a couple months now. Works great! Wish I could find a video or instructions on how to use the mapping
- A very good fish finder with excellent structure scan, I just don't understand why they don't include a way to use it as a chart plotter (it does have active GPS).
- Worked great for our needs of scalloping
- Unit is ok, provides good depth and other info, but I have yet to see ANYTHING that even comes close to resembling a fish.
Garmin echoMAP 54cv (010-01799-01) CHIRP with transducer
- The performance of this unit is truely amazing. The clarity and resolution are really outstanding.
- It reads bottom well at speed and seems good at eliminating most interference.
- The resolution is great and detail very good for the great lakes.
- Good value for the money. The sonar works very good. Easy to use.
- This an excellent unit with great features. If you want a compact GPS/Depth sounder this is a great choice.

What customers say about "Interface"
Garmin Striker 5cv Plus (010-01872-00) GPS Fish Finder
- Works great, lots of information. I like that you can set waypoints. Easy to install
- This is a huge advantage in lake trout fishing. You can skirt underwater structure, and get your lure in the "Strike Zone" consistently. I wish I had bought this years ago.
- Once you have made a few passes and have a map made up, you can fallow the same route along edges and ledges and it is accurate to a few feet.
- Near photographic images of what passes below your boat??? NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Garmin echoMAP 54cv (010-01799-01) CHIRP with transducer
- The display is very clear and easy to read even in direct sunlight.
- The Blue charts show most of the local artificial reefs.
- Both chart and sonar are clear and easy to view even in full sunlight.
- Colors are bright an crisp,very good depth display.
- Chart maps, depth finder, fish finder, all in one. Screen has great lighting, buttons are good rubber and the menus are easy to follow.

What customers say about "Features"
Garmin Striker 5cv Plus (010-01872-00) GPS Fish Finder
- Good product took some time for GPS line to show up but was able to return to our start location when we were done.
- This fit my needs like a glove. This unit is easy to use, I have yet to have to read the online manual to do or adjust anything.
- Did not come with what it said it would have.. returned it
- The only draw back is that it will not keep a depth reading at speeds above 15 MPH, which would be great for mapping. But is steady, rock solid at trolling speeds.
- The only issue is the documentation is online and not included except for a quick guide.
Garmin echoMAP 54cv (010-01799-01) CHIRP with transducer
- The GPS function seems to be as accurate as can be expected.
- It comes with an nice mounting bracket and a template for flush mount. Unit easily detaches from mount for storage.
- This GPS would have cost $1,000 a few years back. Garmin quality.
- Great system. Easy to install. Everything I was looking for at a great price.
