Garmin GSDā„¢ 25 Premium Sonar Module Review

Garmin GSDā„¢ 25 Premium Sonar Module

The Garmin GSDā„¢ 25 Premium Sonar Module is a premium remote network sonar solution. This high-end model offers an exceptional fishfinding with superb bottom tracking capabilities.

Scanning Sonar Images

The GSDā„¢ 25 delivers the most detailed CHIRP ClearVĆ¼ and SideVĆ¼ scanning sonar images in the industry. The resolution, target separation and clarity of the sonar images offer an unparalleled view of fish and structure. Compatible Garmin chartplotters receive images with target details so precise and distinguishable that users can separate even small and closely spaced fish at depths down to 5,000 feet.

True Dual-channel 1kW CHIRP

This sophisticated module includes a true dual 1kW CHIRP as the mainline sonar technology for advanced target resolution and clarity. The CHIRP functionality, standing for Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse, ensures a significantly better viewing experience than any other sonar system. To optimise sonar performance, users can adjust CHIRP frequencies to different settings.

In order to ensure the best performance, Garmin has developed proprietary transducers, sold separately, that are specifically designed to work with this advanced sonar system.
