Garmis just released their new lineup of fishfinders. The series includes the top of the line 340C which boasts a full-featured sonar that offers a sunlight readable five-inch (diagonal) 320 x 234 pixel full-color TFT display. The Fishfinder 340C is offered in either a dual frequency configuration (50kHz, 45 deg and 200 kHz, 10 deg) – or, for inland anglers needing a wider fish-finding cone, a dual beam model (80kHz, 45 deg and 200kHz, 14 deg). Water temperature, a round flasher-style display, and an A-scope display also come standard on the Fishfinder 340.

In addition, the 340C is also enabled with Garmin’s new CANet™ — a one-megabit Controller Area Network that allows users to connect their unit to one of the new GPSMAP® 200, 300, or 400-series chartplotter. This allows boaters to read sonar displays on chartplotters located elsewhere in the boat.

The other models in the new line of fishfinder series are the more affordable Fishfinder 160C, Fishfinder 140 for the value-minder boater, and the entry level Fishfinder 90.

Suggested retail price for Fishfinder 340C is $471, available in March of 2006.
