At Performance Fishing Electronics, we recently got our hands on the NEW Garmin Echomap Ultra 2 166sv, and in our unboxing and first impressions video, we gave you a close-up look at what makes this unit stand out. Now, let’s dive deeper into its features, performance, and why it’s quickly becoming a favorite among bass and crappie anglers.
Massive 16" Full HD Display
One of the first things you notice is the sheer size and clarity of the 16-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen. Whether you’re viewing mapping, sonar, or split-screen setups, every detail is sharp and easy to see — even in bright conditions. The large display also makes it easier to run multiple views at once without sacrificing detail.
Preloaded Garmin Navionics+ Mapping
Never waste time trying to figure out where to fish. The Echomap Ultra 166sv comes with preloaded Garmin Navionics+ mapping covering thousands of U.S. inland lakes and coastal areas. You also get Auto Guidance+™ technology to help you plot safe and efficient routes.
Fast Processing & Network Capability
This isn’t just a pretty screen — it’s powered by a fast processor that keeps menus, charts, and sonar running smoothly. Plus, it can network with other compatible Garmin units, share sonar, and integrate with Force® trolling motors, Panoptix™ transducers, and more.
