Garmin Striker Vivid 5cv Fishfinder — 5-inch Color Display, CHIRP & ClearVü, Quickdraw Contours (010-02551-00)

Meet the Garmin Striker Vivid 5cv, a compact 5 inch color fishfinder designed for simple setup and clear on-water reading. Its new vivid scanning sonar color palettes bring underwater detail to life, helping you differentiate fish, structure, and bait balls at a glance. When paired with a compatible transducer, you can access Garmin CHIRP traditional sonar for crisp echoes and CHIRP ClearVü scanning sonar for a broad underwater view that reveals what lies beneath the surface.

On deck readability matters. The device features a high-sensitivity GPS that lets you mark productive spots, plan efficient routes, and monitor your boat speed as you move across the water. The built-in Quickdraw Contours software lets you create and save maps with 1-foot contours, providing a personal map layer you can refine as you gain local knowledge and fish more efficiently over time.
