New features standard on all new Garmin fishfinders include Ultrascroll, which allows boaters to get a much faster refresh rate on their sonar display, also an improved performance in shallow water making it easier to determine depth, structure, and fish targets, Auto gain, and user adjustable gain. For example, the top-of-the-line Garmin Fishfinder 340c offers a sunlight readable five-inch (diagonal) 320 x 234 pixel full-color TFT display, choice of either a dual frequency configuration (50kHz, 45 deg and 200 kHz, 10 deg), Water temperature, a round flasher-style display, and an A-scope display. Garmin’s entire line of new fishfinders is expected to be available in stores on March 25, 2006. Personally I enjoy not knowing where the fish are, but either way fishing is relaxing.
