Review
The GPSMAP 168 Sounder
packs a boatload of features in a sleek
unit that won't eat up precious onboard
space.
The GPSMAP 168 Sounder is a combination
GPS receiver and chartplotter which includes
a depth-finder. The unit also contains an
impressive list of features including a
powerful 12 parallel channel GPS receiver
and tide prediction tables. Featuring a
built-in worldwide basemap with U.S. highways,
interstates, rivers, and lakes, the GPSMAP
168 Sounder also can download up to 2.5
MB of extra map data from Garmin's MapSource®
line of CD-ROMs, including Fishing Hot Spots®
and U.S. Waterways & Lights.
Physically, the unit resembles Garmin's
popular Fishfinder 240. It measures about
five by six inches in size and boasts a
four-level gray FSTN LCD display with 240
x 240 pixels. Even in the dark the unit
is easy to read, thanks to a backlit display.
Additionally, the GPSMAP 168 Sounder has
a 150-watt depth-finder to make catching
fish a whole lot easier. The unit features
Garmin's exclusive See-Thru® technology
which will help separate fish returns from
thermoclines and structure. What's more,
a graphic whiteline on the GPSMAP 168 Sounder
provides a clear image of both bottom hardness
and structure.
