About
The Garmin Panoptix is forward facing sonar that allows you to see around the boat. The view is in 3D and real time, in the direction you point it. The screen is basically an x/y axis with depth and distance from the unit. You can see fish on the screen to know how far away from the unit and in what depth the fish are located.
Please Note
- We will not pick up or deliver the Garmin. If renting a boat and getting it delivered, we will transport with the boat. However, we will not drive to your location if the Garmin is not rented for the same period as the boat.
- We determine the rental period by the calendar day and NOT a 24 hour period. Ie. if you reserve the Garmin for a Saturday, it must be picked up and returned on Saturday.
