The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 106sv is a 10 inch Garmin chartplotter with a sunlight-readable touchscreen at 1280 x 800 pixels. It comes with Garmin Navionics+ mapping and a 1-year subscription for daily updates. It uses multi-band GPS for position accuracy and connects to heading sensors and autopilots on the boat network. Power is 9 to 18V DC. This version ships without a transducer.

Our take

This 10 inch ECHOMAP Ultra 2 comes without a transducer, so one is a separate purchase. The 1280 x 800 touchscreen and the built-in Navionics+ charts cover the navigation side from the start, with multi-band GPS behind it.

From our buying guide

What's in the box depends on the part number: Raymarine sells one screen display only, with charts, with a transducer, or with both. Not every chart card fits every plotter, either.

Check before you buy:

  • The part number includes the charts and transducer you expect.
  • It reads the charts you want, and you know how long their updates last, since many come with a one-year subscription.
  • A touchscreen suits your helm, since Raymarine warns that prolonged rain or water wash can cause false touches.
