Our verdict
The 9-inch fish finder to buy if you want side imaging and lake charts on one sharp screen. On a smaller console, the 7-inch ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv gives the same sonar and charts.
Pros and cons
Pros
- 1024 x 600 pixels on a 9-inch screen, against 800 x 480 on the STRIKER Vivid 9sv and Lowrance Elite FS 9
- Side and down imaging plus traditional CHIRP from the included GT56UHD-TM transducer
- Navionics+ U.S. Inland charts preloaded
- Built-in wireless shares sonar and waypoints with a second UHD2 unit, per Garmin
Cons
- Garmin does not publish a depth rating for the GT56UHD-TM; the 2,300 ft manual figure depends on the transducer
- Garmin's manual says no swivel base is available for the 9-inch models
- At 2.9 lb and over 10 inches wide, it is too large for most kayak dashboards

Who it suits
Bass boat, jon boat and small center-console owners who have room on the console for a 9-inch screen and want side imaging, down imaging and lake charts on one display. Garmin lists a 1024 x 600 touchscreen, 500 W (RMS) of transmit power, the GT56UHD-TM transducer and preloaded Garmin Navionics+ U.S. Inland charts.
The 7-inch version shares the sonar and charts: see ECHOMAP UHD2 93sv vs 73sv.
Who should skip it
Kayak anglers and anyone short on dash space: the head unit is about 10.4 inches wide. A STRIKER Vivid 5cv fits a kayak far better. If you already run Lowrance gear, compare it with the Lowrance Elite FS 9 in ECHOMAP UHD2 93sv vs Elite FS 9.
What we could not confirm
Garmin's manual gives a sonar depth of 2,300 ft at 77 kHz but says depth depends on the transducer, water and bottom type, and it does not publish a figure for the GT56UHD-TM, so we leave depth as not confirmed. The weight and dimensions are Garmin's figures for the 9-inch sv models in the owner's manual.
