Catch Some Fish
The 298 comes with
a built-in dual-frequency 500-watt (RMS) sounder with Garmin’s
exclusive See-Thru® fish targeting technology. The sounder
features Ultrascroll™ for high-speed screen updates and can show
both the sonar and map on the screen at the same time. And, it can
even connect to another chartplotter or sounder with Garmin's
proprietary CANet™ connection.
