New Garmin® Fishfinder 120 Boasts Big Picture, Small Price TagOLATHE, Kan. — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), today announced the Fishfinder 120, an ideal sonar for the recreational angler. The Fishfinder 120 builds on the highly successful Fishfinder 80 as an innovative and reasonably priced sonar device. The Fishfinder 120 was formally introduced at the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST), held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "The Fishfinder 120 is a perfect balance of functionality and affordability," said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s director of marketing. "Weekend anglers have been asking for a quality built, feature-packed sonar unit with a large, easy-to-view display — that doesn’t break the bank. That’s exactly what the Fishfinder 120 delivers." The Fishfinder 120 features a robust 240x128 pixel, four-level grayscale display in a 4.5-inch diagonal screen, making it one of the largest displays and highest resolution fishfinders in its class. The display takes full advantage of Garmin’s patented Depth Control Gain® (DCG) and its See-Thru® technology, helping anglers determine bottom hardness and locate fish in difficult hiding spots, like thermoclines and underwater structure. And at the touch of a button, the Fishfinder 120 lets anglers adjust the range, gain, and zoom functions quickly and easily. The Fishfinder 120 also features Garmin’s innovative 360-degree swivel mount and quick release mechanism to increase utility and security. Also included with the unit is a temperature sensing 200-kHz transducer, which transmits at 800 watts (peak-to-peak) and 100 watts (RMS), to a maximum depth of 600 feet. The patented transducer design allows for mounting on either the transom or trolling motor.
