Raymarine's new Dragonfly7

Award-winning CHIRP Sonar/GPS goes large with new 7in wide and wonderful screen

Raymarine has proudly introduced a new 7” wide-screen-display version of its award-winning Dragonfly Sonar/GPS. The Dragonfly7 offers more of everything including a wide screen so you can see more of what matters down below, up ahead and in the distance.



Since its launch last year, Dragonfly’s high-performance, dual-channel CHIRP sonar and GPS chartplotter combination has taken the fishing world by storm, bringing the power and crisp detail of advanced CHIRP DownVision sonar to inland and coastal anglers at a very affordable price.  



The new Dragonfly7 steps up the screen-size with a best-in-class 7” widescreen display and comes with the added advantage of optional overhead mounting, whilst maintaining tilt-and-swivel capability. 



Like the original Dragonfly, the larger display Dragonfly7 is designed to be incredibly easy to use: the intuitive Uni-controller lets anglers quickly dial through DownVision, sonar and GPS menu displays with ease.  



Dragonfly7 uses CHIRP technology to transmit across a wide spectrum of sonar signals -- the result is much higher fidelity sonar returns in both DownVision and fish-targeting sonar modes.    

       

Engineered for high performance and simple operation with automatic sonar optimisation, Dragonfly7 has 2 dedicated CHIRP sonar channels enabling anglers to enjoy simultaneous views of both fish-targeting sonar and lifelike DownVision imagery using the dual-sonar, split-screen display mode.
