Additionally, it supports optional Navionics charts, giving anglers a broader range of mapping tools to optimize their fishing experience.

The 786CI also includes features like an auto-chart function, allowing users to create custom maps based on their sonar readings. The built-in SmartStrike feature provides insights into the best fishing times and locations based on real-time data and historical trends, enhancing the chances of a successful catch.
