SonarPhone by Vexilar

Now you can turn your phone or tablet into a powerful touch screen fish finder.

Features & Capabilities

SonarPhone by Vexilar transforms your smartphone or tablet into a fully functional touch screen fish finder rivaling costly sonar systems. With a dedicated WiFi transmitter, it works independently of cell phone coverage, allowing usage anywhere worldwide. Choose from portable or boat-mounted transmitter options — the ultra-portable T-POD, the permanent T-BOX, or the portable T-BOX with battery pack.

The app supports 17 languages and features automatic ranging, depth and temperature indicators, audible alarms, and a multi-color display. Users can demo all features without a transmitter. Each purchase includes a bonus neoprene armband for safe, easy phone access. Specifications vary per transmitter model, offering depth ranges from 120 to 240 feet and high-speed data transmission up to 100 Mbps.

User Reviews

Overall, users find SonarPhone reliable and capable, with strong mapping and Navionics plotting, and versatile use cases. Common drawbacks are navionics integration issues after updates, intermittent connectivity, and limited settings/alarm customization.
Pros
  • Reliable performance and long-term usability across years and different conditions.
  • Accurate depth and fish mapping with useful visualization.
  • Navionics compatibility and plotting/waypoint features.
  • Versatile use across different boats and environments (kayak, river, winter exploration).
Cons
  • Navionics integration can break after updates or hang, causing sonar data to disappear.
  • Connectivity can be unstable with occasional disconnections requiring reconnection or reboot.
  • UI/settings limitations: options cannot be changed in the menu and depth alarm is too quiet.

I have used this in cooperation with Navionics for years, it Used to work well, but now, with the latest navionics update, you no longer get the sonar phone information on navionics. Please have this fixed. The sonar phone is useless to me now.
