Do You Want More From Chartplotters?
These days Chartplotters offer enhanced features, which once fully implemented can change the way you see information when sailing.
The screens are designed to display information in all lights and of course the dark too.
The basic features of any device allow you to:
- Know your speed over ground (SOG)
- Your course of ground (COG)
- Judge depth under the keel
The whole of the US and the world is mapped by region. This allows a high degree of detail;
which often includes:
- Recent depth readings
- Plotted currents
- Tide information
As the information changes, it is a good idea to keep up to date.

Get a feel for where you are simply and effectively
By inserting data cards either pre programmed or self programmed you can have all the waypoints you'll ever need at your finger tips. If your planning a trip outside of the range of data then remember to get the data card for the area your sailing - or you'll fall off the map!
Batteries
Batteries come in lithium format to save on weight. When charged they can be used for over ten hours.
Also you can access tide tables plus celestial tables for sun and moon calculations. With a bracket attachment you can holster them within the cockpit saving trips down below.
