Chartplotter Features
Preloaded charts: Garmin Navionics+, Humminbird LakeMaster, Lowrance C-MAP, and similar cartography systems with 1-foot contours on most US lakes.
Auto Guidance: Automatic route calculation that plots a safe path from point A to point B.
Multi-band GPS: Improved position accuracy in areas with tree cover, bluffs, or reflected signal.
Wireless networking: Share waypoints, routes, and sonar data between multiple units on the boat.
Marine system integration: Connect to autopilot, radar, VHF, and engine data through NMEA 2000 networks.
What is the difference between a chartplotter and a GPS?
A handheld GPS shows your position as coordinates or on a basic basemap. A chartplotter is a marine-specific device that shows your boat on detailed nautical charts with depth contours, navigation aids, hazards, and points of interest.
Do I need a chartplotter if my fish finder has GPS?
Most modern combination units serve as both a fish finder and a chartplotter. Dedicated standalone chartplotters are typically purchased for larger boats with multiple displays, where one display handles navigation while another handles sonar.
