Features

The GPSMAP 541 gives you a compact chartplotter with a vivid 5-inch QVGA color
display and an improved high-speed digital design that increases map drawing and
panning speeds. You also get a built-in, satellite-enhanced worldwide basemap
preloaded with all US coastal areas, including Alaska, Hawaii and Bermuda. Plus, the
interface is so easy to use, you’ll have no problem navigating open waters. Your
GPSMAP 541 accepts BlueChart g2 Vision cards, so you can add features and
functionality like high-resolution satellite imagery, Auto Guidance and 3D views.


Around the world from up above

Yes, your GPSMAP 541 is preloaded with US coastal area map data. And, if you’re
outside the US, your device’s worldwide basemap gives you satellite images instead of
traditional maps. You get a standard high-sensitivity GPS receiver for quick,
accurate satellite tracking and acquisition times, and an SD card slot that lets you
add additional maps without even connecting to your computer. You can also receive US
graphical weather data through the optional GXM 51 satellite receiver/antenna.

Your GPSMAP 541 is also NMEA 2000-certified for easy connectivity with sensors,
instruments and future marine offerings.

Customize your features

The optional BlueChart g2 Vision card gives you total control of your chartplotter’s
features. 

•    3D Mariner’s and Fish Eye view give you a 3D perspective of map information above
and below the surface.
•    High-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs help you familiarize
yourself in new areas.
•    Auto Guidance technology searches through all relevant charts to create a route
that avoids obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other obstructions.
