Features

The GPSMAP 550 has a 5” QVGA display,  includes detailed coastal maps for the U.K. or Australia as well as a worldwide basemap of satellite images for other areas. The SD card slot makes it easy to add additional maps without connecting to a computer. And with just a few buttons and a simple, intuitive interface, the 550 makes navigating your way through the water easy. GPSMAP 550 is also CANet™ compatible, so you can share sounder data with another chartplotter on your boat.

With the optional BlueChart g2 Vision SD card, you can add a whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter, such as: 3D mariner’s eye view or fish eye view provides you with a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above the waterline and below it; High-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs; and auto Guidance technology searches through all relevant charts to create a route for you.
