The GPSMAP 555 boasts the brightest, sharpest, most colorful graphics you’ve ever seen on a 5-inch screen. It boasts a 5” VGA display, includes detailed coastal maps for the U.K. or Australia as well as a worldwide basemap of satellite images for other areas,  SD card slot, and a simple, intuitive interface and high-speed processor. GPSMAP 555 is CANet™ compatible, so you can share sounder data with another chartplotter on your boat.
