Product Description

With an easier-to-use interface and sleek new design, the 540-series pack more value for your navigation dollar. They feature bright 5" QVGA color displays and come ready to launch right out of the box with built-in cartography, new worldwide satellite imagery, and a new streamlined user interface. The 540- series is preloaded with highly-detailed BlueChart g2 marine cartography of the coastal United States - including Alaska, Hawaii and the Bahamas. This data provides detailed coastlines, shaded depth contours, navaids, port plans, wrecks, restricted areas and tide and current information. The powerful builtin analog sounder found in the 540s can scan as deep as 1500' (in dual frequency mode) and features UltraScroll for high-speed screen updates. The 540s also offers split-screen viewing of map and sounder data for easy, continuous reference. See real-time weather displayed on the 540-series' highresolution, sunlight readable display with the purchase of the GXM 31 antenna (sold separately) and subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather. View vital weather data such as NEXRAD radar, storm cells, wind speeds, surface temperatures, forecasts and more than a dozen other weather attributes directly on the unit's chart - so you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time worrying about the weather. Plug in optional BlueChart g2 Vision cards to add true 3D-view detailed mapping capabilities (both above and below the waterline), plus helpful auto guidance, high-resolution photomapping detail, and "real picture" aerial photos of ports, harbors, marinas, waterways, navigation landmarks and other points of interest.

Opened the box connected the cables to a battery and I was using the Garmin in 5 mins. It is very easy to use and it has alot more information then I expected. Great unit, I would tell me friends to buy one today. You can go wrong with a Garmin.

Amazingly easy to use... compared to my old simrad.. the screen is quite clear and easy to read in sunlite.. the screen resolution for depth, and bouy locations is hard to find the right scale sometimes, but for the price I'll make due.. probably caused by the gmaps vs cmaps..
