Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Garmin GPSMAP 535s Chartplotter with Dual Beam Transducer provides a versatile chartplotter with the sharpest, most colorful graphics you've ever seen on a 5-inch screen. With plenty of built-in functionality and compatibility for upgrades or expansions, the 535s is the perfect companion for any boater looking to get out on the water and start exploring, or to simply plot a safe course from point A to point B.

The Garmin 535s chartplotter uses a crisp, ultra-bright, full-color 5-inch QVGA display with 640 x 480 pixels of resolution and over 800 nits of brightness. Driven by a high-speed processor, this screen offers exceptional detail, fast redraw rates, and the most realistic photo-enhanced cartography available in its class. The 535s lets you view your position with pinpoint accuracy to within less than three meters via its extremely accurate, WAAS/EGNOS-enabled GPS antenna, and comes with a built-in, satellite-enhanced worldwide basemap, as well as detailed maps of inland U.S. lakes. What's more, with an SD card slot providing compatibility with the optional BlueChart g2 Vision card, you can further enhance this unit's mapping capabilities with features such as high-resolution aerial reference photos for help navigating tricky harbors and channels, or locating spots like area marinas or fuel stops. The g2 Vision card also lets the 535s provide graphical depictions in a true 3D mariner's-eye topside view, or fish-eye underwater perspective.

The Garmin 535s features intuitive navigation with fewer buttons to push and operational steps to traverse, and a simplified menu format that makes it easier for you to see and select the data you want to access on-screen, as well as a tilt and swivel mount bracket that lets you set it for optimum positioning. The 535s also features a backlit keypad for easier operation at night, and a new night mode function that provides optimum readability in low-light conditions. The 535s can also provide auto guidance via the optional g2 Vision card, which searches all your chart features in order to suggest the best known charted route for navigation, so you always have a knowledgeable guide to local hazards and waterways on deck with you.

The 535s is designed to be easily adaptable to various conditions with a choice of dual-beam or dual-frequency sonar to clearly portray depth contours, fish targets, structure and more. This unit comes with dual-frequency, 80 kHz to 200 kHz transom-mount transducer with a wider beam for maximum freshwater performance. Made to be upgradeable and expandable, the Garmin 535s includes built-in CANet connectivity that enables its sonar data to be shared with other chartplotter displays on your boat. This unit weighs two pounds, and measures just 6.4 x 5.9 x 2.9 inches (W x H x D) allowing it to be placed virtually anywhere.

This review is from: Garmin GPSMAP 535s 5-Inch Waterproof Marine GPS and Chartplotter with Dual Beam Transducer (Electronics)

Terrific GPS/Plotter. Shows local inland lakes. Has accurate detail shoreline and some depth data. Unit is bright for use in day light. Sonar works fairly well in up to 200ft depths and as shallow as 3 ft. Unit starts up fast. Great unit for inland lakes. No down side for the price. Very compact, easy to mount and take off mount.
