Product Description

Product Description

Offshore fishermen and boaters will gravitate toward this sleek, space-saving chartplotter. The GPSMAP 440 features preloaded detailed maps for the U.S. coast as well as an ultra-bright 4" QVGA display; built-in, satellite-enhanced worldwide basemap and simplified user operation.The 440 has preloaded detailed maps that cover all U.S. coastal areas, including Alaska and Hawaii. For areas outside the U.S., the 440 has a worldwide basemap with satellite images in place of more traditional maps, and its SD card slot makes it easy to add additional maps without connecting to a computer. With fewer keys and a simple, intuitive interface, the 440 makes navigating your way through the water easy.Where applicable, the sounder version, GPSMAP 440s, comes with a powerful dual frequency transducer that clearly paints depth contours, fish targets and structure. It's also CANet compatible, so you can share sounder data with another chartplotter on your boat. The weather-enabled versions, GPSMAP 440x and 440sx, display XM satellite weather data, including NEXRAD radar, with the GXM 31 antenna.

3.0 out of 5 stars A step backwards for Garmin, September 8, 2007

By	Chesapeake Boater - See all my reviews

From the time you turn this unit you wonder what Garmin was thinking. Its hard to use, has a smaller screen than previous units (GPSMAP172C, for example), and the user manual is virtually useless...it doesn't even explain how to use many of the basic features. Also of note is the reduction in buttons which result in having to use too many sub-menus (by the time you figure out how to use the MOB feature the MOB will be a gonner). Way too complicated....took me hours to try to figure out how to use the features. On the plus side the screen is very bright even if the resolution is not the greatest (block letters are not as easy to read) and a good set of marine charts is standard. Its not all bad and it does do the job reasonably well, just a step backwards and very pricy. Garmin....you can do better!

5.0 out of 5 stars Garmin 440, June 17, 2009

By	Ben E. James, Jr. "Old Cracker" (Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use many of Garmin's products and have never been disappointed. The 440 chartplotter is no exception! The screen is somewhat small but very readable. It has quick startup and a user-friendly format. I recommend it for all Intercoastal Waterway boaters.

Don't get confused by the Amazon description of the Garmin 440 which is only a chartplotter. The description implies that it is also a Depth Finder but that is the 440 S which is the same unit with a power cord that has a jack for a transducer. The 440 is being phased out and replaced by the 462 which is over $600 but is not that much better. Currently West Marine is selling the 440S for $439 ; the transducer is an extra $67 so you end up with a Chartplotter/fishfinder Combo for around $500.
