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 built-in 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’ high-resolution, 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.
