The premier Garmin GPSMAP 527xs combination chartplotter/sounder has 60 percent more processing power than its previous generation for faster zooming and panning. Includes a 5” VGA display and HD-ID sonar with transducer and CHIRP capability (transducer sold separately). Built-in high-sensitivity 10 Hz Garmin GPS/GLONASS receiver updates position and heading 10 times per second to display fluid vessel movement and dramatically improves your ability to mark and navigate to 5,000 waypoints. Sonar recording coordinates the timing of the sonar return with your boat's position and saves digital information on the map. Also includes full wireless connectivity for exciting applications and comes preloaded with worldwide basemap.
