The GPSMAP 551 is a compact chartplotter that features an ultra-bright 5 QVGA colour display along with an improved high-speed digital design for increased map drawing and panning speeds. It s ready to go with an easy-to-use interface and a built-in, satellite-enhanced basemap preloaded with BlueChart g2 charts for Australia and New Zealand. The GPSMAP 551 also accepts BlueChart g2 Vision cards for added features and functionality such as high-resolution satellite imagery, Mariner s and Fish Eye views and Auto Guidance technology. Explore the Seas The GPSMAP 551 comes ready to go with preloaded BlueChart g2 for Australia and New Zealand. For all other areas, the GPSMAP 551 has a worldwide basemap with satellite images in
place of more traditional maps. The GPSMAP 551 also comes standard with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for superior satellite tracking and quicker acquisition times. And with an SD card slot, it s easy to add additional maps without connecting to a computer. Add Sonar Where applicable, the sounder version, GPSMAP 551s, comes with a powerful dual-frequency transducer that clearly illustrates depth contours, fish targets and structure whether you re fishing in freshwater or off the coast. The GPSMAP 551 and GPSMAP 551s are also NMEA 2000- compatible for easy connectivity with sensors, instruments and future marine offerings. Add Extras with BlueChart g2 Vision With the optional BlueChart g2 Vision SD card, you can add a whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter. 3D Mariner s and Fish Eye view provides you with a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above and below the waterline High-resolution satellite images help you orient yourself in unfamiliar areas Auto Guidance technology searches through all relevant charts to create a route you can actually follow one that avoids obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other obstructions Physical & Performance Unit dimensions, WxHxD Display size, WxH Display resolution, WxH Display type Weight Waterproof Maps & Memory Basemap Ability to add maps Accepts data cards 5.9" x 6.4" x 2.9" (15.0 x 16.3 x 7.4 cm) 3.0" x 4.0", 5.0" diagonal (7.6 x 10.2 cm, 12.7 cm diagonal) 234 x 320 pixels QVGA display less than 1.75 lb (0.8 kg) (IPX7) SD card slot Waypoints/favorites/locations 3,000
