GPSMAP® 520s
Garmin International is pleased to announce the GPSMAP 520. For mariners with a keen eye for value, the versatile 520-series plotters deliver a lot of navigation for the money. They feature bright 5" QVGA colour displays, worldwide satellite imagery and a new simplified user interface. Like all Garmin plotters, these utilize WAAS/EGNOS-enabled GPS receivers for extreme high accuracy (typically within 3 meters).
The built-in sounder on the 520s combo model can scan as deep as 1500 feet/ 457 meters (with dual frequency transducer) to clearly paint depth contours, fish targets, structure, etc. The combo 520s also offers split-screen capability, so you can view map and sounder data simultaneously.
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.
