Description:
The GPSMAP 556 is a compact chartplotter that features a
high-resolution,
super-bright 5” VGA 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
marine charts for the UK and Ireland. The GPSMAP 556 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 556 comes ready to go with preloaded marine charts for the
UK and
Ireland. For all other areas, the GPSMAP 556 has a worldwide basemap
with
satellite images in place of more traditional maps. The GPSMAP 556 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
The sounder version, GPSMAP 556s, is compatible with an optional
dual-frequency transducer for clear illustration of depth contours, fish
targets
and structure whether you're fishing in freshwater or off the coast. The
GPSMAP
556 and GPSMAP 556s 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 and aerial photographs 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
