An Amazing Chartplotter/Sounder Combo
- 5" VGA display
- 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver
- HD-ID™ sonar
- Wireless connectivity
- Worldwide basemap
GPSMAP 527xs combination chartplotter/sounder with preloaded worldwide basemap allows for easy visibility, day or night. Whether it is flat, flush or swivel-mounted, it will be the focal point of your helm. And of course, it’s powerfully simple to use.
Super-fast 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS
With the integration of a 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver, the 527xs refreshes position and heading up to 10 times per second. It displays constant and fluid on-screen location and proves to be incredibly accurate when marking waypoints and navigating.
Advanced Sonar Support
Built-in support for a wide selection of Garmin transducers, including 50/200 kHz, 77/200 kHz, DownVü scanning sonar and CHIRP. In addition, it will also support Minn Kota® and MotorGuide® trolling motor transducers.
The Advantage of CHIRP Technology
When used with a compatible CHIRP transducer (sold separately), GPSMAP 527xs displays crystal-clear sonar images to help find the next hidden fishing spot, ship wreckage or diving location. Garmin CHIRP sonar allows you to see target separation and resolution at extraordinary depths, and dial into specific frequencies to target certain species of sport fish. Bottom contours are more visible, and signal noise can be suppressed at greater depths to provide a more timely interpretation of what’s below for safer navigation and better fishing.
NMEA 2000® Support
This combo allows you to add more capabilities to your boat. It provides NMEA 2000 support so you can see valuable information on your screen for autopilot, engine data, SiriusXM weather and more.
Networking
The GPSMAP 527xs offers select networking capabilities that allow you to share features with other compatible GPSMAP units, such as supplemental maps, and user data, including waypoints, routes and tracks. User data can be automatically synced with other chartplotters in the network.
Special Features for Sailing
Supported sailing features include laylines, enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, true wind data fields and tide/current/time slider.
GND™ 10 Black Box Interface
The GND 10 black box interface seamlessly integrates Nexus instruments and sensors with the Garmin family. It converts data between the Nexus network and NMEA 2000® to provide trouble-free compatibility between Nexus and Garmin products, including gWind™ and gWind Race wind transducers.
Compatible with gWind Transducers
Garmin gWind, gWind Wireless and gWind Race transducers feature twin-fin technology with 3-bladed propeller. Connect to the NMEA 2000 and compatible Garmin chartplotters via the GND 10 black box bridge.
View and Control Your Device From an iPhone® or iPad®
Garmin Helm allows you to view and control your compatible Garmin chartplotter from an iPhone or iPad — while providing enhanced situational awareness for the mariner. Easily switch between portrait and landscape mode to accommodate mounting preferences. Using your Apple digital mobile device, you can even record a movie of your chartplotter screen to share with friends and family. Download from the App Store™ today
