Explore the Seas

The GPSMAP 546s comes ready to go with preloaded U.S. coastal area map data. For areas outside the U.S., the GPSMAP 546s has a worldwide basemap with satellite images in place of more traditional maps. The GPSMAP 546s also comes standard with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for superior satellite tracking and quicker acquisition times. In addition, the GPSMAP 54s6 can receive U.S. graphical weather data via optional GXM 51 satellite receiver/antenna. And with an SD card slot, it's easy to add additional maps without connecting to a computer.

Sonar Included

The GPSMAP 546s comes with a powerful dual-frequency transom-mount transducer that clearly illustrates depth contours, fish targets and structures--whether you're fishing in freshwater or off the coast. You'll get depth readings of up to 1,500 feet, real-time fish detection, various zom levels, and better visibility thanks to Garmin's Auto Gain feature.

The GPSMAP GPSMAP 546s is also NMEA 2000-certified for easy connectivity with sensors, instruments and future marine offerings.

• MarinerEye view and FishEye view provide you 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.
