The GPS Receiver included with your 500 Series™ Fishfinder allows you to
combine easy-to-use FishingGPS® chartplotter and navigation capabilities with
advanced fishfinding.
The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 500 Series™
Fishfinder when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:
• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks, waypoints, and routes
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.
Your 500 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™
Premium on MMC or SD card media. You can insert optional-purchase cards in
the (MMC)/SD slot on your control head to access additional detailed maps.
See Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot for more information.
NOTE: Your 500 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, and HotMaps™
Premium. Your 500 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts or Platinum™
Cartography.
Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a more detailed map of
North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and
Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).
Your 500 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat
automatically, and it uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select
the best chart to display. See Chart View: Viewing Cartography for more
information.
