Garmin Fish Finders & Chartplotters

An Amazing 5-inch Chartplotter/Sounder Combo

• 5-inch 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.

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.

Built-in wireless connectivity allows you to connect to and access marine-specific apps via smartphone or tablet.

Extreme Sonar Capabilities

The built-in sonar capabilities of the GPSMAP 527xs gives you the freedom and flexibility to choose from several optional transducers, including 50/200 kHz, 77/200 kHz, ClearVü scanning sonar and CHIRP. It will also support Minn Kota® and MotorGuide® trolling motor transducers.

Allow networked combos to share their internal sonar with any other device on the network. The 527xs also includes sonar-recording capability that coordinates the timing of the sonar return with your boat's position and saves digital information for playback on a computer using HomePort™ planning software.

CHIRP Support

When used with a compatible CHIRP transducer (sold separately), GPSMAP 527xs displays crystal-clear sonar images detailing fishing hot spots, ship wreckage or a diving location. With Garmin CHIRP technology, you get remarkable target separation and resolution at extraordinary depths, and can dial into specific frequencies to target certain species of sport fish. Bottom contours are more visible, even at speed, 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 Garmin autopilot, engine data, SiriusXM Weather radar and more.

Networking

The GPSMAP 527xs offers select networking capabilities that allow you to share features with other compatible GPSMAP units, such as radar, GCV 10 ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonar, supplemental maps, and user data, including waypoints, routes and tracks. User data entered into 1 chartplotter can be automatically synced with other chartplotters in a network.

Special Sailing Features

Supported sailing features include laylines, enhanced wind rose, heading and course-over-ground lines, true wind data fields and tide/current/time slider. Gauge displays are designed to provide important need-to-know information at a glance, including true and apparent wind angle, set and drift, true or apparent wind speed, horizontal or vertical graphs, and a data bar with customizable data fields.

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.
