The 525s model comes with a powerful built-in 1,000-watt RMS digital sonar – which can scan for fish, structure or other items of interest lurking as deep as 2,000 feet (610 meters). It’s also CANet capable – so you can share the sonar picture with other plotter displays on your boat.
Options such as true 3D-view mapping, both above and below the waterline, plus available auto guidance safe-passage routings help simplify navigation. And an optional SD card slot makes it easy to plug in extra chart regions and features, as well as panoramic aerial photo reference.
Plug in optional BlueChart g2 Vision cards to add true 3D-view detailed mapping capabilities (both above and below the waterline), plus helpful auto guidance, high-resolution photomapping detail, and “real picture” aerial photos of ports, harbors,marinas, waterways, navigation landmarks and other points of interest.
