The 530-series comes preloaded with coast-to-coast cartography for inland U.S. waters, of which over 5000 of these lakes and navigable waters include invaluable details such as extra resolution, depth contours, boat ramps, mile markers, hazards, marinas, campgrounds, area roads, and more. (Contiguous 48 states only)
The built-in sounder on the 530s combo model can scan as deep as 900 feet (with included dual beam transducer) to clearly paint depth contours, fish targets, structure, etc. The combo 530s also offers split-screen capability, so you can view map and sounder data simultaneously.
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.
