Navigate the Lake

The GPSMAP 536s comes ready to go with preloaded U.S. Inland Lake map data. For areas outside the U.S., the GPSMAP 536s has a worldwide basemap with satellite images in place of more traditional maps. The GPSMAP 536s also comes standard with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for superior satellite tracking and quicker acquisition times. In addition, the GPSMAP 536s 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 Transducer Included

The GPSMAP 536s comes with a powerful dual-beam transducer that clearly illustrates depth contours, fish targets and structures whether you're fishing in freshwater or off the coast. The GPSMAP 536s are also NMEA 2000-certified for easy connectivity with sensors, instruments and future marine offerings.

Add Extras with Inland Lakes Vision

With the optional Inland Lakes Vision SD card, you can add a whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter.

• MarinerEye view and FishEye view provide you a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above and below the waterline.
• High-resolution satellite images to 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.

XM WX Weather & Radio Ready

Add Garmin's GXM 51, powered by the GPSMAP's NMEA bus, and you can deliver U.S. graphical weather data directly to your compatible Garmin chartplotter. Plus, with a subscription, you can even use the GXM 51 to enjoy over 170 channels of quality audio entertainment via XM Satellite Radio.
