Cruise 5-5-inch GPS Chartplotter with 83/200 Transducer Preloaded C-MAP US Coastal Maps

Chart plotters have gotten more sophisticated and complicated over recent years, especially with all the networking that can be done. This has led to more difficulty in using them for casual crew members and even distracted skippers. The Simrad Cruise series offers a very capable but simple stand alone option. I cruise and race a 10 meter sloop off the Pacific Northwest and while I have a network system with gps chart plotter, VHF and race instruments all linked up in the forward cockpit I am installing the Simrad Cruise 9 at the helm and independently of the main nav system. I will have clear and simple info on position, course, speed and depth without burdening my crew with running the “network ” under often stressful race or weather conditions. Having two independent systems will add safety and redundancy as well. The pricing at under $400 US for a 9 inch screen is amazing value for a respected brand. Too bad the screen cover seems so expensive….

Perfect for creek boat, you'll need different map load.

GPS marin entrée de gamme, simple et intuitif. Simple à installer et à utiliser

Purchased C-Map north America charts and inserted into The Simrad Cruise and nothing shows up. Did not work. So far this chartplotter is useless to me ...PROBLEM RESOLVED. C-MAP & SIMRAD were a great help

For the price I got it for nothing else came close to the units features
