How to choose a GPS boat tracker ?

A boat GPS plotter is much more than a basic marine GPS. Depending on the model you choose, you can upgrade it with additional peripherals:

• AIS boat: connect a AIS receiver or AIS transponder to view nearby equipped boats.
• Marine radar: In fog or when sailing at night, view all ships and coastlines, and navigate around storms.
• Navigation instruments: Depending on your GPS plotter's compatibility, you'll be able to display loch speedo information, depth sounder, wind vane, engine information, compass...

And for the more demanding users who opt for a multifunction display, you can add a radar or depth finder to your GPS plotter. And enjoy all the functions of this type of device, whether for fishing or navigation.

What are the functions of a GPS plotter map reader?

The primary function of a GPS plotter is to locate your boat in real time using thebuilt-in GPS antenna. By adding a Navionics, Garmin or C-Map GPS marine chart, depending on the compatibility with your screen (see our mapping category), you will get the details of your navigation area.

A card reader may have a touch screen, a mixed touch screen and keys, or simply a physical button.

Save and find your favorite places or fishing spots quickly by placing individual markers called waypoints on your marine GPS.

Plan your navigations by simply programming your routes: place different waypoints according to your itinerary, and the GPS chartplotter will link them up thanks to theGPS antenna.
