Navigate Any Lake

The 530 comes preloaded with detailed maps for U.S. inland lakes, including 5300 lakes with shoreline, depth contours, navaids, and more. Over 300 of these lakes are enhanced with extra Inland Lakes Vision features (see below). For areas outside the U.S., the 530 has a worldwide basemap with satellite images in place of more traditional maps. The SD card slot makes it easy to add additional maps without connecting to a computer. And with just a few buttons and a simple, intuitive interface, the 530 makes navigating your way through the water easy.

The 530 boasts advanced Inland Lakes Vision features for 300 of the most popular lakes.

* 3D mariner’s eye view or fish eye view provides you with a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above the waterline and below it.
* Higher-resolution satellite images help you orient yourself in unfamiliar areas.
* Auto guidance technology searches through map data to suggest the best passage.

Add Sonar and Weather

The sounder version, GPSMAP 530s, comes with a powerful dual frequency or dual beam transducer that clearly paints depth contours, fish targets and structure. It’s also CANet™ compatible, so you can share sounder data with another chartplotter on your boat. For continuously-updated weather information, you can add the optional GXM 31 antenna to receive XM satellite weather, including NEXRAD radar, and hundreds of XM radio stations right on your chartplotter.
