Getting out on the waters is not what it used to be. Now it's better! Previously, whether you were getting out on your small fishing boat, or taking a team out for a fishing expedition, you basically would have to depend on a radio and the trusted waters to get you to and from your destinations. But now many fishermen are relying on GPS charting systems to help them navigate the waters. This way, they can focus on their task at hand and leave navigation to the experts.

GPS Charting Systems on the Market

There are a few marine navigation devices on the market that fishermen are using to not only help them find their way through endless waters, but also find the very fish their looking for under the water. Here are some of the more trusted brands and models:

SI-TEX ColorMax

The SI-TEX ColorMax is one of the most popular GPS charting systems on the market. It has a large 5" color active matrix LCD color display with an astounding 240 x 320 pixel resolution. The processing speed is extremely fast, which means you are guaranteed to have instant screen changes. It is compatible with C-MAP MAX charts, which are said to be the most innovative charts ever designed for navigation on the waters. And it stores up to 500 waypoints/marks, 25 routes and 1000 track points so that you can easily find your way back to shore, no matter how many twists and turns you take.

Some other features of this device include a WAAS receiver that can put your boat within 3 meters of your waypoint (in most situations), a Guardian Programmable Anti-Grounding feature that alerts you if the course you're currently taking is guiding you toward charted schools, and a Depth Graph that accepts input from onboard sounder so that you can display a graphic presentation of your boat's current and recent depth history. It also offers split-screen displays, a built-in background chard, tide information, a local C-Card that helps you locate the nearest boatyards, banks, and showers, backlit softkeys, and selectable languages. In short, this device offers a lot to fishermen looking for a device that will get the job done!

EKP-IIIC Color

EKP also offers GPS charting systems for marine navigators and fishermen who need to get out the water more often than not. This device combines a high resolution TFT color display with their AvMap technology. It is also WAAS compatible, which provides an amazing situational awareness tool perfect for navigation. Like Color Max, this device comes with a C-Map C-Card so that you can locate all of the nearby areas of need. And it also keeps a close connection with North, Central and South American databases so that you are allowed to travel out of your vicinity without ever worrying about getting turned around.

Some other features of this device include a large 6.4" diagonal screen with HIS display, auto zoom, a simulator mode, anti-glare, a wind and fuel calculator, 640 c 480 pixel resolution, a backlit rubber keypad, and internal land cartography for the Americas. And if you are in need of additional street, lake and river detail, those can be obtained with C-MAP Aviation's regional terrestrial library. It comes with a one-year warranty, so if you're not satisfied with the device, they will send you a new one.

Tracker 5505

While the Tracker 5505 falls into the category of GPS charting systems, it is officially known as a chartplotter. The high resolution, daylight color screen and high speed panning are just the start of its features. It is able to monitor and manage fuel in your vessel with included software, it has a 16 MB world background map, C-MAP NT MAX cartography, a weather station display, a gasoline computer options and the accurate Dedicated Man Overboard (MOB) hotkey. It comes with a full two-year warranty, which protects your purchase in the event that the device malfunctions, or is simply not up-to-par, and it is waterproof able to stay in the water for up to 30 minutes.

GPS charting systems are must-have investments for those who spend a great deal of time on the water, either for leisure, or as a job. As the weather on land and sea become more unpredictable, it is important to have some type of guidance system that can get you back on course in case of an emergency. Just be sure to "test the waters" with a variety of GPS charting systems before you commit to one. That way, you can ensure the safety of all onboard your boat.
