A50 5" Chartplotter with European charts

 

Compact 5" Chartplotter with VGA display and built-in WAAS GPS receiver. Comes preloaded with cartography for Europe.

  

Product Number: E62184-EU

Overview

The A50 GPS-Chartplotter is powerful navigation system that combines a direct sunlight viewable high resolution 5” VGA colour display with advanced chartplotting. The rugged waterproof construction make the A50 a perfect fit for centre consoles and open cockpits.

This A50 is preloaded with ready-to-navigate Navionics cartography that cover entire regions of Europe*. Expand your chartplotters capability by adding optional Navionics Gold or HotMaps charts using the onboard CompactFlash card reader. Or step up to Navionics Platinum for the ultimate chartplotting experience. Navionics Platinum charts feature 3D and satellite cartography, panoramic port photos, dynamic tides & currents, enhanced coastal points of interest, and more!

Each A50 features a high sensitivity internal WAAS GPS receiver providing pinpoint chartplotter accuracy. For added flexibility add a RayStar 125 GPS antenna for situations where an external GPS antenna is needed.

Combine GPS and VHF technology for added situational awareness and safety. The A50 utilises DSC position polling(with DSC equipped VHF) and AIS target tracking (with optional AIS250) right on your chart

The A50 comes with our innovative tilt and swivel bracket featuring a quick release lever. Once the A50 is off the boat keep your cables tidy and protected with the built-in cable management system and protective cable caps. A flush mount kit is also available for other helm applications.
 
The A50 GPS-Chartplotter ships preloaded with charts and is packaged with a tilt & swivel bracket, suncover, power/NMEA cable, and instruction manual. The A50 is also SeaTalkNG capable allowing for engine monitoring with compatible engines. With SeaTalkNG  you can even activate and control your Raymarine SPX Autopilot Series directly from the A50’s chartplotter.

 

*Pre-installed Navionics cartography excludes Greenland and Iceland, Finnish and Russian Lakes, EU and Russian inland waterways.

NOTE: Before cutting any holes with either the Bracket Mount Cutting Template or Panel Mount Cutting Template, please double check the printed measurements on the template against the physical size of the product to be installed.  Some printers will scale these templates to fit the available paper size, resulting in a template that is either too small or too large.

Raymarine provides a full-scale cutting template in the box with every A Series display.
