A50 5" Chartplotter (no preloaded charts)

 

Compact Chartplotter with VGA display and built-in WAAS compatible GPS.  Charts not included.
 

Product Number: E62184

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.
 
While this A50 does not include any preloaded charts, enjoy the flexibility of 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.
 
Add the optional SR50 weather receiver and the A50 becomes a powerful weather receiver utilising SIRIUS Satellite weather technology (US only). Graphical Nowrad radar, sea surface temperatures, storm tracks, city & buoy forecasts are now all at your fingertips. The A50 is also SIRIUS Satellite radio capable, simply connect the SR50 to your boat's existing stereo's auxiliary input. You have complete control of channels, volume, and can even set reminders for favourite songs and artists on over 100 SIRIUS radio channels (US only).
 
The A50 GPS-Chartplotter comes 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.

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.
