The GPSMAP 556s is a compact chartplotter/sounder that features a high-resolution, super-bright 5” VGA display along with an improved high-speed digital design for increased map drawing and panning speeds. It’s ready to go with an easy-to-use interface and a built-in, satellite-enhanced basemap preloaded with marine charts for the U.K. and Ireland. The GPSMAP 556s also accepts BlueChart® g2 Vision cards for added features and functionality such as high-resolution satellite imagery, Mariner’s and Fish Eye views and Auto Guidance technology.

When connected to an optional transducer the sounder clearly illustrates depth contours, fish targets and structure whether you’re fishing in freshwater or off the coast.

The GPSMAP 556s comes ready to go with preloaded marine charts for the U.K. and Ireland. For all other areas, the GPSMAP 556s has a worldwide basemap with satellite images in place of more traditional maps. The GPSMAP 556s also comes standard with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for superior satellite tracking and quicker acquisition times. And with an SD card slot, it’s easy to add additional maps without connecting to a computer.

With the optional BlueChart g2 Vision SD card, you can add a whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter.

• 3D Mariner’s and Fish Eye view provides you with a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above and below the waterline
• High-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs help you orient yourself in unfamiliar areas
• Auto Guidance technology searches through all relevant charts to create a route you can actually follow — one that avoids obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other obstructions.
