Simrad Cruise 5 GPS Chartplotter

Description

Simrad Cruise 5-5-inch GPS Chartplotter is the most intuitive, easy-to-use chartplotter available. Everything you need for simple and straightforward GPS navigation is right inside the box.

Preloaded with a US coastal map, Simrad Cruise comes complete with all the charts you need to enjoy your day on the water. Supports enhanced charts from C-MAP and Navionics.

Intuitive menus let you quickly find the information you need, when you need it. Rotary dial and keypad controls make navigating from screen to screen effortless.

Depth readings, position, battery voltage and other critical boat information, can all be monitored on your screen for quick reference and situational awareness.

The included 83/200 transducer provides excellent automatic depth tracking for worry-free operation without the need for fine tuning or pre-programming.

Simrad Cruise 5-5-inch GPS Chartplotter doesn't save tracks via track line. It will save waypoints and you can use those to guide you.

There are a few chart options, through Inav you can get lakes but maybe not for smaller lakes. I haven't looked for small water bodies.
