SC500A GPS Chart Plotter with Intergrated AIS 

SmarterChart - Technology redefined in a chartplotter

SmarterChart is Digital Yacht’s latest range of 5” colour chart plotters.  They feature a HiLite, ultra bright display boasting 256 colours and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels.  The unit plotters also have a super sensitive 50 channel built in GPS receiver, with an optional external GPS antenna also available.  This unit also incorperates a high performance dual channel AIS receiver.

SmarterChart is compatible with C-Map MAX electronic charts for unprecedented value and detail.  It also supports advanced features such as free downloadable weather overlays and forecasts, 3D perspective view, photos, tidal heights and currents as well as the Guardian alarm which checks your route for potential grounding issues.

SmarterChart with AIS - Great for anti collision and identification 

The new, SmarterChart 500AIS plotter with an integrated AIS receiver makes navigation easier, safer and faster with a crystal clear display of AIS equipped vessels overlaid onto the plotter screen.  It brings radar like, anti collision features to your chart plotter and can even display the target’s identity to make communication easier.  All commercial vessels over 300 GRT (and many others) are mandatorily required to carry an AIS transponder - a system showing and sending the identity, position, course, speed, closest point of approach and time to closest point of approach to other vessels equipped with AIS.

The SC500 is Smarter & Easier!

All systems are intuitive and easy to use thanks to the use of soft keys - which change function depending upon the current display with an easy key label prompted on the screen.
