Amazon.com Product Description
The Garmin GPSMAP 545s Chartplotter with Dual Frequency Transducer provides a versatile chartplotter with the sharpest, most colorful graphics you've ever seen on a 5-inch screen. With plenty of built-in functionality and compatibility for upgrades or expansions, the 545s is the perfect companion for any boater looking to get out on the water and start exploring, or to simply plot a safe course from point A to point B.

The Garmin 545s chartplotter uses a crisp, ultra-bright, full-color 5-inch QVGA display with 640 x 480 pixels of resolution and over 800 nits of brightness. Driven by a high-speed processor, this screen offers exceptional detail, fast redraw rates, and the most realistic photo-enhanced cartography available in its class. The 545s lets you view your position with pinpoint accuracy to within less than three meters via its extremely accurate, WAAS/EGNOS-enabled GPS antenna, and comes with a built-in, satellite-enhanced worldwide basemap, as well as detailed offshore maps with BlueChart coverage of the USA and Bahamas. What's more, with an SD card slot providing compatibility with the optional BlueChart g2 Vision card, you can further enhance this unit's mapping capabilities with features such as high-resolution aerial reference photos for help navigating tricky harbors and channels, or locating spots like area marinas or fuel stops. The g2 Vision card also lets the 545s provide graphical depictions in a true 3D mariner's-eye topside view, or fish-eye underwater perspective.

The Garmin 545s features intuitive navigation with fewer buttons to push and operational steps to traverse, and a simplified menu format that makes it easier for you to see and select the data you want to access on-screen, as well as a tilt and swivel mount bracket that lets you set it for optimum positioning. The 545s also features a backlit keypad for easier operation at night, and a new night mode function that provides optimum readability in low-light conditions. The 545s can also provide auto guidance via the optional g2 Vision card, which searches all your chart features in order to suggest the best known charted route for navigation, so you always have a knowledgeable guide to local hazards and waterways on deck with you.

The 545s is designed to be easily adaptable to various conditions with a choice of dual-beam or dual-frequency sonar to clearly portray depth contours, fish targets, structure and more. This unit comes with dual-frequency, 50 kHz to 200 kHz transom-mount transducer with a narrow beam that pierces the depths for maximum saltwater performance. Made to be upgradeable and expandable, the Garmin 545s includes built-in CANet connectivity that enables its sonar data to be shared with other chartplotter displays on your boat. This unit weighs two pounds, and measures just 6.4 x 5.9 x 2.9 inches (W x H x D) allowing it to be placed virtually anywhere.

What's in the Box
Garmin 545s chartplotter, dual-frequency transducer, tilt/swivel mount bracket, power and data cables, protective cover and owner's manual.

4 out of 5 stars A few annoyances, but a great product!   May 20, 2008

The unit is easy to install, and looks great. It works very well, too. The display is very crisp and easy to see in bright sunshine. It doesn't have much glare, and the unit is easy to use. It's small and lightweight.

It takes a long time to acquire a signal. I have to remember to turn it on at least a couple of minutes before we shove off.

The user interface is disappointing. The unit has a great information display, including the time of day, battery voltage and heading--plus a bunch of user selectable numbers displayed in big numbers that you can see from the other side of your boat. There's also the map and sounding charts. But switching from one to the other requires four or five button presses. This is unconscionable--switching between each should take a single key press.

The will draw a straight line to navigate to a particular point unless the user manually adds turns to avoid land. In the complex Puget Sound, it's time-consuming to enter enough turns manually (and accurately!) to get a sensible course. Garmin requires that you buy an extra map chip in order to get a guided map.

The array of available transducers and sensors is great--but it's also quite confusing. Finding information about which sensor is best for me and my boat required a call to Garmin's customer support. With the sensor I chose, though, the sonar and depth finding is just about perfect.

I've used Garmin products for more than 15 years--since I bought my a hand-held 12XL to take hiking. The products are bullet-proof, and this product is no exception. I wish these problems were fixed, but it's really great product just the same.

I have found this item to be everything I expected and more. The same goes for my experience with the vendor.
