Description
 

Explorer 550

Navigation is easy with Northstar’s Explorer Series dedicated chartplotters…
 
 
  • The Explorer 538(i): is designed with the smaller vessel in mind. Now every sized boat can take advantage of GPS technology.
  • Ready-to-Go AIS capability: Automatic Identification System (AIS) is ready-to-go on the 567 and 557, allowing you to identify and avoid large ships and other vessels transmitting AIS signals in near by waters.
  • Fuel Management: Every Explorer Chartplotter unit has a built-in fuel computer. Just purchase the optional fuel kit to display fuel management data such as fuel flow, fuel remaining, estimated range and fuel economy.

 

The Northstar Explorer Chartplotters


A simple-to-use menu structure and superb daylight viewable screen means you can enjoy your voyage whether it’s across the bay or across an ocean. Rugged and waterproof, the Northstar Explorer is a brilliant choice for your navigation needs.

Explorer 550(i): The Explorer 550(i) presents large screen functionality at an attractive price. Powerful C-MAP NT MAX™ features are brought to life on the 5" 320 x 234-pixel daylight viewable color screen.

With fuel computer software installed, the Explorer 550(i) offers a complete fuel management system for gasoline or SmartCraft™ enabled engines.

The 550(i) comes in two types: internal GPS receiver or external. These great chartplotters are perfect for boats of all sizes

Northstar Explorer Chartplotter features:
The Explorer 538(i): is designed with the smaller vessel in mind. Now any sized boat can take advantage of GPS technology. With a built-in 16 MB regional background map, the 538(i) is ideal as a basic GPS navigation tool or can be upgraded to a fully functioning chartplotter with the addition of a C‑Map NT MAX™ card.

Ready-to-Go AIS capability: Automatic Identification System (AIS) is ready-to-go on the 567 and 557, allowing you to identify and avoid large ships and other vessels transmitting AIS signals in near by waters. Compact Yet Comprehensive

Fuel Management

A graphical fuel gauge complements this digital information, and each Explorer comes SmartCraft™-ready - a fantastic feature for boats with compatible Mercury, MerCruiser and Mariner engines
