Marine software 5.0: Are you updated?

It’s no surprise that we take pride in not only releasing new products, but also in making improvements to our existing product line. Around here, we like to call it making great products even better. And recently, we announced a the Version 5.0 software update, a new free update for the GPSMAP 4000 and 5000 series chartplotters that brings numerous exiting new technologies and enhanced features to the chartplotter. The update will greatly improve drawing speeds for charts and will provide better map performance to give the user quicker access to the information they want and need the most with fewer keystrokes between screens. Continuous smooth between zoom levels and of the head-up presentation ensures the user will never lose sight of their location while zooming in and out for a more seamless navigation experience. Other highlights include improved 3D performance for those without a g2 Vision card, the ability to move a pointer around on the sonar image when paused and mark waypoints underwater, and improved autoguidance with better performance in shallow water and narrow channels.

This update is an easy update across your entire compatible marine network. Simply update your 4000 or 5000 plotter and the data will automatically reach the rest of the compatible Garmin marine network products, including sonar, radar and weather receivers…just in time for the summer boating season!
