The Garmin GPSMAP 536 is a compact chartplotter that features a high-resolution, super-bright 5” VGA colour display along with an improved high-speed digital design for increased map drawing and panning speeds. It’s ready to go with a built-in, satellite-enhanced basemap preloaded with U.S. Inland Lakes and an easy-to-use interface designed to help you navigate the open waters with ease. The Garmin GPSMAP 536 also accepts BlueChart g2 Vision cards for added features and functionality such as high-resolution satellite imagery, 3D views and Auto Guidance technology.
Navigate the Lake
The Garmin GPSMAP 536 comes ready to go with preloaded U.S. Inland Lake map data. For areas outside the U.S., the Garmin GPSMAP 536 has a worldwide basemap with satellite images in place of more traditional maps. The GPSMAP 536 also comes standard with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for superior satellite tracking and quicker acquisition times. In addition, the Garmin GPSMAP 536 chartplotters can receive U.S. graphical weather data via optional GXM 51 satellite receiver/antenna. And with an SD card slot, it’s easy to add additional maps without connecting to a computer.
Add Sonar
Where applicable, the sounder version, GPSMAP 536s, comes with a powerful dual-beam transducer that clearly illustrates depth contours, fish targets and structures whether you’re fishing in freshwater or off the coast. The GPSMAP 536 and GPSMAP 536s are also NMEA 2000 certified for easy connectivity with sensors, instruments and future marine offerings.
Add Extras with Inland Lakes Vision
With the optional Garmin Inland Lakes SD card, you can add a whole new dimension of exceptional features to your chartplotter.
- 3D Mariner’s and Fish Eye view provides you with a 3-dimensional perspective of map information, both above and below the waterline
- High-resolution satellite images and aerial photographs help you orient yourself in unfamiliar areas
- Auto Guidance technology searches through all relevant charts to create a route you can actually follow — one that avoids obstacles, shallow water, buoys and other obstructions
