Simrad GO5 XSE Chartplotter/Fishfinder w/C-Map Discover Chart - No Transducer — Product description
Unlock Seamless Navigation for Your Compact Vessel
Imagine gliding across the water on your sportboat or dayboat, with every twist and turn mapped out crystal-clear on a vibrant 5-inch touchscreen. The Simrad GO5 XSE transforms how you navigate, fish, and monitor your boat's performance—all from one compact powerhouse. Tailored for smaller crafts where space is premium, it packs pro-level features without overwhelming your dash. Its intuitive multi-touch interface feels like your smartphone, letting you pinch-zoom charts or drop waypoints effortlessly while keeping your eyes on the horizon.
Built for real-world adventures, from casual cruises to serious fishing outings, this chartplotter shines with a high-speed 10 Hz GPS for silky-smooth tracking on fast RIBs. Overlay fuel range on charts via TripIntel technology, and make informed stops based on tide data and past trip insights—perfect for extending your time on the water without guesswork.
Powerful Sonar Suite for Fishfinding Pros and Cruisers Alike
Dive into the depths with built-in sonar ready for CHIRP broadband sounder, delivering razor-sharp fish arches and bottom details across frequencies. Pair it with StructureScan HD for stunning side and down imaging that reveals hidden structures like never before—ideal for targeting trophy catches in weedy bays or drop-offs.
For safer shallow-water runs, ForwardScan offers a forward-looking view up to eight times your current depth, painting the seafloor ahead in real time. No transducer included means you pick the perfect match for your hull, whether it's a thru-hull or transom-mount, ensuring top performance customized to your setup.
Anglers love how it separates baitfish from keepers with exceptional target separation, while cruisers appreciate the scrollable history for spotting anchor spots on the fly. It's not just tech—it's your edge on the water.
Stay Connected and in Control with Smart Integration
Wi-Fi connectivity opens the door to wireless chart downloads, software updates, and screen mirroring via the GoFree app on your phone or tablet. Tether to marina hotspots or your phone's hotspot for seamless access, even offshore. Bluetooth pairs effortlessly with audio sources, turning your display into a full audio server—stream playlists, tune radio, or pump USB tracks without extra hardware.
NMEA 2000 compatibility pulls engine vitals, fuel flow, speed, and temp data into customizable digital gauges. Ditch cluttered analog panels for a sleek, glanceable dashboard that keeps your cockpit clean and info-rich. From outboards to inboards, it plays nice with most marine networks.
Built Tough for Everyday Marine Life
Rated IPX7 waterproof, it shrugs off splashes and sprays, with a super-bright 1200-nit display piercing direct sun glare. Flush or bracket mount it anywhere—fiberglass hulls get internal GPS, while metal boats might need an external antenna for peak precision. Operating from -15°C to +55°C, it's ready for crisp mornings or scorching afternoons.
Customizable panels let you prioritize: split-screen charts with sonar, overlay radar returns (with compatible add-ons), or focus on engine stats. The widescreen 800x480 resolution packs detail into its 5-inch frame, making it a space-saver without skimping on usability.
