NavGraphicXLGPS The brightest idea in navigation just got brighter. The NavGraphic revolutionized navigation by automatically plotting your exact GPS position on a real NOAA chart. It's like watching your boat's progress from an air- plane overhead. You can zoom in for precise maneuvering or zoom out for an overview of your entire voyage. Expert fishermen love it because the charts are complete with depth lines so they can follow bottom features looking for fish. Beginning navigators love it because there are no numbers to translate and no calculations to make. It's the most direct navigation tool ever developed. Now that revolutionary product is even better with a brighter, higher-contrast display in a new slim-line design. The new dis- play makes it easy to read under any lighting conditions and its new price makes it even more affordable. The NavGraphic XL—it's a whole new way to look at navigation.
