The GP-7000F/NT is a GPS/WAAS plotter designed for a variety of vessels desiring video plotting and echo sounding capabilities. With the GP-7000 series, you can see the highly accurate position of your boat on the chart. The GP-7000 series has four display modes: Course Plot, Nav Data, Steering, and Highway modes. The course plot mode is useful for obtaining general information about surrounding sea areas. The Nav data mode clearly shows important navigational information with large text, which is easy to see even from a distance. The steering mode and highway mode assist the operator in following a predetermined route. The GP-7000 series uses C-Map NT+ charts. These charts provide navigational information including water depth, contours, coastlines, lighthouses, buoys, etc. The use of the SD cards facilitates the management of the expanded chart data. The C-forecast feature is an innovative weather forecasting system which provides accurate, easy to understand forecasts on wind speed, direction and wave height. The information allows operators to see the conditions clearly and simply to help detect potential whether hazards. The fish finder function of the GP-7000F graphically depicts underwater conditions, such as fish schools and seabed. Operating frequency is 50 and 200 kHz with high transmission output power of 600 Watts or 1,000 Watts. The information can be displayed together with the course plot mode in split screen or by itself on a full screen. Transducer sold seperatly.

Comments about Furuno Furuno GP7000F GPS Chartplotter/Sounder:
The product is an excellent value and provides good daylight viewability. The wide screen allows for a useful split screen mode without being too small to see.
The only downside is the lack of a keypad to enter waypoints directly without using the chart.
