Simrad GO Chartplotter and Fish Finder for Anglers with Transducer and Radar Options, Preloaded C-MAP DISCOVER Chart Card

The Simrad GO9 XSE is a multifunctional display that offers a true ease of use with intuitive touchscreen controls, familiar to smartphone and tablet users. With the ability to tap to create or select waypoints, pinch to zoom, or tap and drag to pan smoothly across charts, the navigation experience is seamless. The simple home screen and menu layouts make all functions quickly accessible, with large and clearly-captioned icons that are easy to recognise and tap.

As a full-featured chartplotter, the GO9 XSE supports the widest available range of cartography options, including C-MAP MAX-N, Navionics, Insight, Insight Genesis, and NV Digital Charts. This flexibility allows users to navigate confidently to destinations near and far, choosing the charts that best fit their needs and location. Setting and recording destinations is made easy with simple waypoint management, where users can mark waypoints with a touch and assign meaningful names, whether they have mapped out ten places or a thousand.

The Simrad GO9 XSE also functions as a full-featured radar display, with plug-and-play connectivity to Simrad Broadband 3G, Broadband 4G, and Halo Pulse Compression radar systems. This allows users to cruise confidently through crowded harbors, navigate safely in poor visibility, keep an eye on distant weather cells, and find flocks of feeding birds that hint at good fishing spots. Automatic tuning helps to provide a clear radar picture in any conditions, while radar overlay combines radar data with navigational charts for an easy-to-interpret view of the surroundings.

The interface of the Simrad GO9 XSE is fully customizable to suit the user's vessel and preferred on-water activities, from power boating to fishing to water sports. Users can customize the home screen with shortcuts to the features they use most and personalize it with their choice of wallpaper. Adjustable split-screen views and customizable panel layouts allow users to see everything they need on-screen at once, whatever their activity.

The GO9 XSE also features TripIntel technology, designed for power boaters, which tracks and displays the key information needed to plan safe and enjoyable days on the water. Users can make smart decisions with fuel range overlaid on charts, easy access to current and future tide levels, and a detailed history of their previous trips, including the route taken and how the boat performed.

Automatic routing, available with Navionics+ or Navionics Platinum charts (Navionics Autorouting), and with Jeppesen CMAP MAX-N+ charts (Jeppesen Easy Routing), brings the convenience of in-car navigation to boating, helping users plot a route and get underway with less delay. The display suggests the shortest, safest route, taking into consideration the draught and dimensions of the vessel.

The Simrad GO9 XSE is equipped with a high-speed GPS receiver, updating the position ten times every second, making it ideal for use aboard fast-moving RIBs and powerboats. The smooth, accurate, and real-time tracking of the boat's movement prevents "jumping" from point to point on the display.

The Cruise Charting page, designed with power boating in mind, brings together crucial navigation data and charts in one easily readable display. Users can choose the information most relevant to their cruising style and on-water activities, with the ability to edit on-screen data items.

The GO9 XSE connects to any NMEA 2000-capable equipment aboard the vessel, including outboard and inboard engines, fuel level and flow meters, speed, heading, and water temperature sensors, allowing users to create custom digital instrument displays and keep a clean look with as few gauges as possible.

The built-in sonar feature, with the addition of a suitable sonar transducer, provides accurate, real-time depth tracking, making it easier to locate suitable anchorages in unfamiliar waters. The scrollable depth history view and StructureScan Imaging, combining DownScan and SideScan sonar, offer a picture-like view of the bottom beneath the vessel.

For added confidence in navigating shallow or poorly-charted waters, the optional ForwardScan transducer provides a clear two-dimensional image of the bottom in front of the vessel, with real-time updates and a forward-looking view of up to eight times the current depth.

Whether fishing is a life passion or a casual hobby, the Simrad GO9 XSE, with the addition of a suitable transducer, offers a powerful fishfinder with CHIRP-enabled broadband sonar for clear detection of fish throughout the water column. The optional HDI or TotalScan transducer also provides StructureScan HD sidescan imaging for a picture-like view of fish-holding structure beneath and around the boat.

In summary, the Simrad GO9 XSE is a highly versatile and user-friendly multifunction display that seamlessly integrates GPS navigation, sonar support, radar capability, and much more, making it the perfect choice for sportboats, center-consoles, and smaller cruisers.
