whatever your activity.
Plan Smarter with TripIntel™ Technology
Designed for power boaters, TripIntel technology tracks and displays the key
information you need to plan safe and enjoyable days on the water. Make smart
decisions with fuel range overlaid on charts, easy access to current and future
tide levels, and a detailed history of your previous trips including the route
you took and how your boat performed.
Built-in 10 Hz GPS receiver*
With a high-speed GPS receiver updating your position ten times every second,
the Simrad GO5 XSE is ideal for use aboard fast-moving RIBs and powerboats.
Watch your boat’s movement tracked smoothly, accurately, and in real-time,
without ‘jumping’ from point to point on the display.
Cruise Charting View
Designed with power boating in mind, the Simrad GO5 XSE offers a unique
Cruise Charting page that brings together crucial navigation data and charts in
one easily readable display. Choose the information most relevant to your
crusing style and on-water activities with the ability to edit on-screen data
items.
NMEA 2000® Engine Monitoring & Instrumentation
The Simrad GO5 XSE connects to any NMEA 2000®-capable equipment aboard your
vessel including outboard and inboard engines; fuel level and flow meters;
speed, heading, and water temperature sensors; and much more. Create your own
custom digital instrument displays, bringing a wealth of information to even the
most crowded dash while keeping a clean look with as few gauges as possible.
Watch Your Depth with Built-in Sonar
Knowing the true depth beneath your hull can help you enjoy your time on the
water with fewer worries, and makes it easier to locate suitable anchorages in
unfamiliar waters. With built-in sonar, just add a suitable sonar transducer for
accurate, real-time depth tracking. A scrollable depth history view lets you
track back and easily set waypoints for promising anchorages, while
StructureScan Imaging™ combines DownScan and SideScan sonar to offer a
picture-like view of the bottom beneath your vessel.
Cruise Confidently with ForwardScan™ Sonar
Using an optional ForwardScan transducer, this forward-looking sonar
technology provides a clear two-dimensional image of the bottom in front of your
vessel, allowing you to navigate shallow or poorly-charted waters with
confidence. With real-time updates and a forward-looking view of up to eight
times your current depth, ForwardScan lets you relax and enjoy a safer day on
the water.
Find fish with CHIRP & StructureScan® HD sidescan imaging
Whether fishing is your life or just a casual hobby, any fishing trip will
benefit from the extensive array of built-in sonar technology on the Simrad GO5
XSE. Add a suitable transducer, available separately or bundled with your
display, and the GO5 XSE works as a powerful fishfinder with CHIRP-enabled
broadband sonar for clear detection of fish throughout the water column. With an
optional HDI or TotalScan transducer, the GO5 XSE also offers StructureScan HD
sidescan imaging for a picture-like view of fish-holding structure beneath and
around your boat.
Simrad SonicHub®2 & Bluetooth® Audio Integration
If you’re not at home on the water without a good soundtrack, the Simrad
SonicHub®2 marine audio system is the perfect companion to a GO5 XSE display.
Stream music from Bluetooth® connected tablets, smartphones, and other mobile
devices, play MP3 files from a USB flash drive, or listen to the SonicHub 2’s
built-in AM/FM radio. SonicHub 2 brings complete control of your audio
entertainment to your GO5 XSE display, eliminating the need for a separate
stereo head-unit and letting you listen to your music, your way.
GoFree™ cloud enabled with Built-in Wi-Fi
With Wi-Fi built in, the Simrad GO5 XSE provides direct access to GoFree
cloud services including easy wireless map downloads, software updates, and
more. Whether hooked up to your home Wi-Fi with your boat trailered in the
driveway, logged in to your marina’s Wi-Fi, or tethered to your smartphone out
on the lake, you can access GoFree cloud services anywhere you have an internet
connection. On the water, GoFree connects the Simrad GO5 XSE to your mobile
devices, mirroring your display’s screen on your smartphone or giving you full
remote control from your tablet with the free GoFree Controller app.
* Built-in GPS receiver works in any bracket-mount installation, and
when flush-mounted with most fibreglass hulls. When flush-mounted in a metal
hulled vessel, an external GPS receiver such as the Simrad GS25 may be required.
