GPS Chartplotters

A GPS Chartplotter is a highly useful and commonly available electronic device used in marine navigation that integrates GPS data with an electronic navigational chart. The chartplotter displays the chart along with the position, heading and speed of the ship, and may display additional information from radar, automatic information systems (AIS) or other sensors. As appropriate to particular marine applications, chartplotters may also display data from other sensors, such as echolocators/sonar.
