Simrad GO9 XSE 9 inch Chartplotter with Active Imaging 3 in 1 Transducer Review

I recently had the opportunity to review the Simrad GO9 XSE 9 inch Chartplotter with Active Imaging 3 in 1 Transducer. This multifunction display is an excellent choice for boaters of all types, from sportboats, center consoles, and smaller cruisers, and it comes with many features that are sure to make your time on the water more enjoyable.

The GO9 XSE comes with a C MAP DISCOVER card with full featured Vector Charts, Custom Depth Shading, Tides Currents, C MAP high resolution Bathymetric contours, and ultra wide coverage in the US and Canada. With this map type you can get detailed information about potential hazards and identify safe passage routes. Additionally, the Active Imaging 3 in 1 sonar featuring CHIRP, SideScan and DownScan imaging with FishReveal allows you to see structure and cover with a new level of refined detail. This makes it easier for you to find fish hiding spots which can be incredibly helpful when fishing in unfamiliar waters.

The chartplotter also offers plug and play connectivity to Simrad radar solutions for powerboats of all sizes so you can cruise safer and fish more productively. Additionally, it has built in connectivity so you can mirror your display to a smartphone or tablet and get access to charts, radar and other functionality from anywhere on board. Finally, it has NMEA 2000 connectivity which gives you even more integration options.

Overall I think this is an excellent product for anyone looking for a reliable chartplotter that s packed with features which will make your time on the water easier and more enjoyable. The only downside I found was that it s quite large at 10.43 pounds so if size is an issue then this may not be the best option for you. In conclusion I highly recommend this product to any boater who wants a reliable chartplotter that s packed with features but still easy enough to use even if you re not an experienced navigator.
