Simrad Yachting announced today Simrad® Cruise, the most intuitive chartplotter on the market. Designed for simple and straightforward navigation, Cruise features a simple, easy-to-use interface, sunlight-viewable display, preloaded Australia and New Zealand charts, mounting bracket and sonar transducer.

Taking ease of use to a new level, Simrad Cruise combines essential GPS features with depth-finding capability to deliver safe and reliable navigation at an affordable price. Free from complicated fishing-specific sonar and networking features, Cruise eliminates the need for boaters to master complex electronics.

The user interface is controlled with a rotary dial and keypad, ensuring smooth navigation through menus, and provides the vital information needed for a safe and enjoyable time on the water. The included transducer provides CHIRP sonar with excellent automatic depth tracking for worry-free operation without the need for fine-tuning or pre-programming.

Available in 5, 7 and 9-inch display sizes this unit is IPX7 waterproof rated and ideal for installation in open air vessels such as bay, deck, ski and wakeboard boats, bow riders and tenders, and can be conveniently flush-mounted or bracket-mounted. RRP pricing starts at $699 AUD/$809 NZD for the Cruise-5, $799 AUD/ $929 NZD for the Cruise-7 and $1099 AUD/ $1279 NZD for the Cruise-9, all including Navionics Aus/NZ chart and 83/200 skimmer transducer.
