Simrad GPS Chartplotters
Simrad GPS Chartplotters – Professional Installation & Service | NSW
At Shotgun Marine Services (SMS) and PMMS, we approach Simrad GPS chartplotters the same way a marine specialist approaches a diagnosis - by assessing the vessel, understanding how it’s operated, and then specifying the right navigation system for the job. We are not an online electronics shop. We are marine electronics technicians who assess, diagnose, design and deliver complete systems.
Based in Port Macquarie and servicing the Mid North Coast NSW and New South Wales, our team provides Simrad GPS chartplotter installation, system integration and ongoing service support for serious recreational vessels, professional operators and complex electronic fitouts. Products are supplied only after technical consultation to ensure long-term reliability and correct performance.
Simrad GPS chartplotters are widely used on offshore, coastal and professional vessels due to their robust design, flexible integration capabilities and advanced navigation features. When installed and commissioned correctly, they form the backbone of a reliable marine navigation system — not just another display at the helm.
Diagnosis-Led Simrad GPS Chartplotter Solutions
No two vessels are the same. Hull form, electrical quality, helm layout, antenna placement, sensor selection and how the boat is used all directly affect chartplotter performance and reliability.
Our role is to assess and diagnose first, then design a Simrad GPS chartplotter solution that integrates cleanly with the vessel’s existing electronics, power systems and operational requirements. This approach reduces faults, improves data accuracy and ensures dependable navigation in real-world conditions.

Simrad GPS Chartplotter FAQs
Are Simrad GPS chartplotters any good for offshore fishing?
Yep — Simrad units are well regarded for offshore work. They’re known for fast processors, clear screens and solid integration with radar, sounders and autopilots, which makes them popular with offshore fishos and cruisers alike.
What charts do Simrad chartplotters use?
Simrad chartplotters commonly use C-MAP charts, with options for different levels of detail depending on how and where you boat. They’re well suited to Australian coastal waters and offshore navigation.
Can a Simrad chartplotter run sounder and radar at the same time?
Yes. Simrad GPS chartplotters are designed to run multiple functions on the one screen, including charts, sounder, radar and engine data. How much you can display at once depends on
