SI-TEX Explorer Plus Chartplotter System

Overview SI-TEX Explorer Plus Chartplotter System

SI-TEX Explorer Plus Chartplotter System is a control unit built for boaters who want to use an existing PC monitor or flat-panel display as the screen for a dedicated electronic charting setup.

Its compact controller, waterproof trackpad, and dual-slot C-MAP MAX or NT+ chart support make it practical for custom helm layouts, while optional modules allow the system to expand toward fishfinding and radar functions.

Key Features

• Uses standard VGA monitor input: allows flexible display choice instead of locking the system to one built-in screen size.
• Dual-slot C-MAP MAX/NT+ chart support: extends chart coverage and keeps navigation data readily available.
• Guardian Grounding Alarm: continuously scans ahead on the chart to warn of shoals, rocks, and obstructions.
• Waterproof trackpad and soft key operation: help with smooth cursor control and straightforward menu navigation.
• Optional system expansion: supports the ES502 Fishfinder Module and 2 kW to 4 kW MDS radar sensors.
• NMEA 0183 connectivity: supports interfacing with other onboard electronics and sensor data.

Applications

• Custom helm installations where a separate control unit and monitor layout is preferred.
• Boats reusing an existing VGA-capable display for charting.
• Users who want a charting core that can later expand into fishfinder or radar functions.
