Marine-grade GPS units & chart plotters have revolutionised on-water adventures by delivering high-resolution coastal charts, real-time position tracking, and seamless integration with onboard sonar and autopilots. At Vautex, we specialise in sourcing and expertly installing premium GPS and chart plotting systems across Perth and surrounding suburbs.
Whether you’re planning a deep-sea fishing expedition, cruising the Swan River, or exploring remote anchorages, a custom-installed Vautex navigation solution ensures you plot your course with confidence, safety, and ease every time you head out on the water.
Trust Vautex to equip your vessel with precise navigation tools and seamless charting technology—so every voyage begins and ends with certainty, safety, and total control at the helm.
Professionally installed marine GPS units deliver pinpoint positioning, ensuring your vessel’s location is tracked with sub-meter precision. This accuracy helps you plot waypoints, avoid hazards, and follow maritime routes with confidence.
Accurate chart plotting reduces the risk of running aground and entering restricted zones by providing up-to-date nautical charts and real-time alerts. A correctly calibrated system keeps you aware of changing tides and underwater obstructions for safer voyages.
Expert installation guarantees your GPS/chart plotter integrates flawlessly with sonar, radar, and autopilot equipment. This unified setup enables synchronized data sharing so you can view depth readings, course corrections, and weather info on a single display.
We’ve partnered with the marine electronics industry’s leading names—Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance and Raymarine—so you get proven performance, robust features, and ongoing software support from brands you trust.
Garmin own Fusion, meaning their marine GPS systems offer seamless integration with Fusion stereo systems. You can control your music and navigation directly from your MFD (multi-function display), making it a smooth and user-friendly setup for any boating adventure.
The Simrad NSS range combines intuitive touchscreen controls with a physical control panel, making it easy to operate even in rough or unpredictable conditions. It's designed to keep you in full command whether you're cruising calm waters or facing challenging seas.
Lowrance tends to focus on providing solid, reliable units at a more affordable price point. Their designs are robust and functional, offering features like C-MAP\u00ae support, Genesis Live mapping, and CHIRP sonar, without over-complicating things or blowing the budget.
Raymarine is one of the most trusted brands on the water, with a reputation for quality and reliability. Their Axiom series delivers a user experience that shares a lot of the best features found in Simrad, with bright displays, smart interfaces, and great expandability for serious boaters.
