SI-TEX Standalone 8 Chartplotter System w/Color LCD, Internal & External GPS Antenna & C-MAP 4D Card

The SI-TEX SVS-880CE+ is a standalone 8-inch chartplotter system with an LED-backlit color LCD, internal and external GPS antennas, a 52-channel GNSS receiver, and a bundled C-MAP 4D card. NMEA 0183 input and output provide the listed data connection, making this unit suitable for boats that need straightforward charting and GPS without an integrated sonar package.

Key Features

- 8-inch color LCD with LED backlight – Provides a clear chart display in a practical standalone format.
- 800 x 600 SVGA resolution – Shows useful chart detail on the 8-inch screen.
- Internal and external GPS antennas included – Provides installation flexibility where an external antenna is preferred.
- 52-channel GNSS receiver – Supports the listed satellite positioning capability.
- C-MAP 4D card included – Provides chart data without requiring a separate chart purchase at installation.

Who Is This For?

This unit suits coastal cruisers, fishing boats, workboats, and owners who need a dedicated chartplotter with internal and external GPS options. It is useful for a straightforward navigation installation where charting is the priority.

It is not ideal for buyers seeking an integrated fishfinder, because no sonar or transducer is listed. It is also less suitable for a modern Ethernet-based network, as the supplied networking specification lists NMEA 0183 input and output only.

Compatibility

Confirmed components include the C-MAP 4D card, internal and external GPS antennas, 52-channel GNSS receiver, and NMEA 0183 input/output. The supplied information does not identify NMEA 2000, Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, radar, autopilot, sonar, or third-party chartplotter compatibility. No named incompatible system was provided; verify NMEA 0183 wiring and chart requirements before installation.

The SVS-880CE+ is the dedicated chartplotter choice in this group, unlike the sonar-focused Lowrance and Simrad MFDs. It includes the C-MAP 4D card and both internal and external GPS antenna options, but it does not provide an integrated fishfinder or modern Ethernet networking. Choose it for straightforward GPS charting and NMEA 0183 integration rather than a combined sonar and radar system.
