Introduction
This handbook describes the RC435 Chartplotter with external GPS
antenna and RC435i Chartplotter with internal GPS antenna. The RC435
and RC435i utilize Satellite Differential (SD) signals for enhanced
navigational accuracy.
The RC435 and RC435i GPS Chartplotters are waterproof and therefore
can be installed above deck. The equipment is comprised of:

operate with other equipment, such as an autopilot or repeater instrument
connected via the NMEA 0183 interface. You can also download
waypoints and routes to the RC435/435i from an external source.
