     The SI-TEX ColorMax 6 Color LCD GPS/WAAS charting system offers all the latest features at an affordable price, so now any size boat can have big-yacht plotting and charting performance. The newly designed fast processor with INTEL XSCALE Architecture gives you instant screen changes. Zoom level changes appear in the blink of an eye, regardless of the amount of screen detail. The GPS WAAS receiver will put your boat within 3 meters of your waypoint in most situations.  WAAS technology is fast and accurate and eliminates the need for a beacon receiver antenna.

With the e-Loran Integrated GPS WAAS/Loran sensor you get the best of both worlds…GPS WAAS accuracy and True Loran positioning, no conversions. The ColorMax 6L (with e-Loran antenna) charting system is perfect for finding that old Loran-C Fishing Hot Spot plus it adds heading output using Loran-C to provide bearing accuracy better than 1º.
