1. Ship to Shore VHF Radio
A VHF radio is optional equipment offered with the
selection of the navigation package option. It provides
reliable commu nica tion be tween ves sels, and from
ship to public or private shore stations. It is pro-
grammed for two-way communication on all the
International, US and Canadian channels plus recep-
tion on separate weather channels, and the interna-
tional calling and safety channels (16/9). The VHF
radio with microphone is mount ed on the helm. If
equipped, addi tional informa tion is included in the
manu factur er's literature included in the owner's
packet.
2. GPS/Plotter/Radar/Depth Sounder
A GPS/chart plotter is an elec tronic system through
which a naviga tor can deter mine his posi tion regard-
less of weather. The GPS sensor receives high

GPS navigational units take this information and use it
to determine the vessel's exact position and indicates
the vessels position on the chart plotter. The chart
plotter allows one's course to be plotted electronically.
Two factory installed GPS/Plotter systems are offered
in the optional navigational package. They are mount-
ed at the helm. If equipped, refer to the manu fact urer's
literature included in the owner's packet.
NOTICE
You should not rely on these displays as your
primary source of navigation. Rather, you
should use the chart plotter as a backup to
official government charts and traditional
methods of navigation.
Radar along with the GPS/Plotter is included in the
navigation package option. The radar detects objects/
targets and displays them for the operator to see. If so
equipped refer to the manu fact urer's literature includ-
ed in the owner's packet for operation instructions.
A depth sounder feature is also included with the
navigation package option. The depth sounder use
the basic principle of sonar to indicate the water's
depth. Please consult the manufacturer's literature
included in the owner's packet for operation of this
feature.
Do not rely on depth sounder to avoid
submerged objects. Depth sounders provide a
relative indica tion of water depth only.
NOTICE
DO NOT de pend solely upon the depth
sounder for water depth. It is important to have
navigation al charts of the waters in which you
are operating.
3. Compass
A compass is standard on the V458 models. See
Figure E15. The compass can provide directional
information when oper ating offshore, in unfamiliar
waters, or in adverse weath er conditions.
