Whether you're plotting a course through tricky inlets or fine-tuning tactics around the marks, it delivers the insights you need without the clutter.
At the heart of this display lies SailSteer, a game-changer for performance-oriented sailors. Imagine overlaying laylines, wind shifts, tidal flows, and polar performance data right on your chart— all in one glance. It calculates realistic arrival times at waypoints, factoring in your boat's speed, current, and tides, so you can push harder without second-guessing. Pair it with onboard instruments via NMEA 2000, and watch your data evolve into actionable intelligence, perfect for those split-second racing decisions or relaxed coastal hops.
Jump into uncharted waters with confidence thanks to enhanced C-MAP compatibility. Easy Routing plots the safest path around hazards, respecting your boat's draft, beam, and height—eliminating guesswork in shallow bays or crowded anchorages. The Navigation Palette sharpens chart readability near shorelines, highlighting channels, ledges, and drop-offs so you spot hazards before they spot you. Pre-loaded with Discover charts, it's ready for immediate adventures, and dual microSD slots let you swap in favorites for global exploration.
Squint-free viewing is non-negotiable offshore. This widescreen delivers 1200 nits of brightness and a super-wide viewing angle, ensuring your crew stays informed even under direct sun. The glass-dash styling and low-profile mount blend seamlessly into modern cockpits, while multi-touch gestures—pinch, swipe, zoom—feel as natural as your smartphone. Customize page splits for solo watchstanding or full-crew briefings, turning it into a giant instrument panel.
Built-in Wi-Fi opens the door to wireless charting updates and screen mirroring on your tablet—ideal for helm delegation during maneuvers. NMEA 2000 backbone integrates autopilot control for smart sailing modes, audio servers for cockpit tunes, and even GRIB weather overlays for strategic routing. Ready for Broadband Radar to pierce fog or ForwardScan for ahead-of-the-keel bottom tracking (transducer optional), it scales with your setup. No buttons means a sleek, glove-friendly interface that thrives in wet conditions.
Engineered to shrug off salt spray and rough seas, it boasts IPX7 waterproofing and operates from freezing fog to scorching decks. Low-power standby sips juice for overnight anchor watches, and reverse polarity protection keeps things safe. Lightweight at under 3 lbs, it's a breeze to install with included dash and gimbal kits.
