Discover Seamless Navigation with Advanced Chartplotting and Radar Integration
Imagine gliding across open waters with crystal-clear situational awareness, whether you’re chasing trophy fish or plotting a coastal cruise. This combo pairs a robust 12-inch keyed chartplotter with high-definition radar, delivering an all-in-one powerhouse for serious boaters. The intuitive keypad and multifunction knob make adjustments effortless even in rough seas, while the vibrant display ensures readability under direct sunlight.
Boaters rave about how this setup transforms helm stations into command centers. Share sonar returns, radar overlays, and custom maps across multiple screens on your vessel, fostering teamwork during long outings. It’s not just gear—it’s the edge that keeps you safe and productive on every trip.
Superior Sonar and Scanning for Precision Fishing
Dive deep into underwater details with built-in CHIRP traditional sonar, ClearVü, and SideVü scanning. These technologies paint vivid pictures of structure, bait schools, and wrecks, helping anglers pinpoint hotspots faster. Add Panoptix live sonar support for real-time views of fish swimming toward your lure—perfect for trolling or jigging.
Networked sonar sharing means every station sees the same rich data, overlaid with speed, depth, or radar info. Pro tip: Pair it with high-frequency transducers for shallow-water finesse, revealing nuances that basic sonar misses. This level of detail has helped countless captains outsmart finicky species in challenging conditions.
Crystal-Clear Radar for Collision Avoidance and Target Tracking
The included dome radar brings sharp, 4kW power in a compact 18-inch package, ideal for mid-sized boats where space is premium. Dynamic auto gain and sea clutter filters adapt on the fly, cutting through rain, fog, or choppy waves to spotlight vessels, buoys, and birds from 20 meters out to 36 nautical miles.
Overlay radar directly on your charts for intuitive navigation—think spotting rain cells ahead or tracking pot markers at dawn. With MARPA, it locks onto up to 10 targets, displaying course, speed, and closest point of approach. Boaters in busy harbors swear by this for dodging weekend traffic, turning potential close calls into confident passes.
Mapping Mastery: From Preloaded Charts to Custom Contours
Hit the water ready with LakeVü g3 for over 17,000 U.S. lakes (1-foot contours) and BlueChart g3 coastal coverage, blending Garmin and Navionics data. Auto Guidance plots safe routes around shallows and overhead hazards, saving hours of manual plotting.
Quickdraw Contours lets you map uncharted spots in real-time, building your private HD library. Share via the community or keep it exclusive. Upgrade paths add relief shading for terrain-like bathymetry, making bottom structure pop. Features like Depth Range Shading highlight safe zones, crucial for unfamiliar anchorages.
Stay Connected: Networking, Wireless, and App Synergy
Full Marine Network compatibility shares everything—user data, IP cameras, even Fusion audio—across units. NMEA 2000/0183 integrates engines, autopilots, and sensors seamlessly. ANT+ links wearables like quatix watches for heart rate during races.
Wi-Fi unlocks the ActiveCaptain app: Sync trips, crowdsource contours, get smart alerts, and update firmware remotely. Plan routes ashore, then beam them aboard. The 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS refreshes position 10x/second for buttery-smooth tracking, dropping pinpoint waypoints effortlessly.
Tailored for Sailors: Wind, Laylines, and Race Tools
Sailors appreciate dedicated pages for pre-race starts, syncing timers network-wide. Laylines, wind roses, set/drift indicators, and true/apparent wind data optimize VMG. GPX imports from other devices ease transitions, preserving your waypoint libraries.
Effortless Installation and Everyday Reliability
Everything arrives ready: bail/flush mounts, NMEA drop cables, adapters. The radar’s plug-and-play network cable simplifies setup. Rugged design shrugs off spray and vibration, with user keys for quick access to favorites. Connections abound—dual Marine Network ports, video input, wireless—all engineered for marine mayhem.
