Handheld VHF radios: which one should you buy?
A handheld VHF is one of the most important pieces of safety kit aboard any boat - and not just…
This new range of MFDs is aimed at setting a new benchmark with its wealth of intuitive features.
Simrad’s new NSX smart chartplotter and fish finder combo provides a clear and straightforward interface with a high-definition visual screen. Available in 7in, 9in and 12in displays, Simrad claim the NSX offers more screen for overall size, while providing more flexibility in terms of dash layout with its multiple screen configurations. Users can easily access and utilise all features, including smart drag-and-drop screen customisation, a fully editable instruments bar, and enhanced day and night modes. It provides crystal-clear views of chart details, structure and bottom contours from the SolarMAX IPS touch screen – viewable from any angle, in direct sunlight and through polarised lenses. NSX also allows the user to view chart details in a different way, working exclusively with C-MAP X charts. C-MAP DISCOVER X and REVEAL X marine-optimised charts feature a fresh intuitive chart presentation and the latest updates. C-MAP charts include fully featured vector charts with custom depth shading and high-resolution bathymetry, showing accurate contour lines down to a 1ft level of detail.
Users can improve planning and route plotting with tide and current projections with Simrad’s fastest ever auto routing. Plus, there’s a new Chart Inspection feature with one-touch access to information on locations, POIs, tides, channels and more. Partnering the NSX is Simrad’s latest app, which is free to download and offers a wealth of features, including screen mirroring with Simrad chartplotters. It also includes free up-to-date and detailed nautical charts from C-MAP, personal waypoints, routes and tracks, and the latest marine weather, while offering a good degree of personal customisation.
