Simrad NSE
Simrad introduced their new NSE multifunction display. It is rugged, high-end chartplotter / fishfinder / radar which combines the best technologies of Navico's many brands.
2 sizes are available- 8” and 12”. The 12” unit fits the same size hole as Raymarine's discontinued C120. So, users looking to upgrade can select a product that doesn't require cutting a new bridge opening.
Features include:
-
Adoption of aspects of the Northstar user interface

Premium embedded charts- Navionics Platinum (ex-USA) or HD Insight (USA)

Standby mode for quick start
-
XGA display- High-brightness, bonded screens, LED backlight
