NEW SIMRAD CHARTPLOTTER AND FISHFINDER

Navico has unveiled a new Simrad chartplotter and fishfinder.

Available in 9, 12 and 16 inch models, the SIMRAD NSSevo3S supports a variety of powerboating and sport-fishing activities. The unit has a built-in GPS receiver, echo sounder, support for HALO dome and open array radars, as well as integration with a range of Simrad autopilot systems.

“Our team is always pushing for improved functionality that creates better user experiences for the powerboating and sportfishing communities,” said Mike Fargo, executive vice president, Simrad, Navico Group. “The new SIMRAD NSSevo3S delivers exactly that – an extensive range of user modules powered by advanced levels of functionality for navigation and fish finding.”

Multiple depth ranges from a single unit

The SolarMAX IPS technology gives ultra-wide viewing angles and an easily-visible screen even while wearing polarised sunglasses. The units have a 1kW CHIRP-enabled sonar including support for dual-channel CHIRP transducers that can deliver multiple depth range coverage from a single unit.

The units have Active Imaging and ForwardScan sonar together with a new IMX 8 processor ensuring real-time engine and fuel monitoring and control of onboard sound systems. Systems can be expanded by adding Simrad modules and accessories such as S5100 or StructureScan 3D, HALO Pulse Compression radar and automated control with an integrated Simrad autopilot.

Displays can be mirrored to compatible iOS and Android devices for access to charts, radar, sonar and engine data and the wireless connectivity enables on-line software upgrades. There is also a Simrad app available.
