For a long time no one doubts the necessity and convenience of using navigational equipment on boats and yachts.
Radars and chartplotters complement each other during operation, greatly facilitating the navigation process and increasing navigation safety.
The navigation receiver will show the boundary and shape of the shallows, show the course to the sign from afar, will not let you miss the wind setting, etc. Now it is possible to create various configurations of such equipment that allow the exchange of information between devices. A feature of such an on-board network is the presence in its composition of devices that combine a number of tasks, for example, a radar and a chartplotter, a chartplotter and an echo sounder. By connecting all the sensors and devices on board the boat to the on-board network, it becomes possible to display all the information on one large display. The diagram below shows one such network.
Depending on the size of the yacht, only part of the elements can be used. On yachts, they mainly use a set of chartplotters and a set of measuring instruments (tools). Data exchange within the system is carried out according to the NMEA-0183, NMEA-2000 protocol.
As you know, before choosing a supplier of high-tech marine electronics, shipbuilders are guided by several factors. This is a high reputation of the brand, and an intuitive interface, easy installation, a high level of quality of warranty and post-warranty service.
Garmin has achieved another success in the integrated marine networking market and has become the electronics supplier of choice for the world's leading marine builders and consumers.
