B&G launches sail-specific Glass Helm

B&G INTRODUCES SUPERFAST, ZEUS2 GLASS HELM SAILING NAVIGATION SYSTEM

B&G recently revealed its revolutionary new multifunction navigation system, the Zeus2 Glass Helm. Perfectly suited to bluewater cruisers and super yachts, the easy-to-use Zeus2 Glass Helm brings together sail-specific features with a dual independent output for unprecedented sailing navigation.

Zeus2 Glass Helm features high-power processing for lightning fast charting, radar, and sonar, stunning dual widescreen displays for uncompromising style, intuitive multi-touch control and extensive compatibility for unrivalled integration.

Setting a new standard in Glass Bridge navigation, the Zeus2 Glass Helm epitomises perfection in premium multifunction navigation, and includes sailing specific features from the SailSteer composite sailing screen to WindPlot and Sailing Time calculations – no other Glass Helm system today has been designed specifically for sailors.

B&G’s new Zeus2 Glass Helm system is world’s first multifunction sailing specific system to offer dual-independent video outputs with full HD resolution. The system itself is comprised of a powerful quad-core Zeus2 Processor and sleek, yet tough, ZM Series monitors to provide completely independent display and control of the latest in sailing navigation functionality.

Zeus2 ZM Series monitors provide a stunning low profile, glass-bridge look with more screen and less border than other solutions. Available in 16-inch and 19-inch high-bright Multi-Touch (T) models, the monitors feature on-glass menu keys and can be flush mounted in pedestals and nav stations or installed on a VESA mount.

A fully expandable system, Zeus2 Glass Helm’s substantial connectivity options provide seamless connectivity with other Zeus-Series devices on board, as well as the comprehensive range of innovative B&G instruments, pilots and performance modules.

Offering the latest in multi-touch navigation, key navigation features are quickly accessible from the system’s icon-driven home screen, charts can be panned, zoomed and personalised with familiar consumer electronics gestures, and the new screen splits and data panel configurations are optimised for widescreen viewing.

The Zeus2 Glass Helm also supports the widest choice of cartography options in the market, including Jeppesen C-Map Max-N charts, Navionics Gold and Platinum, Insight Genesis, NV Digital Charts

and other third-party products – including the ability to navigate using two distinct chart types simultaneously. It also provides full support for the ZC1 networked remote control allowing activation of navigation and Pilot functions.

Providing powerful navigation with versatile and simple expansion capabilities, the Zeus2 Glass Helm provides plug-and-play integration with B&G Broadband Radar, GoFree Wireless Wifi-1, SonicHub® marine audio server and more.

Available from B&G dealers now, the exceptional B&G Zeus2 Glass Helm complements the modern super yacht of today and has RRP pricing of $6475, with ZM-Series Multi-Touch displays ranging from $4949 to $7204. The system is protected by the B&G Advantage Service Program.
