Simrad GB40 Glass Bridge

The new Simrad GB40 Glass Bridge integrated navigation system has been specifically engineered for mid-sized power and sailing vessels

Simrad said the highly-flexible GB40 delivers professional-grade power, functionality and robust reliability -providing skippers and crew with a total overview of their surroundings and complete control of the vessel.


At the heart of the GB40 is a compact NavComputer which comes pre-loaded with global C-Map MAX Pro 3D cartography - combining GPS, land elevation, satellite photos and bathymetric seafloor data to produce a virtual earth display that visually represents the environment around, above and below the vessel.


Simrad said the system's functionality can be enhanced by adding one or more of the available upgrade modules.


The manufacturer said anglers will appreciate the GB40 echo sounder. The high-power (600W or 1kW) dual-frequency (200/50KHz) sounder provides excellent bottom and fish detection down to 1000m (1kW power, depending on onditions).


A full range of high-performance Digital Signal Processing (DSP) radar options is also available - from 2kW adome units to powerful 25kW open array systems.


Complementing the GB40 system is a series of super high-resolution Glass Bridge monitors. Available in 254, 381 and 483mm sizes (for multi-station installation), the full-colour TFT monitors are fully daylight viewable, while a night palette dims the display for safe night operation.
