Superyacht navigation
Simrad aims for the top of the market with new high end navigationMillion dollar megayachts don't look good sitting high and dry on a tropical reef, so Simrad has produced a new generation professional navigation system designed to match many commercial vessel navigation systems.
The Simrad MX510/512 is aimed at the booming superyacht market and promises to provide the ultimate in navigational accuracy -- latitude and longitude can be presented so skippers can know their position with accuracy of up to four decimal places.
The system uses advanced PC-based technology and a powerful Intel PXA255 XScale processor to provide position data with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
The units are compatible with Simrad's antennas, GPS receivers and GPS compass systems and are also backwards compatible with older systems.
Both the MX510 and 512 can store up to 2000 waypoints with 20 character alphanumeric names and icons and 100 routes (with up to 2000 waypoints in each).
The systems can also show a 3D panoramic steering display, tides, speed graphs, a sun/moon almanac and wind calculations. The data is provided on a large and clear 14.5cm backlit LCD screen.
