INTRODUCTION

The GEONAV is a chart plotter that can be interfaced with a GPS receiver, autopilot and other onboard instruments, and allows displaying the boat’s geographical position with respect to an electronic chart. Thanks to the GEONAV and a NAVIONICS Gold™ electronic chart, you will never get lost even in case of fog, bad weather or dark.

The GEONAV has been designed to allow flush mounting. Equipped with an easy-to-use keyboard, the GEONAV allows controlling the autopilot directly from the plotter (Easy Pilot function) and, thanks to the unlimited capacity of the CompactFlash™ cartridges - that can also be used on PCs as personal hard disks - can store a large amount of route, track and marker data.

The GEONAV is ready for connection with the wind station and echosounder and, thanks to windows enabled automati- cally, able to display the relevant data, if available. The con- nection supports both the NMEA 0183 standard protocol and the Ethernet Connection system, suitable for the network con- nection of multiple stations.

The Route functions will allow you to plan a trip, while, thanks to NAVIONICS Gold™ electronic charts, you will always know exactly the boat’s position. NAVIONICS Gold™ charts are avail- able for all the most popular boating areas, provide a large amount of data - thanks to the object-oriented technology - and can be used in addition to official paper charts to obtain additional information such as the availability of port services, as well as tides and currents data. NAVIONICS Gold™ elec- tronic charts are available worldwide from authorized NAVIONICS dealers.

Should new functions be available in the future, it will be possible to update the GEONAV internal software at any NAVIONICS dealer.
