Raymarine Marine GPS System manual Contour Display

Introduction

Integrates with Raymarine’s SeaTalk® and NMEA 0183 Data Output Devices

Navigator is designed to work transparently with Raymarine’s SeaTalk data communications package, or any other device that outputs data in NMEA 0183 format. This enables parameters such as Heading, Wind Speed/Direction, Sea Temperature, and a variety of others to be accessed and displayed within Navigator. Navigator can also connect to such onboard systems as Ockam, B&G, and KVH via a standard RS-232 data cable. This enables the information collected by Navigator to be relayed and displayed on your vessel’s standard onboard instrumentation systems.

Navigator also connects to Radar systems that are capable of outputting Cursor Range and Bearing, and also to ARPA Radar systems. This allows targets identified by Radar to be plotted on directly onto Navigator’s chart displays. You can also connect Navigator to a variety of proprietary instruments, and generate comprehensive log files which can then be analyzed from within Navigator or saved and exported for future external analysis.

3-D Contour Display

Navigator’s advanced 3-D Contour Display shows your vessel, the ocean floor, and other related information using a 3-D vector-style display. This enables you to view any area, such as favored fishing and sailing spots, harbor entrances, and so forth, within a full, 3- dimensional window. Images can be rotated 360° so you can view your vessel’s position from virtually an angle. 3-D Contour gives you useful navigational perspectives that you might not be able to ascertain from a conventional display.

The 3-D Contour Display includes:

∙Past navigational markers

∙Depth markers

∙Transducer cone images
