Simrad, world-leader in the design and manufacture of marine electronics, announced its revolutionary new multifunction navigation system, the Simrad NSO evo2. Setting a new standard in the Glass Bridge navigation experience, the advanced NSO evo2 brings together the core elements of today’s premier marine electronics. 

Featuring high-power processing for lightning fast charting, sonar, radar and entertainment, stunning dual widescreen displays for uncompromising style, a masterfully redesigned user interface for intuitive multi-touch control, and limitless compatibility for unrivaled integration. Perfectly suited to recreational blue water powerboats and commercial vessels, the NSO evo2 epitomises perfection in premium multifunction navigation.

The world’s first multifunction system to offer dual-discrete video output with full HD resolution, Simrad’s new NSO evo2 black box distributed system is two powerful MFDs in one. Whether using side-by-side monitors or a single monitor and a GoFree-enabled tablet, the system’s quad-core processors deliver unprecedented, completely independent, display, performance and control of the latest in navigation functionality.

A fully expandable system, NSO evo2’s substantial connectivity options provides seamless connectivity with other NS-Series devices on board, as well as the comprehensive range of innovative Simrad Performance Modules.

Sporting a sophisticated style to complement the vessel helms of discriminating boaters, the NSO evo2’s MO Series monitors provide a stunning low profile, glass-bridge look that provides more screen and less border than other solutions. Available in 16-inch, 19-inch and 24-inch Pilot House (P) non-touch and high-bright Multi-Touch (T) and models, the monitors feature on-glass menu keys, and can be flush mounted in a dash or installed on a VESA mount.

Offering the latest in TouchSensible™ navigation, the NSO evo2 harnesses the power of Multi-Touch with full support for OP40 wired remote control, to deliver a dynamic and intuitive new user interface. Key navigation features are quickly accessible from the system’s icon-driven home screen, charts can be moved, zoomed and personalised with familiar consumer electronics gestures, and the new screen splits and data panel configurations are optimised for widescreen viewing.

The NSO evo2 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.

Providing powerful navigation with versatile and simple expansion capabilities, the NSO evo2 provides plug-and-play integration with Simrad Broadband Radar, GoFree Wireless Wifi-1, BSM-2 CHIRP and BSM-1 echo sounders, StructureScan® Sonar Imaging, SonarHub™ Sounder, SonicHub® marine audio server and more. The NSO evo2 also allows for plug-and-play connectivity to marine electronics displays and add-on technologies from countless manufacturers.

“The NSO evo2 system with ground breaking new displays offers access to the most integrated navigation platform on the market while providing the premium feature and benefits for a non-compromising, high-end distributed multifunction solutions,” said Leif Ottosson, CEO of Simrad Yachting. “Combining reliable, cutting-edge navigation, data and media integration, the impressively sleek style and smart performance of the system is matched by the attention to its efficiency and ease of use. Its plug-and-play installation, eye catching dual multi-touch displays, seamless menu system and intuitive operation allows boaters to enjoy their time on the water straightaway and not spend it learning a new system.”
