The next generation of Simrad NavStations, the NX40 and NX45, have been engineered to lead boating’s growing trend towards powerful “information machines” capable of providing advanced chart plotting, radar, echosounder, camera images, instrument data, engine data, fuel data and more, in one easy-to-use display. The new NX40 and NX45 NavStation systems are designed to meet the requirements — today and in the future — for a wide range of power and sailboats 25-feet and larger. The NX40 features easy to use controls and an 8.4-inch sunlight viewable high-resolution TFT colour display. The NX45 provides all the same functions and operation with a large 12.1-inch display. These easy-to-read bonded displays are ideal for presenting the detailed bottom contour data, land data and value-added information found on compatible C-Map MAX electronic charts. Power and sail boaters alike benefit from useful data presentations including aerial photos of harbours and inlets, Dynamic Surface Currents, Tidal Predictions Flashing NavAids, Perspective View (a “birds-eye” view of the charts) and more. Both the NX40 and NX45 feature a built-in high-performance echosounder, so all the serious angler has to do is add a transducer from a wide range of choices. The NavStation will automatically adjust to 600 or 1 kW according to the actual transducer. Sail boaters can also benefit from this built-in functionality — receiving useful depth, speed and temperature information. These new NavStations can also be easily upgraded to provide advanced radar functions, with a choice of radar systems with 2kW radome, 4kW radome or 6kW open array scanners. Using Simrad’s NMEA 2000-based SimNet data sharing network, these NX NavStation units can easily be interfaced with a range of compatible Simrad products, including instruments, autopilots and VHF radios. Simrad’s new AI50 AIS (Automatic Identification System) connected to the NavStation allows boaters to see and be seen by other AIS-equipped vessels for improved safety on congested waterways. Additionally, non-SimNet based equipment can be easily interfaced with the NX40 and NX45 via NMEA 2000 or NMEA0183. Useful data like fuel and engine monitoring and infrared camera images can be viewed on the NX40 and NX45 display, for added safety and peace of mind.
