Garmin released new versions of its proprietary BlueChart cartography earlier this year, and improved the accuracy of its underwater structural details, including 1-foot HD fishing contours.
Marine electronics companies have taken a cue from the best consumer-electronics makers and are making the software do the heavy lifting when it comes to upgraded features.
SonarChart Live is a Navionics feature add-on to a recent update of Raymarine’s Lighthouse II operating system that allows users to create bathymetric charts in real time.
Lightweight, easily stowable, and with performance to spare, the Allston isn’t your father’s commuter bike. Check our must-see video review here.
AIS is a powerful system for helping boats avoid collisions, but that’s just scratching the surface of its capability. Case in point: A smart virtual buoy system coming online soon that will protect power lines on the seabed of Long Island Sound.
The electronics available today have done nothing short of revolutionizing the way we use our boats to fish. But beyond the fishfinders and chartplotters that help target chosen species, there’s so much more to add to the advantage. See the upgrades here.
Bolstering your boat’s safety doesn’t have to be expensive.
Leave it to the folks at Caterpillar to help build one of the most rugged phones on the market today.
C-MAP’s new High Resolution Bathymetry fishing charts actually put contour-line data in a 3-D view.
Garmin’s latest addition to the GPSMAP lineup are the 8400 and 8600 series, which offer the highest screen resolution available in a dedicated marine display…
The SI-TEX Vector compact GPS compass contains a pair of GPS receivers matched to a single clock for precise heading and boat position information.
A new system from Hinckley Yacht Services called OnWatch connects clients’ boats to the service yard and head off problems. If it works, it will mean less downtime and more relaxed, stress-free boating. Get the whole story here.
Technology really stands out when stacked alongside a seasoned cruiser. Check out Arawak’s Simrad helm system.
Earlier in the year two U.S. Navy Riverine Commnad Boats found themselves embarrassingly off course in Iranian waters. The Navy blamed navigational error but is that what really happened? Capt. Bill Pike conducts an exclusive investigation.
Radar technology has recently gone in a radical new direction thanks to solid-state technology; Jason Y. Wood explains what this means for you and your helm.
