1 Introduction

The G-PILOT 3380 is a superior quality, high
performance G-PILOT display head. The
Navman G-PILOT system has the flexibility to
be used with power or sail boats.
The G-PILOT 3380 has dedicated function
keys and a large 3.8" Color TFT display. This
provides the user with exceptionally easy to
use controls.
The G-PILOT 3380 is part of the Navman
family of instruments for boats, which
includes instruments for speed, depth, wind
and repeaters. These instruments can be
connected together to form an integrated data
system for a boat. The G-PILOT's performance
is enhanced if it is connected to a boat speed
instrument such as a NAVMAN SPEED 3100 or a
GPS instrument.
