INTRODUCTION
The GEONAV is a chart plotter that can be interfaced with a
GPS receiver, autopilot and other onboard instruments, and
allows displaying the boat's geographical position with respect
to an electronic chart. Thanks to the GEONAV and a
NAVIONICS Platinum™ or Gold™ electronic chart, you will
never get lost even in case of fog, bad weather or dark.
The GEONAV has been designed to allow flush mounting.
Equipped with an easy-to-use keyboard, the GEONAV allows
controlling the autopilot directly from the plotter (Easy Pilot
function) and, thanks to the unlimited capacity of the
CompactFlash™ cartridges - that can also be used on PCs as
personal hard disks - can store a large amount of route, track
and marker data.
The GEONAV is ready for connection with the wind station
and echosounder and, thanks to windows enabled automati-
cally, able to display the relevant data, if available. The con-
nection supports the NMEA 0183 standard protocol.
The Route functions will allow you to plan a trip, while, thanks
to the new multimedia NAVIONICS Platinum™ electronic
charts, you will always know exactly the boat's position.
NAVIONICS Platinum™ charts provide a detailed coverage of
all the most popular boating areas, offer new functions - such
as 3D display, satellite photographs, etc. - and can be used in
addition to official paper charts to obtain additional informa-
tion such as the availability of port services, as well as tides
and currents data. NAVIONICS Platinum™ and Gold™ elec-
tronic charts are available worldwide from authorized
NAVIONICS dealers.
When new functions are available, it will be possible to up-
date the GEONAV internal software at any GEONAV dealer.
