Full Networked Chartplotter
Available in 8-inch and 12-inch versions, the new Simrad NSE multifunction display brings professional-grade navigation electronics to the leisure and light commercial user.

Built to withstand the toughest conditions, the Simrad NSE8 is a stunningly fast, full-function chartplotter right out of the box, supplied pre-loaded with Navionics Platinum (ex-USA) or HD Insight (USA only) cartography. But that's just the beginning, as the Simrad NSE8 offers owners the opportunity to add over time a wide range of modules and transducers that will extend its capabilities to include functioning as a best-in-class echo sounder / fishfinder, radar display (both HD and broadband), AIS transceiver, autopilot control, engine performance display and much more, all accessible from a single screen (additional screens can be added as required) and displayed in the format and combination of your choice. And it's all easy to install thanks to its SimNet / NMEA2000 compatibility ? just plug in the new unit and the NSE will recognise and configure it automatically.

Key features - Simrad NSE8:

• Pre-loaded Navionics Platinum charts (Insight HD for the Americas) plus super-fast chart redraw for seamless navigation even at high speeds.
• Simple controls even for the first-time user, with an all-new alphanumeric keypad, rotary controller and direct access keys.
