Simplified Navigation Function

Navigation screen

The Navigation function guides you to a specified waypoint or AIS target. You can assign up to 100 destinations as waypoints, such as your favorite fishing spots or starting positions for yacht races.

Combined with MA-510TR Supports Safer Navigation

When connected to the optional MA-510TR Class B AIS transponder, you can send and receive real-time information about vessels, including identity, position, speed, course, and other relevant data, displayed on your screen. Making your vessel's position known to others helps prevent collisions and accidents, especially at night, in rough weather, or in crowded shipping routes.
