Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The GEONAV is a chart plotter that displays your boat's cur-
rent position with respect to an electronic chart.
The unit can be optionally equipped with a built-in GPS re-
ceiver that can track up to 12 satellites simultaneously and be
interfaced with:
•
An external GPS
•
A depth sounder
•
An autopilot
By using a GEONAV and a NAVIONICS electronic chart, you will
never get lost even in bad weather conditions such as fog, rain or
dark because your plotter will always display where you are and
where your are heading to.
The ROUTE function will allow you to plan a trip, MARKERS will
allow you to mark points of interest whereas the TRACK function
will allow you to record your actual route. Thanks to the un-
limited capacity of the new CompactFlash™ cartridges - that
can also be used on PCs as personal hard disks - the instru-
ment can store a large amount of route, track and marker data.
NAVIONICS GOLD CHARTS are available for all the most popu-
lar boating areas and can be used in addition to official paper
charts to obtain additional information, such as the availabil-
ity of port services, as well as tides and currents data.
NAVIONICS electronic charts are available worldwide from
authorized NAVIONICS dealers.
Should new functions be available in the future, it will be
possible to update the GEONAV internal software at any
NAVIONICS dealer.
