INTRODUCTION
The GEONAV is a handheld chartplotter that displays the
boat’s current position with respect to an electronic chart.
The unit is equipped with a built-in GPS receiver that can
track up to 12 satellites simultaneously and be interfaced with:
• An external GPS
• A depth sounder
• An autopilot
The unit can be installed onboard, interfaced with the NMEA
instruments and - at the same time - work as a portable instru-
ment, thanks to four AA alkaline cells or rechargeable batter-
ies.
The unit is also equipped with a built-in battery charger that
starts operating automatically when the unit is powered. To-
tally waterproof (IPX7), the unit is equipped with a daylight
visible, color TFT display.
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 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 unlimited capacity of the new CompactFlash™ cartridges -
that can also be used on PCs as personal hard disks - the
instrument can store a large amount of route, track and marker
data.
NAVIONICS Platinum™ charts provide a detailed coverage of
all the most popular boating areas, offer new functions - such
