1-1 Overview
The Simrad NX40/45 is a rugged, highly integrated
marine chartplotter and shnder. It is easy to use and
has a high resolution color display. Complex functions
can be performed with only a few key presses, taking the

video from a compatible source, such as a camera.
Fuel functions require fuel sensors to be installed.•
SmartCraft engine functions require a SmartCraft •

The NX40/45 can send data to other instruments, •
such as an autopilot, and receive data from other
instruments.
Radar functions require an optional Simrad radar •
system to be installed.
