NAVPILOT
500
The NavPilotTM 500
utilizes a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm, providing the
ultimate in course keeping capability. Essential parameters dynamically
adjust for vessel speed, trim, draught, tide and wind effects, dead
band, weather, etc. These parameters are stored in system memory and
continuously optimized.
Simple one-touch mode selection
provides reliable steering and course control. Multiple customizable
display modes include Rudder angle, Heading, Highway, Compass rose,
Wind, Nav Info, etc.
FishHunterTM is a
unique feature that forces a vessel to perform Orbit or Figure Eight
maneuvers around fish targets when a target is received from a
compatible Furuno sounder, sonar, or radar utilizing the TLL feature.
Orbit mode is also invoked when a MOB is received from a Nav Receiver.
Multi-station capability, maximum
of six stations, is available through the utilization of a high speed
network. The 1733C/NT also comes equipped
as a full function C-MapNT Chart Plotter. As an added feature, you can
even overlay Radar targets onto the chart to make it even easier to
understand.
This unit is part of the NavNet
family, which means you can add components to it. If you need a GPS/WAAS
fix, simply add the BBWGPS GPS/WAAS receiver. If a fish finders is what
you need, you can plug in the BBFF1 Network Sounder and it will turn the
unit into a fish finder. And if you want multiple displays, you can have
up to four displays in a single network.
As an added bonus, every NavNet
unit comes standard with an infrared remote control. This remote control
allows for operation of the unit from a distance, with similar control
functions as found on the unit directly. Standard
