When it comes to displays, there are as many layouts and preferences as there are sailors, but B&G considers the latest 12- and 15-inch displays as their most streamlined and immersive instruments yet.
The wide aspect ratio allows for simple and clean information displays, making split screen arrangements more readable. They can be mounted at the helm, over the companionway, or down below—provided you have space.
“We’re thrilled to unveil B&G’s first ultrawide navigation display, delivering a truly immersive experience for sailors,” said Kevin Steinbraker, VP and General Manager, Digital Systems of Navico Group. “With its sleek, intuitive design, sailors can access everything they need in one seamless interface. The Zeus S Ultrawide not only simplifies navigation with preset dashboards for cruising and racing but also enhances safety through detailed C-MAP charts.”
Award-winning features like SailSteer™, Laylines, and StartLine are all available on the new device, as are C-MAP DISCOVER X charts, which are optimized specifically for the high pixel density display. A further upgrade to REVEAL X charts offers shaded relief and satellite imagery. Like previous models, it also has different pre-programmed display modes that offer optimized data for the type of sailing that users are doing, like racing, cruising, or anchoring.
Bigger isn’t always better, but when it comes to readability and displaying information cleanly, B&G might be onto something.
