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.
The unit can be installed onboard and, at the same time, work
as a portable instrument, thanks to rechargeable Li-Ion Poly-
mer batteries. The car navigation functions make the unit a
complete car navigator, with turn-by-turn driving functions
assisted by voice instructions.
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 the 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
as 3D display, satellite photographs, etc. - and can be used in
addition to official paper charts to obtain further information
such as the availability of port services, as well as tides and
