Welcome to the Q Experience 2.0.
Make sure to read this guide to get the most out of your Q Experience!
The Q Experience produces easy-to-use smart navigation plotters, making boating and
navigation easier and smarter for everyone. This smart navigation system is more than just
a regular plotter. It brings together everything a plotter needs from navigation to
entertainment.
The Q Display 2 Series product family includes three plotter sizes:
•Q Display 210 (10”)
•Q Display 216 (16”)
•Q Display 210D (Double 10”)
They all have the same general functions, introduced in this user guide.
Making boating easier and smarter
Your new Q Display has been designed with good usability in mind. It has a clear and bright
waterproof touchscreen, and easy-to-read navigation menus. You can control your boat’s
navigation, heating, music, Fishfinder, radar, weather info etc. all with the same device.
The Q Display is also customizable to your own liking. You can pin the things you most need
to the sidebar on the right side of your Q Display, and you can create your own views of
applications to find them fast whenever needed. By creating split-views you can make
multitasking easier than it ever was before!
The Q Experience also focuses on safety. The Q Display’s bright screen will keep you on the
map, wherever you are going. It also has automatic weather warnings to give you a heads up
on approaching bad weather.
Keep your boat safe with the Q Mobile App
The
Guard
-feature, that you can find on the
Q Experience
app, keeps your boat safe while
on the docks. It will alarm you if the boat is filling up with water or if there is a boat theft.
The Q Experience mobile app also always keeps all your boating info with you, wherever you
go. You can download it from your phone’s app store.
NOTE: Buster, Yamarin, and Yamarin Cross boats use their own
Buster Q
and
Yamarin Q
mobile apps.
Notice! You can access this guide any time from your plotter’s Home menu > Info >
