Northstar 6100i Review
May 27, 2009 by admin
The technology of integrated navigation has arrived, thanks to the Northstart 6100i Series. The latest Northstar systems are available in any size that you require and they are Navionics Platinum compatible. Navionics Platinum offers the most detailed 3D map views, port photos, satellite overlay maps and much more. The Northstar 6100i chartplotters come with built-in GPS antennas-you just choose the Navionics region that you need and you’re off!
The Northstar 6100i is a portable GPS system that is made especially for the boater. The Northstar 6100i will change how you think about marine electronics. It is very easy to use the Northstar 6100i, as a stand-alone unit or when used as an integrated system. You choose which display size you want and then choose the functions that are tailored to your needs. If you start simple, it stays simple, no matter if you own a big boat or a small vessel.
The 6000 series by Northstar is all about flexibility and offers you total integration from the hardware, software to upgrades.
The Northstar 6100i uses N2 Technology to move information around your boat. Enter a waypoint on one display, and see the waypoint on every display. By inserting a Navionics chart card into the master unit, N2 makes that same chart data available to the other units you have onboard. If you add a radar to the 6100i, then all the units are able to display and control the radar.
The Northstar 6k series offers you a choice of a 15, 12, 10.4, 8.4 and 6.4 inch display. You can choose every function or just one of the radar, plotter, sounder, video, multi-function displays, split screens and overlays-each via one button.
The radar, sounder and plotter are all easy to use, whether as stand-alones or as a part of an integrated system. Northstar teams up with Sirius Marine Radio to give you real-time, graphical weather info directly to your 6100i screen. Get the latest sea surface temperatures, lightning indicators, storm tracks, marine warnings, forecast wave heights, forecast winds and more.
