Feature details

• Motionscope Technology: MotionScope uses the Doppler effect to detect moving targets and highlight them in different colors so users can navigate around other boats or severe weather — or toward fishing spots where birds feed at the surface.
• Automatic Acquisition: New mini-automatic radar plotting aid (MARPA) automatic acquisition allows for triggering and tracking of up to 30 targets with no user prompting on all returns, boundary zones, guard zones, or MotionScope.
• Clear the Way: Scan-to-scan averaging aids in the reduction of sea clutter and interference, so users have a clear view of what’s out there.
• Auto Bird Gain: Locate flocks of birds at the water’s surface where baitfish are also likely to be found
• Pulse Compression: This feature provides high-resolution imaging while maximizing energy to enhance target detection and identification.
• Echo Trails: A historical “trail” is left on the screen to help users quickly and easily identify moving targets and potential collision threats.
• Radar Overlay: Overlay radar images onto a chart plotter’s map page. Users can add an optional autopilot or heading sensor (sold separately) for best results.
• Dynamic Sea Filter: Dynamic Sea Filter automatically adjusts gain to calm, medium, and rough sea conditions.
• Guard Zone: Set the safety zone, and receive an alarm when an object enters the zone.
