The Nauticast Facilitates Communication

It also interfaces with existing NMEA compatible equipment and sensors thereby ensuring problem free retrofitting and also allows connection to PCs, notebooks, radar systems and voyage data recorders.

The fully alphanumeric keyboard is combined with a simple, easy to operate menu navigation. The self-explanatory menu ensures that the user quickly becomes accustomed to the system.
