Raymarine’s new premier navigation system, the G Series, will be on show for the first time at METS. Offering more than just navigation, G Series is a “complete information, command and entertainment system providing a comprehensive and powerful solution for all onboard requirements”.

The G Series is a high performance networked system that features a built-in high capacity hard drive, the GPM400 processor module. This offers ten times the processing speed of conventional marine electronics, providing superb PC-like performance. The G Series is fully marinised, designed to withstand the harsh saltwater environment. The system provides a central display for navigational data, instrument information, video and on-board cameras, radar, fishfinders and cartography. The G Series comes pre-loaded with worldwide cartography from Navionics. This highly detailed mapping shows navigation charts, 3D topography, and aerial photographic views of ports, port data, animated tides and currents. Charts for entire geographic regions are loaded on the internal hard drive.

As expected from “a top of the range system”, the G Series introduces new technology into many of the modules linked to the series. The HD Digital radar, for example, “is perfect for the new G Series, delivering unmatched performance and ease-of-use. Maximising digital radar receiver performance, HD Digital Radar technology enables Raymarine radars to deliver target detection to rival much larger and more powerful radar systems”.
