Simrad NSS8 Navigation Pack - NSS8 & 3G Radar

NSS8 Multifunction Display

For recreational boaters who require a reliable, high-quality, fully integrated, extensible navigation platform, Simrad NSS Sport is a networked MFD that provides: touchscreen control, superior screen brightness, and compatibility with all Simrad Performance Modules. Unlike other touchscreen devices, NSS delivers a touch user interface with an assimilated keypad and rotary controller, in-built performance Echosounder on NSS7 and NSS8 and GPS and full network compatibility with all NS Series displays, devices and accessories.

Extreme Ease of Use
Simple menus and icons on the touch-screen display guide you to the information you need, and the keypad includes one-touch buttons for immediate access to important functions such as autopilot. It's easy to use for everyone onboard. Touch Sensible™ Technology
Developed specifically for the marine environment, Touch Sensible™ technology is the combination of touch-screen, keypad, and smooth rotary controller. This perfect blend allows the NSS Sport to deliver unrivaled performance of every function with the simple touch of a finger, in any sea state.
Fast, Fully Loaded Chartplotter
The NSS Sport is a fast and complete chartplotter, loaded with exclusive Nautic Insight™ U.S. coastal cartography detail. Pan charts, mark waypoints, and build routes with touch-screen ease, while enjoying ultra-fast and silk-smooth zooming with the rotary controller.
Expandable
The NSS Sport is fully compatible and networks easily with every Simrad Yachting high-performance module. It can also be integrated with NSE and NSO systems for ultimate flexibility.
Full Control and Integration
Monitor your engine, steer your autopilot, turn on your livewell or bilge pump, even set mood lighting - it's all a touch simpler with the NSS Sport.
Bright
Unique LED backlighting technology allows the NSS Sport display to be bright, clear, and highly visible in every conceivable condition. This technology also reduces power consumption and increases product life.

Simrad Broadband 3G™ Radar

Faster, better, longer...

Join the Broadband Radar™ revolution for superior short-range target detection and unrivalled target separation.

• Crystal Clear Images
  
• Zero Radiation Hazard
  
• InstantOn™
  
• Low Power Consumption
  
• Mount Anywhere
  
• Quick Installation
  
• Unrivalled Short-Range Performance

Now with 30% more range.
Broadband 3G™ Radar allows you to see more targets farther away from your boat. Now you get the same impressive short-range capabilities of the original Broadband Radar™ with the addition of exposing targets previously unseen before.

Unparalleled Short Range Target Discrimination - Where it Matters Most
Simrad Yachting's Broadband Radar™ provides amazing target resolution, even at an unprecedented 1/32 nm range. Docks, channel markers, moored vessels and other critical targets are displayed with clarity and separation, for added confi dence in close quarters. Broadband Radar™ technology also eliminates the "main bang" of a pulse radar - the obscured "dead zone" immediately around the vessel - which interferes with close target detection.

Lowest RF Transmission for Safe, Flexible Installation
Because Simrad Broadband Radar™ transmits at 1/10,000 the power of typical pulse radars (emitting 5 times less energy than an average cell phone), the radome is safe to mount in locations never before possible. In addition, the lowest DC power draw of any X-band marine radar makes this system ideally suited for sailboats and other vessels with limited power.

Navigation in an Instant
No more waiting 2-3 minutes for a magnetron to warm up - 100% solid-state design provides InstantOn™ capability. When darkness falls or the fog rolls in, you will always be ready. Ideal for sailboats wishing to save power, or boats at anchor not wishing to run the radar continuously.
