The Navico Group Brands

• B&G: Specialists in sailing electronics since 1956, B&G equips racing and cruising sailboats with tactical navigation instruments, ultra-precise autopilots and multifunction displays optimized for sailing performance.
• Simrad: A leader in professional fishing and commercial navigation, Simrad offers high-definition radars, advanced CHIRP sonars, robust autopilot systems and network integration solutions for fishing and working vessels.
• Lowrance: Leader in electronics for freshwater and coastal fishing, Lowrance offers affordable fishfinders/chartplotters with Active Imaging, DownScan, SideScan and FishReveal technology to locate fish accurately.

Navigation and Mapping Systems

Navico Group multifunction displays integrate mapping, radar, sounder and navigation data into a unified and intuitive interface.

• B&G Vulcan and Zeus: Touchscreen displays optimized for sailing with tactical data overlay (heading, VMG, TWA, TWS) on the chart. Compatible with Navionics and C-MAP charts.
• Simrad NSS evo3S and NSO evo3S : Professional range with high brightness screens, fast processor and Ethernet network for multi-sensor integration (radar, sonar, AIS, autopilot).
• Lowrance HDS Live and Elite : Fishfinders/chartplotters with touchscreen and wireless connectivity for map updates, waypoint sharing and remote control via smartphone.

Maritime Radar

Navico Group radars use Broadband or HALO Pulse Compression technology for reliable detection of targets at short and long range.

• HALO Radars (B&G and Simrad): Compressed pulse radars offering instant target detection, rapid refresh, and exceptional discrimination. Ideal for coastal and offshore navigation.
• Broadband 4G /3G Radars: Low-power radars with improved target detection and instant standby mode. Suitable for sailboats and small vessels.

Sounders and Underwater Imaging

Navico Group's surveying technologies offer ultra-detailed visualization of underwater structure and fish.

• Simrad ForwardScan: Forward sonar to detect underwater obstacles up to 90 meters ahead of the boat, improving safety in shallow water navigation.
• High Frequency CHIRP: Multi-frequency chirp sounding technology for exceptional target separation and accurate fish identification.
• Active Imaging (Lowrance): Combines CHIRP, DownScan and SideScan in a single transducer for complete coverage of the seabed and lateral structures.
• StructureScan 3D: Real-time 3D imaging of the seabed, offering a photo-realistic visualization of structures and fish.

Autopilots

Navico Group autopilots ensure precise heading with reduced consumption, suitable for sailboats and motorboats.

• B&G Autopilot: Sailing-specific systems with performance modes (TWA, VMG) and automatic heel compensation. Algorithms optimized for upwind and downwind sailing.
• Simrad AP Series: Robust autopilots for fishing and commercial vessels, with heading control, automatic route following and trolling mode.
• Lowrance Outboard Pilot : Compact system for outboard boats with simplified installation and wireless control via smartphone.

Network Integration and Connectivity

Navico Group systems use NMEA 2000 and Ethernet protocols for seamless network integration and data sharing between all equipment.

• NMEA 2000 : Maritime communication standard for connecting GPS, depth sounder, autopilot, anemometer, wind vane and engine sensors on a single network.
• High Speed ​​Ethernet : Ethernet network to connect multiple MFD displays, radar and sonar modules with real-time data sharing.
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth : Wireless connectivity for software updates, waypoint sharing and remote control via mobile applications (B&G, Simrad, Lowrance).

💡 Skysat's advice

When installing Navico Group systems, prioritize a well-structured NMEA 2000 network architecture with a stabilized power supply and adequate shielding to prevent interference. Ensure all devices share the same chart version for data consistency. For multi-brand installations (B&G + Simrad), verify the compatibility of transducers and radar modules before purchasing.
