Adrena LL1 radar overlay licence

This is a software license, meaning a dematerialized activation key. It allows you to unlock a specific feature in the Adrena navigation software: the real-time overlay of your B&G or Simrad radar image directly onto your charts.

This license is exclusively compatible with Adrena version V20. It will not work with earlier versions of the software.

No, purchasing this license does not require any additional physical hardware. It is a purely software update, provided that your radar is already connected to your onboard computer's Ethernet network.

The main advantage is optimal situational awareness. You can view on a single screen:

Your detailed charts. AIS targets. Raw radar echoes (squalls, coastlines, other vessels without AIS).This centralizes critical information and facilitates tactical decision-making.

This license is designed to work with B&G and Simrad brand radars. It is imperative that the radar (dome or pedestal) is interfaced via the boat's Ethernet network.

This product is dematerialized. You will receive an activation key or license code electronically. There is no physical shipment.

While it offers a major strategic advantage in racing (visualizing wind shifts, competitors), it is also very useful for cruising. It improves safety by allowing better detection of lobster pots, obstacles, and weather squalls not visible on the chart alone.

For the overlay to work, your B&G or Simrad radar must be connected to the same Ethernet network as the computer on which the Adrena V20 software is installed. Radar data is transmitted over this network to be displayed in the software.

No, this license is specifically developed for the Navico ecosystem. It is not compatible with radars from Garmin, Raymarine, or other brands.

It adds the raw radar echo image. This allows you to see elements directly on the chart such as:

Squalls and rain areas. Wind shifts on the water (depending on conditions and radar type). Boats and obstacles not equipped with AIS. The actual coastline, regardless of chart accuracy.

No. The Adrena navigation software is designed to run on computers equipped with the Windows operating system. Therefore, this license can only be used on a PC.

The activation process generally involves entering the license key you received into a dedicated field within the Adrena V20 software. Once the key is validated, the radar overlay functionality is unlocked.

Yes, for the radar function. By centralizing charts, AIS, and radar on the onboard computer, it eliminates the need to consult a separate plotter screen for the radar image, thus simplifying the navigation station.

No, this license is a specific extension module for the Adrena software. It is not compatible and will not work with other navigation software.

An internet connection is generally required for the initial activation of the license. However, once the license is activated, the radar overlay function works offline, using only your boat's local Ethernet network.

No, the license does not improve the intrinsic performance of your radar dome or beam (range, target discrimination). It simply allows its data to be integrated and displayed in a new and more tactical way within the Adrena software.

In racing, it allows you to anticipate local weather phenomena (squalls, storms) and visualize the position of competitors not equipped with AIS, all directly on the tactical chart. This allows for faster and more informed routing decisions without leaving the main interface.

The English term "overlap" means "superposition" or "chevauchement". In this context, it refers to the function of superimposing the radar image (echoes) over the navigation chart displayed by the Adrena software.
