Packed with innovation and award-winning sailing features, the new B&G Vulcan multifunction display series is a must-have for every sailor. The Vulcan 7R features a 7" multi-touch display, built-in GPS and WiFi, excellent sonar technologies and radar compatibility. Transducer is not included.
With NMEA2000 connectivity, the Vulcan can be quickly and easily integrated into an onboard instrumentation system in order to take full advantage of the sailing features such as SailSteer and SailTime. In addition, the B&G Vulcan 7 is reasonably priced for a sailing chart plotter, ideal for offshore sailing and club racing.
User-friendly
The B&G Vulcan makes navigating and living on the water easier and safer! With familiar gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom and swipe, waypoints can be quickly and easily marked on the intuitive multi-touch display and routes can be planned with ease.
Special sailing functions for sailing or regattas
B&G stands for award-winning sailing features and ultimate navigation. All of your most important sailing data can be displayed together on one screen or superimposed on several maps. By simply linking all required sailing instruments, an intuitive graphical representation of wind data, wind direction, tides, speed, course and even jetties is possible. B&G SailingTime not only generates arrival times of beeline calculations, but also provides you with an accurate time based on the sailing course and the tides.
Easy integration
With industry-standard NMEA2000 connectivity, you can easily create a network of sailing instruments and sensors tailored to your needs. A special feature of the Vulcan 7R is the possibility to connect a radar via plug-and-play. Furthermore, your network can be expanded for example by autopilots, ForwardScan transducers or the SonicHub.
Secondary autopilot control panel
Use your Vulcan multifunction display as a secondary autopilot control panel for excellent navigation. The feature gives you easy access to Intelligent Sail Steering, manual and automatic control functions, and Smart Maneuver functions combined with intuitive menus.
Radar compatibility
The integrable B&G Broadband 3G or 4G radar provides excellent sailing support. Targets at a distance of up to 36 nautical miles (4G) can be recorded and evaluated with this feature.
Monitor the underwater world with excellent sonar technology
Know what's inside the water ahead of you! With the help of high-quality sonar technology and an optional ForwardScan transducer, you can confidently explore even poorly documented or unknown waters.
Integrated WiFi
The built-in Wi-Fi feature allows you to connect the Vulcan to a compatible smartphone or tablet. This creates a cost-effective dual-band station that lets you control your multi-function display anywhere on board. You can also access and view selected online services such as PredictWind weather forecasts and routing via port or smartphone hotspots.
