Integrated WiFi & Bluetooth
Thanks to the integrated WIFI module, you can mirror and operate the Raymarine eS78 with your smartphone or tablet or iPhone or iPad. Just download Raymarine's mobile apps to your mobile device.
Furthermore, you can use a Quantum radar antenna to wirelessly connect to the Raymarine eS78.

SeaTalkNG - NMEA200 / NMEA0183 support

1: EV1 sensor, 2: AIS transponder, 3: DST800 - depth, speed, temperature, 4: ST60 / ST40 series - SeaTalk1, 5: SeaTalk1 - SeaTalkNG converter
Full SeaTalkNG / NMEA2000 connectivity
The Raymarine eS78 is equipped with a SeaTalkNG interface. This enables a simple network setup and the rapid exchange of data from a wide range of instruments and encoders. Control your Evolution autopilot conveniently via the autopilot control unit and the eS78. Plan new routes on the eS78 and send them to your autopilot using SeaTalkNG / NMEA2000.
Thanks to the NMEA2000 standard, the Raymarine eS78 is also compatible with third-party NMEA2000-compliant encoders. Depending on the encoders present in the NMEA2000 network, you can display the following data, among others:
SeaTalk1 compatible
With the help of the Raymarine SeaTalk1 on SeaTalkNG Converter, you can bidirectionally integrate your old Raymarine ST40 or ST60 instruments into the SeaTalkNG network and display the data on the Raymarine eS78.
NMEA0183 interface
The NMEA0183 compatibility allows the Raymarine eS78 to connect to NMEA0183-enabled devices such as AIS, radios or external GPS receivers. For the use of the NMEA0183 interface, a NMEA0183 data cable is required (Art .: 21600).
Raynet / Ethernet compatible
Connection-friendly
Ensure a secure connection by, for example, connecting a Raymarine Quantum radar antenna directly to the eS78 using Raynet. Alternatively you can connect two eS78 displays with each other. For example, sharing two eS78 shares the data of your electronic nautical chart. The following data is exchanged between the devices via Raynet.
For the connection of more than one eS78 or the additional use of a Raymarine Quantum antenna is recommended the use of a Raynet HS5 switch.

Fishfinder - CHIRP DownVision™
Fishing with the Raymarine eS series allows you to spend more time catching fish and less time searching! This is made possible by the integrated CHIRP DownVision ™ module (encoder / transducer optional), which delivers high-resolution underwater images.
Recommended encoders
Both encoders provide DownVision™ and CHIRP:

Down Vision ™

Are there charts installed already and if so what area do they cover. Thank you
Hello Laurence, Preinstalled is always a base world map, that for navigation is not capable. An matching card from Navionics or C-MAP you can find in our Seachartfinder under that link https://www.svb24.com/?t=seachartnavigator&action=index
In addition to Arne's answer, I would like to add that raster charts are also supported by NV-Verlag and Delius-Klasing as well as NOAA raster charts. These must be downloaded from the Raymarine chart store.
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately with the added expense of the navionics card it takes it out of my budget.
Can i choose Greek as main language? Is greek available?
Does the plotter works with Simrad / Navico 2kW Radar Processor RDR1021MD and radar ?
Hello, can I buy 3pin power cable for eS78 MFD separately? Do you have it on the stock?
Raymarine offers a straight plug cable (R70159) and a 90 degree angled plug cable (A80221). Please contact SVB for availability.
