The integrated 10 Hz GPS receiver and multi-touch display with the latest pinch-to-zoom technology make the 5" display a fully functional chart plotter. Take advantage of Navionics+ and C-MAP MAX-N+ nautical chart support and choose from a variety of sailing areas.

Award-winning sailing features
Experience the highly acclaimed B&G Sailing/Cruising features such as SailSteer™, SailTime™, Laylines, Windplot and enhanced display of sailing instruments with the B&G Vulcan 12R. These functions not only boost your performance in regattas, but also allow you to enjoy a relaxed afternoon cruise.
