Screen Mirror
The main reason for purchasing Vulcan was Screen Mirror. Plan is to keep Plotter at Vav Table, tablet at helm.
Difficulties downloading B&G software, Link software...
No help from B&G.
Dissapointed!!!.

Arrived. Vulcan 9
The product arrived, together with the plotter there was an assembly manual, and a quick installation guide. The complete guide with all the operations that this plotter can do is missing. How do I get the complete guide to take advantage of all the functions of this article?

B&G - VULCAN 9 FS GPS, 9 inches
For me, the Simrad Go7 was just a bit too small on the 24-foot Tri, and the "Sailsteer", which is particularly useful for sailors, was also missing. So please 1x VULCAN 9 FS The first one was unfortunately defective and was returned The second is a great device, many functions Simple operation, just read through the most important things and try them out, then it works! The device is relatively light and does not have a deep, heavy housing, so it is ideal for rotary bracket mounting. Like the old Simrad, the B&G also has fast and good satellite reception, no additional antenna is necessary on the GRP boat. Like the Simrad, the Vulcan can do something on the back get hot, a gentle breeze to cool down can never hurt Next week on the water and try everything!

Great device!
The installation was easy, installation templates and all necessary material are included. The device itself was already known to me in the smaller version (Vulcan 5). You will see how it works on the boat, but the Sailsteer display is just awesome.

But a few problems
The technology is fine, easy to connect, easy to start.
What I don't like at all is the manual. There are just too many things missing, and it was only after asking the manufacturer that I had the big AHA moment. I'm good with programs, but the whole thing isn't really that intuitive to use, you sometimes have to think outside the box.

Everything fine
Good advice, fast delivery.
Device will not be installed until spring, so none yet
Assessment of functionality. However, there is one
Test report that turned out very well.
Hence the decision to buy this plotter.

B&G Vulcan 9''
Although I have not quite gone through the manual, but the functions are gigantic. Readily install well, very low height when installed in the control panel. The only thing that is miraculous in view of the price of the performance is that the protective cover should be removed with a bd of hands at the notch. It only works with brute force, 4 small protrusions snap into a recess on the device. You have to work all four projections on the protective cover with the file to make it work. (Made in China! Designed in New Zealand)

The manufacturer offers a good product for the water sports sailor. To be able to use all functions, however, some training is necessary. I would wish that there are 9 "and 12" size chartplotters with less features (radar, sonar) that could be offered cheaper. G.Höfig
