A few anglers may have glimpsed Geonav’s G12 Multi-Function Display (pictured here) at the Fort Lauderdale boat show in late October. That was the brand’s debut to the American public. But the company gave editors a closer look in December at several of Geonav’s offerings, including radar, autopilot and sonar. This G12 display shows a triple-pane view – C-Map vector charting (left) with 50-channel GPS positioning, HD Ethernet Radar (top right) and XD sonar (bottom right.) For more information about Geonav, see related posts by Bonnier senior electronics editor Ben Ellison at panbo.com.

When an angler chooses to run C-Map cartography, he can look at two formats side-by-side: a vector chart on the left and raster on the right.

Geonav calls that carousel of screen displays HaloView rotation. The ability to see rotating miniatures of the screen types is a visual clue that makes choosing seem easier.

Shallow water doesn’t provide optimal conditions to compare varying sonar signals for fishing applications, but this image of the dual-transceiver XD sonar illustrates a horizontal split-screen mode with 50 kHz on top and 200 kHz below.
