MARKETPLACE NEW HD STRUCTURESCAN RotoKey. This new navigation suite is a component-based system that utilizes Furuno's award-winning network products. The brains of the NavNet TZtouch system are based in its multi-function Display (MFD) units that feature the latest high-performance, Intel Sandy Bridge dual-core processors. A 9in WVGA or 14.1in WXGA multi-touch display is available depending on vessel size and need, and utilises a variety of components can be added. Navico has announced the launch of its next-generation sonar imaging system, the LSS-2 StructureScan® HD. Compatible with Simrad NSS, NSE and NSO multifunction displays, the StructureScan HD sonar imaging module is said to offer a new dimension in underwater, picture-like displays for more productive fishing, diving, and search and recovery. Based on the innovation of the world's first and only true DownScan Imaging™ technology, combined with side-scan imaging, StructureScan HD includes an enhanced transducer design that features three dedicated signals for best-in-class crisp, clear views to the left, right and directly beneath your boat. The full-panoramic, picture-like returns are now even more impressive with sharper images of structure, fish, thermoclines and more. The new StructureScan HD system also delivers a significant increase in side-scanning range capability. With the original StructureScan model, boaters and anglers have to choose between side-scanning farther with less detail, or scanning with less range to achieve greater detail. Now, with StructureScan HD, users will experience greater side-scanning range with no loss in resolution. That means anglers and boats can cover more water faster, saving time and fuel while searching for productive areas for fishing, diving search and recover, and more. The StructureScan HD sonar imaging module is protected by a two-year limited warranty, and backed by the five-year Advantage Service programme. The StructureScan HD sonar imaging module is available from April.
