Advanced Navigation Features for Safe and Efficient Boating

The Axiom 2 range is packed with advanced navigation features that are designed to enhance safety and efficiency on the water. One of the standout features of the Axiom 2 is its augmented reality (AR) overlays, which provide real-time visual cues overlaid on top of the live video from the chartplotter's camera. This allows boaters to easily identify and avoid potential hazards, such as buoys, navigation markers, and other vessels, improving situational awareness and reducing the risk of accidents.

The Axiom 2 also features advanced 3D mapping capabilities, allowing boaters to view underwater topography and bathymetry in stunning detail. This feature is particularly useful for fishing enthusiasts, as it helps them identify potential fishing hotspots and plan their routes accordingly. The chartplotters also come with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, enabling easy integration with other marine electronics and accessories, such as radar, sonar, and AIS, for a seamless and connected navigation experience.

Robust and Rugged Design for Marine Environment

The Axiom 2 range is built to withstand the harsh marine environment, with a rugged and durable design that can handle the rigors of life on the water. The chartplotters feature a waterproof and dustproof construction, with an IPX6 and IPX7 rating, ensuring they can withstand heavy rain, spray, and even brief immersion in water. The high-definition LCD displays are also optically bonded, reducing glare and improving visibility, even in bright sunlight. This makes the Axiom 2 chartplotters suitable for use in various boating environments, from offshore sailing to coastal cruising and fishing expeditions.
