The NSO evo3 can be connected to Simrad premium network modules and add GPS, autopilot, keypad controllers and other accessories to create a vessel-wide system.

“From the new design and the brightest screens to the most powerful processor and advanced networking capabilities, the NSO evo3 is the perfect starting point for customising a vessel-wide system,” said Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico.

Product features

NSO evo3 includes a true, high-definition display that puts a user in control of on-board electronics through an easy-to-use touchscreen interface.

The display is powered by a high-performance iMX6 quad-core processor that takes responsiveness to a new level with quicker chart redraws.

NSO evo3 can power current Simrad system technology like Halo Pulse Compression Radar, the S5100 CHIRP sounder module, ForwardScan forward-looking sonar and StructureScan 3D sonar imaging, with power to spare.

The NSO evo3 can connect to smartphones, tablets and internet hotspots with integrated wireless connectivity, features advanced networking – including HMDI input/output, OP50 support, plus direct connection and control of audio, autopilot and NMEA 2000 and J1939 engines.

NSO evo3 displays can also be purchased as part of a system kit, which comes with everything needed to build a glass helm system, including a GPS antenna, chart card reader, NMEA 2000 Starter Kit and OP50 Remote Controller.

The OP50 provides keypad control of up to six separate displays, perfect for a multi-display helm layout.

The kit is available from authorised dealers and distributors throughout the United States and Canada.
