The new V2 design features a new button panel, new higher contrast LCD mounted on a soft silicon pad to survive the toughest conditions. A new amber red backlight allows the unit to carry its duty in the night sailings. PC connectivity is now enhanced with the latest generation Bluetooth low energy transceiver (BLE).
• True magnetic tactical compass with “3 levels of sensitivity”.
The NS360 Pocket V2 is a all-in-one multi constellation GPS receiver (GPS+GLONASS+GALILEO+BEIDOU) coupled with a 9 axis gyro gimballed magnetic digital compass. It delivers precise and reliable heading information to help you to tack and jibe at the most suitable times. Through a simple push button, the sub-modes let you decide the required sensitivity (High / Medium / Low) based on your boat, your style, and the current weather conditions.
• GPS speedo and compass.
The over ground speed of the boat as measured by the GPS receiver is provided with several levels of sensitivity (High / Medium / Low). The trip distance, the GPS heading and the maximum speed can also be accessed.
• The easiest count-down timer.
Press the timer button to get the 5 minute sequence started. Press it again, and it will re-synchronize to 4 minutes or 1 minute. You can still adjust it to any minute while counting by using the arrows.
• Waypoints and routes.
The PC Novasail Wireless Manager software combined with the ease of use of Google Earth allows you to manage easily the waypoints and the routes sent wirelessly to your NS360 Pocket V2. Up to 100 Waypoints and 20 routes can be memorized.
• Distance to the start line.
The NS360 Pocket V2 start line distance function combines a highly accurate GPS and a gyro gimballed 9 axis magnetic compass to pinpoint exactly where you are relative to the line. – A +/- sign indicates clearly which side of the line you are.
– Unique bow offset gives the exact distance from your bow to the line.
– Ends can be ‘pinged’ whilst traveling in any direction.
– Boat/pin end buttons: dedicated buttons make storing the start line easy and intuitive.
