NSE Network Navigation System
Built to withstand the toughest conditions, the Simrad NSE “Northstar Edition” Multi-function Displays are stunningly fast, full-function chartplotters right out of the box, supplied pre-loaded with HD Insight (USA only) cartography. Available in 8" or 12" sizes with a lightning-fast 1.6GHz processor, high-bright, LED backlit, bonded LCD, alpha-numeric and QuickTouch direct access keys, and a fresh, yet familiar intuitive user interface yield exemplary performance and practical design. But that's just the beginning, as the Simrad NSE Multi-function devices let you add a wide range of high-performance modules and transducers to extend their capabilities to include echo sounder/fishfinder, radar display (both HD and Broadband BR24), AIS transceiver, engine performance display and much more, all accessible from a single screen (additional screens can be added as required) and displayed in the format and combination of your choice. And it's all easy to install thanks to its SimNet/NMEA2000 compatibility—just plug in the new unit and the NSE will recognize and configure it automatically.

Comments about Simrad NSE Network Navigation System:
The brightest display I've seen in a multifunction display. The rotary control knob makes navigating menus and zooming very easy, the alphanumeric keypad makes labeling very easy. Front USB port allows for easy transfer or saving of data. The NSE has a very large hard drive so it will store an outrageous amount of waypoints, routes and tracks. I currently have over 1500 waypoints, 132 routes and about 30 tracks all saved. Lots of options to customize such as selecting different colors for routes or track lines. The sounder works excellent, the radar is great and the MARPA feature works very well. Zooming and chart redraw are is also very fast. The biggest downside is that there is currently no option for the vessel's extension line to indicate COG, only heading which if in strong currents does not accurately show your course. The other downside is the front bezel that snaps into place comes off every time the cover is removed. Not a very tight fit but I understand this is being addressed.
Overall its an outstanding multifunction display that is easy to see and easy to use.
