| Use a single computer to display Admiral on up to seven monitors. Use the View Manager to easily configure each display, making it easy to know exactly what's going on around your vessel. Configure each screen to your exact specification for a larger viewing area. For example, using one computer and three computer displays you can view a traditional electronic chart on one screen, a Passport Bathy Map on a second and Radar Overlay on a third. |
|
 |
|
Multiple computers with Admiral can now work together to create a complete navigation network, providing you with reliability, redundancy and power! The GlassBridge networking solution allows instant sharing of NMEA data , radar overlay, nav objects and even Passport Charts between all computers on the network. Bring a "planning" laptop from home and connect to an onboard network. Configure multiple computers and only install charts once!

The InSight Radar box is a powerful device that captures the radar image from an installed radar antenna and display converting the standard analog signal to digital. It operates as a Slave to the existing display. The Slave mode has all common radar controls, such as Range, Gain, Sea Clutter and more. With 256 colors and a radar resolution as high as 1024x1024, the InSight Radar Box gives you higher resolution and greater confidence. |

|
| For real-time GPS tracking, Nobeltec Admiral is compatible with any GPS that outputs the standard NMEA 0183 data sentence. Admiral is also compatible with more brands of GPS for upload and download transfers than any other marine navigation software program. |
