marketplace. We’ll try not to leave any product off the list
if it has relevance to trawler owners, but the real problem
is that today’s compressed development and release
patterns make it difficult for most manufacturers to say for
certain what they will be bringing to market six months
from now. As always, as new products are announced,
PMM will report on them.
THE BIG FOUR
Beginning with the Big Four—Furuno, Garmin, Navico,
and Raymarine—the freshest concept involves the
integration of night vision into a vessel’s electronics suite.
Anyone who followed our coverage of FLIR’s acquisition
of Raymarine would have heard that thermal imaging is a
big part of Raymarine’s future. The irony is that Furuno
got there first because of a pre-acquisition deal with FLIR.
Thumb back to the image on page 40. That screenshot
demonstrates—better than I could explain—how thermal
imaging has been integrated into navigation software by
Furuno partner MaxSea. Furuno’s thermal cameras say
“FLIR” on them, while Raymarine’s imagers have been
relabeled “Raymarine.” On its E-Series touch-screen
displays, Raymarine lets the navigator aim the thermal
camera using the “Hybrid Touch” feature. G-Series owners
can control the cameras using the display’s remote
keyboard. An optional joystick control will work with
either system.
FLIR, for its part, has unveiled new T-Series thermal
imagers to work with these systems, and there are four of
them ranging in price from $8,995 to $19,995, depending
on resolution and whether the unit includes a low-light
camera in addition to the thermal imager. For those who
want thermal imaging but cannot afford those prices, the
