Raymarine’s new Element S is a series of bright, high-contrast, high-performance displays especially developed for cruisers and sailors.

With a superior all-weather display, best-in-class speed, easy operation and confidence-inspiring GPS navigation, Element S is the perfect, cost-effective MFD for those who don’t need a sophisticated sonar.

Available in 7-, 9- and 12-inch display models, Element S boasts a 64-bit quad-core processor. A built-in 10Hz GPS sensor supports Raymarine’s LightHouse NC2, Navionics and C-MAP cartography. Element S also interfaces with Raymarine’s Quantum wireless CHIRP radar or an AIS receiver.

Menus are uncomplicated and the keypad controls intuitive. Three user-programmable quick keys provide instant access to favourite pages, while marking up to 5,000 waypoints in 200 different groups, plus 50 routes and 15 tracks, is easy with an oversized waypoint button.

Integrated single-channel, high CHIRP sonar, useful up to 300m, is standard, while RealBathy contour generation can map uncharted areas in real time.

In addition, Element S models integrate with autopilot and VHF DSC via NMEA 2000, also displaying sailing instruments, engine data and tank levels.
