B&G Vulcan 9-FS Chartplotter

The device is packed with sailing features, including B&G’s award-winning SailSteer™, which allows sailors to see all key information at a glance. SailSteer allows sailors to conveniently view crucial information on its own screen or, alternatively, simultaneously with your position on the chart screen.

You can add a Navicon StructureScan transducer to Vulcan9 to get award-winning side-scan capabilities. The device also supports the new ForwardScan transducers!

All information is displayed relative to the user’s boat and can be displayed alongside chart, radar and other function pages. The user-configurable SailSteer window includes the following information: heading and COG, current tack, calculated tide, true wind angle indicator, rudder angle indicator and opposite tack tack. Navigation information has also been enhanced to include the active waypoint, Mag/True tack reference and magnetic deviation. SailSteer also includes a compass scale that provides true wind direction, tide information, opposite tack heading and bearing to the waypoint
