Si-Tex Genesis

When was the last time you plotted a course, checked radar,
examined your fish finder, looked at a weather fax and watched
television - all on the same screen? The new Genesis
navigation/
information center from Si-Tex lets you do all this and
more on its 10.4-inch active-matrix color display. Si-Tex built a
C-Map-based chart plotter into the basic package, and optional
sensors can be added to display fish-finder views, GPS/DGPS
information, electronic compass
readings, weather fax data and
radar images. The Genesis system can overlay the radar image on a
chart, show radar and chart information side by side, mix
combinations of other types of information in separate
windows and
still inset a TV image in the corner of the screen. Expect to pay
around $2,500 for the basic chart-plotter package. Contact Si-Tex
