B&G VULCAN 5 FS Chartplotter

Overview

The B&G Vulcan5 Display is a powerful all-in-one Chart plotter and depth sounder for small-mid sized sail boats. Vulcan5 incorporates B&G’s forward looking collision avoidance sonar technology for safe passage making in areas where chart accuracy is uncertain. Vulcan5 will also connect to advanced B&G sailing instruments and autopilot systems for a fully integrated electronics package.

No physical buttons and low profile mounting makes Vulcan5 one of the cleanest and most integrated looking navigation device for aftermarket installs. Combine this with an extensive set of sailing software features inherited from its bigger brother, the Zeus2, and the Vulcan5 is the go-to standalone navigation display for the aspiring sailor.
