VOLVO GLASS COCKPIT SERIES
Glass Cockpit now offers Garmin’s 76 series of multi-function displays (MFD) in sizes from 7 to 24-inches. “This is a tremendous simplification for the boat builder as well as the end-user,” adds Carlsson. The all-in-one design removes the need for black boxes, extra monitors and external antennas. “With Glass Cockpit you have access to everything that you need to know about the boat displayed on the screens in front of you – the status, the alarm, which functions are on or off, and features such as Autopilot.” “While developing the Glass Cockpit system, we had our goal ‘easy boating’ constantly in mind,” says Stefan Carlsson, head of Volvo Penta’s Marine Diesel segment.
