Award-winning sailing features

slowly & useless
Very slowly. User interface is complicated and useless. Previous Zeus Touch 7 had much better interface. The reaction is practically the same. May be that is time to change vendor from B&G.
I disappointed B&G products. Glossy screen is bad seen at sun.

Hi Miguel, when you connect the Radar to Zeus 3, from Zeus 3 to Vulcan by Ethernet, you can share the Radar on to both devices. A card sharing and else is not possible in this "Ethernet"-constellation. if you connect two Zeus3 and Radar (ideally over NEP-2) you can share Radar and chart and some other features more between the devices (NMEA2000-connected necessary anyway)....so in the second constellation you do not loose something, you win
