On board entertainment and more from chart plotters

A chartplotter becomes a multifunctional display (MFD) with FLIR’s new LightHouse apps – which include Spotify for Music and Netflix for onboard entertainment.

The Apps are an exciting new way to expand the power and capabilities of a Raymarine Axiom multifunction display delivering:

• Onboard Entertainment
• Access to Communication and Data Services
• Connectivity and Integration with Leading Marine Technology Partners

With LightHouse Apps, Raymarine is making it easy for marine manufacturers, technology providers, and app developers to integrate with Axiom and the LightHouse 3 OS. Note LightHouse Apps are only available on Axiom MFDs. eS and gS Series MFDs running LightHouse 3 are not compatible with LightHouse App

FLIR is pleased to announce LightHouse version 3.4, the latest free update to Raymarine’s LightHouse 3 OS software system.

Laden with upgrades and enhancements, LightHouse version 3.4 brings to your helm functions and digital services previously reserved for mobile phones and your living room.

Key enhancements provided by LightHouse version 3.4:
