Northstar 972 Chartplotter

Powerful integrated system with pre-loaded raster and vector charts.

Multi-talented
Northstar's 972 literally offers you the world at your fingertips in more variations and detail than you thought possible.

Now you can use raster and vector charts on the same display! This is made possible with a powerful combination of Northstar software and Nobeltec's Passport OnBoard charting and imaging, for unbeatable flexibility and performance.

Think of the possibilities Northstar's 972 offers: Leading-edge GPS raster
and vector charting; 3-D bathymetrics; satellite photos; radar; sounder; and
video - each optimized for your boat. The 972's 15-inch display allows you to
use each function in great detail, or use the “split” screen option to view 2, 3
or 4 images at once.

Passport OnBoard is a new and unique way to obtain chart data for the 972 by eliminating the need for storing and keeping track of individual chart cartridges.

With Passport OnBoard, Nobeltec Passport charts of the entire world are pre-loaded and stored right inside the 972. No more swapping chart chips in and out of your plotter. When you need a chart for a new area, simply call the Passport OnBoard Chart Center to purchase an unlock code for instant access to detailed charts for any destination.

With the Northstar 972, the possibilities are yours to explore. Whether you use your boat to fish, cruise, sail or work, the 972 provides the information and control you need instantly. It’s the kind of incredibly fast and user–friendly experience that you’d expect from any Northstar device with one significant addition–raster and vector charting on the same display.
