Always at the cutting edge of innovation, Standard Horizon has just launched the CPN700i and CPN1010i chart plotters, a new generation of touchscreen 7-inch and 10-inch full colour models with internal antennas, and packed with some innovative features.

Perhaps the most versatile advance is that both models are the first ever to have built in Wi-Fi, allowing the navigator to access the internet and email when moored in a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Movies and music can also be downloaded and played thanks to included Windows Media Player software and a USB port for a memory stick, whilst the plotters’ built-in front speakers are expandable via an audio port on the back to add a separate amplifier.

Marine electronics specialist Scanstrut Ltd will be launching an exciting new product at this year’s METS event – the innovative Waterproof iPad Case. Developed in response to evolving demands from marine professionals and boating enthusiasts, the Waterproof iPad Case is expected to be a big hit at METS and beyond.
 
Already shortlisted for a DAME Award, the Waterproof iPad Case was designed because of the increasing number of boat owners that take iPads to sea in order to use them with chartplotters, propulsion systems and on board entertainment.

It is a fully IP66/IP67 waterproof and shockproof enclosure, with models available to fit both the iPad 1 and iPad 2.

Full touchscreen usability is available at all times, as are volume, on/off and home buttons, and both front and rear camera functionality is provided for the iPad 2.

For all those boat owners who want to keep a watchful eye over their big toys, Patex (UK) Ltd has just launched a brand new system that allows you to do just that.

Patex (UK) Ltd has over 10 years' experience designing and installing CCTV systems for applications where cables just won’t work.

These systems have been installed on a variety of different sized luxury Super & Mega yachts.

Applications include:
Security and Surveillance
Inspection
Entertainment
