Next-generation chartplotter delivers speed, precision, and smart sailing modes
B&G®, the world’s leading sailing electronics manufacturer, has introduced the Zeus® SR, a state-of-the-art chartplotter designed to revolutionise navigation for both cruisers and competitive sailors. Unveiled last week at the Miami International Boat Show, the Zeus SR is set to make its New Zealand debut at the Auckland Boat Show, giving Kiwi sailors the first opportunity to experience its lightning-fast performance, intuitive interface, and advanced sailing features.
Available in 10, 12, and 16-inch models, the Zeus SR range starts at approximately $4,900 NZD, reflecting its premium technology and extensive feature set.
Unparalleled speed and seamless navigation
At the heart of the Zeus SR is its Qualcomm® 8-core processor, delivering blazing-fast responsiveness. Switching between apps is instantaneous, ensuring sailors can access critical information without lag. Paired with a redesigned user interface, navigating menus and adjusting settings has never been smoother.
This powerhouse processor also revolutionises charting, making zooming, panning, and waypoint plotting on C-MAP DISCOVER® X and REVEAL® X charts more fluid than ever before. Sailors benefit from pinpoint accuracy, sharp resolution, and real-time updates that enhance both safety and ease of navigation.
Tailored sailing modes for every adventure
The Zeus SR introduces three dedicated sailing modes, allowing users to optimise their interface based on activity:
- Cruising Mode – Simplifies data displays for relaxed passage-making while retaining B&G’s award-winning navigation tools.
- Race Mode – Provides instant access to performance-driven features like LayLines, SailSteer™, race routes, and start-line management, giving competitive sailors an edge on the course.
- Anchor Mode – Ensures peace of mind when mooring, helping prevent grounding at low tide with precise depth monitoring and alerts.
Safety and connectivity at the helm
Safety remains a top priority with the Zeus SR’s advanced C-MAP-powered Safety Alerts. This feature automatically warns sailors of upcoming hazards, from shallow waters to navigational buoys, ensuring a safer and more informed passage.
Connectivity is another standout aspect of the Zeus SR, with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and NMEA 2000® networking ensuring seamless integration across a vessel’s electronic systems. The unit is fully compatible with B&G HALO® radars, autopilots, wind sensors, and Triton2 & Nemesis® instruments, making it a true sailing powerhouse.
Additional highlights include:
✅ SolarMAX™ IPS touchscreen, delivering crystal-clear readability—even with polarised sunglasses.
✅ Full IP video camera support, allowing real-time monitoring of onboard systems.
✅ B&G App integration, with 12 months of premium access included when registering a C-MAP X Chart.
