Simrad NSO evo3S MPU Dual 19 System
Simrad NSO evo3S MPU Dual 19 System — Product description
Top-of-the-line Simrad glass bridge display. The 19-inch NSO evo3S puts a massive, sharp, sunlight-readable chart in front of the helm with C-MAP charts preloaded, C-MAP Insight integration, and the full Simrad marine networking ecosystem behind it.
The Simrad NSO evo3S (MPN 000-15122-001) is a MPU Dual 19-inch system that sits at the top of Simrad's flagship marine display line. The 19-inch display is the largest Simrad offers in this product family, sized for serious cruising and commercial bridges where the chart needs to be readable at a glance from anywhere at the helm. The screen is sunlight-readable, full-HD resolution, multi-touch capable, and edge-to-edge glass for a clean glass-bridge install. Simrad C-MAP charts come preloaded covering coastal North American waters with current chart data and the C-MAP Insight community-sourced point-of-interest layer built in.
What this display delivers. Sharp, immediate chart visibility at long glance distance from anywhere on the bridge. Full multi-touch zoom and pan that feels like a modern tablet, not a MFD from a decade ago. Split-screen capability that lets you run chart plus sonar, chart plus radar, chart plus engine data, or any other combination side-by-side without losing legibility on either pane. For owners running a complete Simrad marine electronics ecosystem (radar, sonar, autopilot, engine integration, AIS, weather), the NSO evo3S is the bridge display that ties it all together.
Why this size. For boats in the 50-foot+ range with a serious cruising helm, the 19-inch display isn't oversized - it's right-sized. At normal helm seating distances, a smaller display forces you to lean forward to read chart details. The NSO evo3S stays readable from anywhere at the helm, which means you can plan ahead, scan for hazards, and stay aware of your situation without breaking your normal driving posture. For cruising owners who spend long hours at the helm, the difference in fatigue level between a 9-inch display and a 19-inch display is substantial.
Simrad C-MAP charts. Preloaded charts cover coastal North American waters with the current Simrad C-MAP data set, including bathymetry, navaids, marina detail, points of interest, C-MAP Insight reviews and tips, and integrated tide and current information. The C-MAP data is updated regularly through Simrad's chart update service for owners who maintain a subscription. For waters outside the preloaded region, additional Simrad chart products are available as SD card add-ons.
C-MAP Insight integration. The Simrad C-MAP Insight ecosystem layers community-sourced data over the chart: marina reviews, anchorage notes, hazard warnings, fuel prices, and similar crowdsourced cruising knowledge. For owners cruising unfamiliar waters or planning long passages, C-MAP Insight is a genuinely useful information layer that supplements the official chart data with operational know-how from other cruisers.
Network integration. The NSO evo3S supports Simrad NMEA 2000 Network connectivity for full integration with Simrad radar (Halo series), sonar (ForwardScan, DownScan, SideScan, Active Imaging, Active Imaging 3-in-1), autopilot (NAC, Force trolling motor integration), AIS receivers/transponders, engine data through NMEA 2000, weather receivers, and the full ecosystem of compatible Simrad marine electronics. For owners building a complete Simrad glass bridge, the NSO evo3S is the centerpiece display.
Installation. The 19-inch display is a significant install. Plan flush mount in the helm or dash with proper structural support behind the cutout, professional cable runs for power and network, and integration with the boat's electrical and grounding systems. The work is straightforward for a marine electronics installer but not a casual DIY project unless you have experience with large flush-mount installs. Professional install protects warranty coverage and ensures proper performance.
Why pay this much. The NSO evo3S is the top of the Simrad MFD line, and that position commands a premium over smaller displays in the same family. The premium pays for the display size, the resolution, the brightness for sunlight readability, the glass-bridge build quality, and the integration with the full Simrad ecosystem. For owners who are committed to Simrad and want the largest, brightest, sharpest display in the line, the NSO evo3S is the answer. For owners with smaller boats or simpler requirements, the smaller NSO displays serve well at much lower cost.

Frequently asked questions
Why a 19-inch display?
For boats in the 50-foot+ range with serious cruising helms, the 19-inch display is right-sized rather than oversized. At normal helm seating distances, smaller displays force you to lean forward to read chart details. The NSO evo3S stays readable from anywhere at the helm. For long cruising days the readability difference reduces fatigue significantly.
What's included in the C-MAP preload?
Coastal North American waters with current Simrad C-MAP data: bathymetry, navaids, marina detail, points of interest, C-MAP Insight community layer, tides and currents. For waters outside the preloaded region, additional Simrad chart products are available as SD card add-ons. The C-MAP data is updated through Simrad's chart update service for owners maintaining a subscription.
Does it work with non-Simrad marine electronics?
Standard data (NMEA 2000 engine data, AIS, basic instruments) integrates fine with non-Simrad sources. For deep integration (chart-radar overlay, full sonar control, autopilot integration), the system is built for the Simrad marine ecosystem and works best with other Simrad components. Mixed-brand installs are possible but lose some integration.
Can I install it myself?
Possible but not recommended for first-time large-display installers. The 19-inch flush mount requires proper structural support, careful cutout, professional cable routing, and electrical integration. Plan a marine electronics installer day. Professional install protects warranty coverage and ensures the display performs as designed.
How does the multi-touch work?
Multi-touch zoom and pan feel like a modern tablet. You can pinch to zoom on the chart, swipe to pan, tap to select waypoints or AIS targets, and use standard multi-touch gestures for navigation. The touchscreen is responsive and rated for marine use including wet hands and bright sunlight.
Will it work in direct sunlight?
Yes. The display is sunlight-readable with high-brightness backlighting and anti-reflective coating. Even in bright direct sunlight at sea, the chart remains clearly visible. Brightness is auto-adjusting or manually controllable depending on operator preference.
What's the difference between NSO evo3S and 9223?
Primarily display size. The 9223 is the 23-inch variant, the NSO evo3S is the 19-inch. Internal electronics and software are similar. The right choice depends on helm size, viewing distance, and budget. For most serious cruising helms, the NSO evo3S is worth the upgrade over the 9223 because viewing distance from typical helm seating favors the larger display.
How does it compare to other premium glass-bridge displays?
Both are premium glass-bridge displays in the same product class. The choice depends on the rest of your marine electronics ecosystem. If you have Simrad radar, sonar, and autopilot, the NSO evo3S is the natural choice. If you have a competing brand ecosystem, the Axiom XL is the natural choice. Cross-brand installs are possible but lose some integration features.
Is the chart update subscription required?
Not required for basic operation - the preloaded charts work indefinitely without subscription. The chart update service provides ongoing updates to the C-MAP data as Simrad issues new chart releases. For owners cruising waters where chart data changes (dredged channels, new marina developments, hazard updates), the subscription is worthwhile. For owners cruising stable waters with infrequent chart changes, the preloaded charts serve fine without renewal.
Does it record routes and tracks?
Yes. Standard MFD functionality including route planning, waypoint management, track recording, and the ability to overlay your historical tracks on the chart. For long cruising voyages, the track history is useful for documenting where you've been and for recalling favorite anchorages or routes.
What's the warranty?
Simrad standard warranty applies. The marine displays are built for the marine duty cycle and Simrad's warranty service is mature for the marine product line.
Will it integrate with my existing autopilot?
If the autopilot is a current Simrad NAC or compatible, integration is full bridge-and-autopilot control through the NSO evo3S. For autopilots from other manufacturers, NMEA 2000 standard integration works for basic course/heading commands. Full integration features (route following, waypoint-to-waypoint sequencing) work best with Simrad autopilots in the matched ecosystem.
