Discover Unmatched Performance on the Water

Imagine commanding your vessel with a display that anticipates your every move—sleek, responsive, and packed with cutting-edge tech tailored for serious anglers and cruisers. The Simrad NSS 4-16 redefines marine electronics, blending a massive 16-inch SolarMax IPS touchscreen with hybrid controls that shine in rough seas or calm waters. Whether you're chasing trophy fish in deep offshore runs or navigating coastal inlets, this all-in-one chartplotter and fishfinder delivers crystal-clear visuals and pinpoint accuracy, powered by a blazing-fast processor that keeps pace with dynamic conditions.

Hybrid Controls for Total Command

No more fumbling with wet gloves or fighting glare—this unit's intuitive trio of touch, rotary dial, and keypad lets you switch seamlessly between chart exploration, sonar tweaks, and quick menu scrolls. Pinch to zoom on intricate bathymetric contours, dial in settings during a bite, or hit dedicated keys for instant access to waypoints. It's like having a co-pilot built into your helm, reducing distraction so you stay locked on the action.

Superior Sonar That Reveals Hidden Secrets

Dive deeper into fishfinding prowess with built-in dual-channel 1kW CHIRP sonar, offering exceptional target separation across low, medium, and high frequencies. Pair it with Active Imaging HD transducers for jaw-dropping detail on structure, bait balls, and wrecks—fish arches pop against hyper-realistic side and downscan imagery up to 1200 kHz CHIRP. Anglers report marking schools in 1000+ feet of water with ease, turning speculative drifts into productive hookups.

Lightning-Fast Processing for Effortless Navigation

At its core, a Qualcomm 8-core processor crushes lag, rendering high-res C-MAP Discover X charts of U.S. waters in seconds. Auto-routing calculates optimal paths around no-go zones, while smooth app switching—from radar overlays to engine data—keeps your focus on the horizon. Customize dashboards to mirror your setup, stacking sonar splits, gauges, and video feeds exactly how you need them.

Seamless Ecosystem Integration

Built for expandability, it syncs effortlessly with HALO radars for horizon-scanning dome or array options, RECON trolling motors for precision station-keeping, and third-party heavyweights like Mercury SmartCraft for vessel vitals. NMEA 2000 connectivity pulls in AIS, autopilot commands (NAC-series compatible), and digital switching via CZone. Wi-Fi and Ethernet ports enable wireless app mirroring, IP camera feeds, and networked sonar modules like S5100 for even more power.

Rugged Reliability in Harsh Conditions

Engineered for the elements, its IPX6/IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off spray and submersion, while 1200+ nit brightness cuts through polarized sunglasses in blinding sun. Wide 80-degree viewing angles ensure crewmates see the same vivid 1920x1080 display from any angle. Operating from -15°C to 55°C, it's ready for northern freezes or tropical heat.

Real-World Edge for Anglers and Cruisers

Sportfishermen love how it overlays CHIRP sonar with C-MAP's high-res bathy and custom Strikelines for proven honey holes. Cruisers appreciate radar fusion for collision avoidance and SiriusXM weather (via module) for storm tracking. Trolling pros pair it with Motorguide or Rhodan motors for spot-on-hold in current. Unlike smaller units, the 16-inch canvas lets you run quad-splits without squinting, ideal for center consoles or sport yachts.
