B&G Vulcan 7 R Chartplotter/Fishfinder Display Product Description
Discover Seamless Sailing with Advanced Chartplotting Power
Imagine gliding through coastal waters or chasing the starting line in a club race, with every tack and gybe informed by precise data overlays and intelligent routing. The B&G Vulcan 7R transforms this vision into reality for sailors who demand reliability without complexity. This 7-inch powerhouse combines chartplotting, fishfinding, and radar display capabilities into one intuitive package, tailored specifically for the nuances of sailboats—from wind shifts to tidal streams.
Crafted for those who live for the water, it stands out by blending rugged marine toughness with tablet-like ease. Whether you're plotting a sunset cruise or optimizing your race strategy, its dedicated sailing tools help you make smarter decisions, faster.
Intuitive Touchscreen for Effortless Control
Navigating rough seas or plotting routes mid-maneuver shouldn't feel like a chore. The Vulcan 7R's vibrant 7-inch multi-touch display responds to pinches, swipes, and taps just like your smartphone, even under direct sunlight or spray. With 1200 nits of brightness and wide viewing angles, critical info stays visible from any helm position.
Drop waypoints with a finger, zoom into hazards, or overlay instrument data—all without fumbling for buttons. It's designed to keep your focus on sailing, not the screen.
Sailing-Optimized Features That Give You the Edge
What sets the Vulcan 7R apart for sailors? Exclusive B&G innovations like SailSteer, which graphically displays laylines, wind shifts, boat speed, and tide effects on your chart. Visualize the perfect tack angle or arrival time at the next mark, accounting for real-world sailing physics—not just straight-line guesses.
- SailSteer: Overlay wind data, heading, and laylines for tactical precision during races or long passages.
- RacePanel: Consolidate start lines, countdowns, and wind sectors into one customizable view.
- SailingTime: Accurate ETA calculations that factor in polars, tides, and your boat's performance.
- Laylines: Dynamic lines showing optimal upwind/downwind paths, adjustable for true or apparent wind.
These aren't gimmicks—they're proven tools trusted by competitive sailors worldwide, helping you shave seconds off race times or arrive safely ahead of the fleet.
Superior Charting and Routing for Confident Navigation
Stay ahead of shallow patches and busy channels with updated C-MAP Easy Routing and Navionics Autorouting. Input your boat's draft, beam, and height, and it plots the safest path around obstacles—dock-to-dock, automatically. The enhanced C-MAP Navigation Palette sharpens near-shore details, distinguishing channels, ledges, and drop-offs at a glance.
Compatible with premium charts like Insight, Navionics Gold/Platinum+, C-MAP MAX-N+, and NV Digital raster charts, it supports high-res bathymetry, custom shading, tides, and currents. Pair with ForwardScan for real-time ahead-depth scanning in uncharted areas, turning unknowns into confidence.
Expand Your System Without the Hassle
Built for growth, the Vulcan 7R slots into existing setups via NMEA 2000, making it a breeze to add instruments, sensors, or broadband radar. Control your B&G autopilot directly from the touchscreen—engage auto, wind modes, or Smart Maneuver for effortless tacks and gybes.
- 10Hz GPS for pinpoint positioning (3m accuracy) with WAAS/EGNOS support.
- Integrated Wi-Fi for weather overlays (GRIB files), screen mirroring to phones/tablets, or hotspot connectivity.
- Radar-ready for Halo, Broadband 3G/4G—spot squalls or traffic from miles away.
- CHIRP/DownScan sonar compatibility for fishfinding or bottom mapping.
Flush-mount it for a sleek glass helm (just 8mm proud) or use the bracket for flexible positioning. IPX7 waterproofing and -15°C to +55°C operation handle any condition.
