Advanced Display Technology
Crystal-Clear IPS Display Performance
The Axiom+ 12 RV features a premium 12.1-inch IPS (In-Plane Switching) display with WXGA resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) that delivers exceptional clarity in all lighting conditions. With 25% more brightness than previous generations, reaching up to 1,800 nits, this marine display ensures optimal visibility from dawn to dusk. The 88-degree viewing angle in all directions provides clear chart visibility for multiple crew members simultaneously.
HydroTough Marine Protection
Built to withstand harsh marine environments, the display features HydroTough nano-coated, impact-resistant glass that actively repels water, oil, and smudges. The IPX6/IPX7 waterproof rating ensures reliable operation in heavy spray and rain conditions, while the multitouch interface maintains accurate control even when wet - a critical feature for active fishing and boating operations.
Comprehensive CHIRP Sonar Technology
RealVision 3D Sonar System
The Axiom+ 12 RV integrates four advanced sonar technologies for complete underwater awareness:
- High Frequency CHIRP Sonar - Delivers precise fish targeting and bottom density analysis up to 900 feet depth
- CHIRP DownVision - Provides high-definition imagery of structure, fish habitat, and underwater objects to 600 feet
- CHIRP SideVision - Scans beyond casting distance to reveal fish, structure, and submerged objects up to 300 feet on each side
- RealVision 3D - Creates gyro-stabilized, GPS-locked three-dimensional bathymetric models of the underwater environment
The 25-pin RealVision connector supports external transducers for enhanced sonar performance and expanded coverage options.
Professional Navigation Features
Integrated GPS/GNSS Positioning
The built-in high-performance 10Hz GPS/GNSS receiver provides 4x increased sensitivity compared to standard marine GPS units, ensuring accurate positioning even in challenging conditions. The system supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite constellations for maximum reliability and precision.
Navionics+ Chart Coverage
Pre-loaded with comprehensive Navionics+ USA and Coastal Canada charts, providing detailed bathymetric data, marina information, tide and current data, and navigational hazards. The system also supports LightHouse Vector and Raster charts, plus C-MAP compatibility for maximum chart flexibility.
