VesselView can be fully integrated with a vessel’s global positioning system (GPS) or other NMEA‑compatible devices to
provide up‑to‑the‑minute navigation, speed, and fuel‑to‑destination information.
VesselView is a display extension for autopilot and joystick operations. All functionality of these piloting features are controlled
through Mercury Marine's autopilot control area network (CAN) pad. VesselView will show if a mode of control is active or in
standby; pop‑ups will appear as the vessel arrives at waypoints, prompting response to turns. Additional display text can be
used to adjust the engines and drives to achieve maximum efficiency.
VesselView is equipped with a micro SD card port that allows the import or export of the vessel personality configuration. It can
also be used by the owner to upgrade to the latest software version. When more than one VesselView is used, either as a
triple‑engine or quad‑engine application, or a second helm, the same micro SD card can be used to download those
configurations to each VesselView unit.
