Raymarine E-series wide

There are some things that touch screens are very good at. Planning a route by simply touching the screen at each waypoint, for instance, is simple, quick, and intuitive. But there are times when they can be a real pain – when you’re trying to make fine adjustments to a radar or fishfinder, for instance, on a bouncing boat.

So now Raymarine have revitalised their E-series by combining touchscreen and conventional keypad controls into what they are calling a “hybrid touch” control system in their new widescreen models.

And in keeping with this theme of choice, they’ve broken away from the “any cartography you like so long as it’s Navionics” policy by supplying the E series widescreens with C-Map base maps, and with the software to run C-Map’s new “4D” cartography – due to be introduced later this year.

E-series wide displays are available in three sizes, from the nine-inch E90W, priced at £2639.25 to the fourteen-inch E140W at £4594.25.
