Unlike traditional Sonar that will only show boaters where they have been, the new ForwardScan Sonar technology provides a clear image of the water column and ocean floor in front of the Boat. ForwardScan alerts boaters to potential dangers, offering complete Navigation confidence and added peace of mind in unfamiliar waters. Designed for boats of every size, the ForwardScan Transducer can be fitted on almost any kind of vessel, preventing you from running Aground.

Navico ForwardScan Sonar rapidly displays bottom imagery up to 8 times the current depth with the normal operating Range usually 4 to 5 times the depth. It also integrates with your on board Simrad NSS evo2, NSO Evo2 or B&G Zeus2 MFDs, on multiple displays simultaneously and via GoFree on a tablet or smartphone.

Operating at 180kHz to reduce interference from traditional 200kHz echo sounders, it transmits and receives up to 10 times faster than previous forward looking systems, providing a real time update.

Shallow water Navigation is made easy as bottom colour tracking provides a simple view of the bottom removing the users need to analyse the data points while delivering a highly visible method of understanding the depth in front of you.

As can be seen in the second image on the right, you can choose the red, yellow and green depth Range based on Boat Draft, as the forward Range scale is synced with the distance of the Heading Line. ForwardScan Heading Line View lets you maximise the Navigation page by combining the ForwardScan depth data into the Heading Line extension.
