![]() Coupled with the Volvo Penta Autopilot, the Auto Guidance will not only show the way, it will actually take the boat there! By searching through all relevant nautical charts, it creates a route that guides the driver to avoid shallow water, buoys and other obstacles. The unique Auto Guidance is one example of the many extremely useful features in the Glass Cockpit System. All settings that are made, including instrument dimming, are carried out concurrently at the helm and the flybridge. It also means that when the boat is powered up, all screens lit up simultaneously, in a car-like manner. That means that all Volvo Penta’s Easy Boating options such as Dynamic Positioning System, Interceptors and Autopilot can be monitored and controlled through the displays. The Glass Cockpit system is fully integrated with the Electronic Vessel Control (EVC), Volvo Penta’s unique electronic platform. The screens are available in different sizes from 8 to 19”. Depending on boat type and size, one or more displays can be mounted on the dashboard. The driver decides what functions should be displayed on the screens and how they should be distributed. The displays are easy and intuitive to handle, with touch and pinch-to-zoom functionality. It also provides a cleaner dashboard, which makes it easier for the driver to concentrate on what’s important at the moment. The result is obvious greatly enhanced overview and control of both navigation and engine – all in one place. It enables a common, ergonomic design – and interface – for the whole dashboard, with push-buttons on the controls and touch-buttons on the screens. The new Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System is an all-integrated control and monitoring system that gathers all driver information – including warnings and alarms – and displays it on a fixed point in the boat on one or more, high-tech displays.
