Furuno MaxSea Mobile Target Tracking Module (ARPA)

Furuno MaxSea Mobile Target Tracking Module (ARPA)

In addition to all of the features of the MaxSea Software Packages, Furuno allows you to purchase add-on modules to enhance the feature set of the base MaxSea software packages.ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aids) equipped radar is now more affordable than ever, making it a great tool for collision avoidance on both large and small vessels. While these systems produce some wonderful data, they are not always easy to use and can be hard to interpret when displayed on a small yacht-sized radar screen. That's where the MaxSea ARPA module comes in. MaxSea's ARPA module displays targets with a track of each course overlaid on your navigation screen. You can click on a target to find its speed, heading, and TCPA (Time to Closest Point of Approach). For each target, you can also open a data dialog box, which will continually display the latest data about that target. MaxSea can also display the TCPA graphically on your electronic chart. You can give each target an individual name and make notes in the data dialog box. This information, together with the target tracks, can be stored for future reference. MaxSea will mark and record the position, course, and speed for each point of the track of your buoys. If the buoys are equipped with an add-on sensor, temperature will also be recorded. This information allows you to precisely locate buoys and evaluate the distance, time, and fuel necessary to rendezvous with them as well as determine if drift and temperature conditions are favorable. Please note: An appropriate heading sensor is required for use, and an AIS receiver is required to obtain AIS targets.
