The Northstar M84 comes with a 32MB card that provides background charts. The system is also packaged with an SD card that provides land details, port information, as well as other navigational aids. You also don't have to worry about being caught off guard by nasty weather when using
the Northstar M84. The unit features a digital radar system which allows you to monitor weather conditions that can lead to potential sea hazards.
The Northstar M84 is equipped with an eight inch display to display GPS, radar, and sonar data. The high resolution display is also easy to view during sunny conditions. The Northstar M84 can also display information from registered vessels on the chartplotter screen. You will need to connect the optional automatic identification system receivers in order to use this feature.
This navigation system is also equipped with a 1kW sounder. You won't even have to use a separate processor thanks to the fact that the sounder will automatically adjust its output power to match that of your transducer. You simply have to plug your own transducer into the Northstar M84 and it's ready to go.
The Northstar M84 navigation system can also provide you with fuel management. The system will display your engine's performance data whenever you want.

Another nice feature of the Northstar M84 is the PAL/NTSC video port. This allows you to connect display video from a DVD player or video camera. You can use a camera to monitor the deck, engine room, or anywhere else you choose. You will need to use a separate audio system with the Northstar M84 if you want to listen to sound too.
