Touch SensibleTM Technology
Developed specifically for the marine environment, Touch SensibleTM technology is the combination of touchscreen, keypad, and super-smooth rotary controller. This perfect blend allows the NSS8 Sport to deliver unrivalled performance of every function with the simple touch of a finger in any sea state.
Powerfully Fast Charting
The NSS8 Sport is a fast and efficient chartplotter. Panning the charts, marking waypoints, or building routes are easy with the touchscreen, whilst the smooth rotary controller enables ultra-fast zooming.
Expandable
The NSS8 Sport is 100% compatible and networks effortlessly with every Simrad Performance Module including the award-winning Broadband RadarTM, StructureScanTM and SonicHubTM. It can also be integrated with NSE and NSO systems for the ultimate in flexibility.
Full Control And Integration
Not only is the NSS8 Sport an outstanding chartplotter and fish finder, it's a complete command centre. Monitor your engine, steer your autopilot, turn on your bait well or bilge pump, or even set mood lighting – it's all a touch simpler with the NSS Sport.
