Enhanced Cruise Mode
Coastal Explorer 2009 includes a completely redesigned "cruise mode" that
provides quick access to many more functions and the ability to easily create
new screen layouts. These customized arrangements of different types of views
(such as charts, radar, and video) can be used to provide exactly the
information you want, in the format you want, for various tasks such as
cruising, entering a harbor, fishing, docking, or anchoring.
Radar and Video Support for Improved Situational Awareness
Rose Point offers a variety of radar sensors that work with Coastal Explorer
2009 to provide radar images overlaid on the chart as well as in a side-by-side

camera, including network cameras. Now you can monitor your engine room, swim
platform, or aft view on the same display you use for your charts.
