Does this Vulcan 12R come with a radar dome?
Yes. This version is supplied with a B&G Broadband 3G Radar dome, giving you collision avoidance and weather tracking out of the box. Broadband radar is low power and safe to use near people, with crisp short-range detail.
What is the difference between the Vulcan R and FS models?
The R models such as this Vulcan 12R are radar chartplotters that drive a B&G radar dome over a dedicated Ethernet port. The FS models focus on a built-in fishfinder and ForwardScan instead. The 12R also has an integrated CHIRP, DownScan and ForwardScan echosounder.
Which charts does the Vulcan 12R support?
It supports C-MAP MAX-N and MAX-N+, Navionics Gold, Platinum+ and Navionics+, Insight and Insight Genesis, plus selected third-party charts. Charts load via the two microSD card slots.
Does the Vulcan 12R support sonar and a transducer?
Yes. The 12R has a built-in CHIRP, DownScan and ForwardScan echosounder using a single 9-pin XSonic connector. Add a transducer to suit your hull. A transducer is not included.
Does the Vulcan 12R have Wi-Fi and NMEA 2000?
Yes. Built-in Wi-Fi supports GoFree, wireless updates and phone or tablet control, while a single NMEA 2000 port integrates B&G instruments, sensors, AIS and a compatible autopilot.
