Every year, the people at nmeaboater.com (the National Marine Electronics Association) ask manufacturers to name one model in a boating electronics category that they think is their best. It’s not necessarily the most technically advanced or the one with the most bells and whistles, but it is the one that, for a variety of reasons, they put at the top of their line. Here’s the list for multifunction displays:

Simrad NSX

A new mid-range product in the Simrad line of MFDs, the NSX chartplotter/fishfinder redefines the easy-to-use touchscreen experience, while providing powerful new C-MAP charting and navigation with DISCOVER X and REVEAL X charts, true multifunction capability with a sonar, radar and autopilot suite, as well as a simple setup to make boating adventures and navigation more accessible and enjoyable. The versatility and functionality that NSX offers makes it the ideal solution for a wide variety of boaters from novices to veterans and small center consoles to bigger deep-sea fishing boats.

Raymarine Axiom XL 16

The Axiom XL 16 MFD offers superior performance, large format visibility and elegant simplicity. Every model in the Axiom XL lineup uses IPS display technology and optical bonding to deliver wider viewing angles, sharp contrast, and high-performance readability in bright sun. Edge-to-edge glass construction gives vessel designers the ability to create integrated and elegant helms with a sleek, modern appearance. More than just a big MFD, Axiom XL 16 is also a powerful, super-bright HDMI monitor and repeater. It supports HDMI input and output, along with touch control input and output, making integration of other onboard systems easy.

Furuno’s PIN Code lock allows you to require a four-digit password on startup, keeping your data safe against theft. TZtouch3 utilizes Furuno’s award-winning network sensors, such as solid-state Doppler radar, DFF3D multibeam sonar with PBG (Personal Bathymetric Generator), AIS, instruments, engine data, and more.
