Northstar Debuts Sirius Weather on Advanced 6100i

Brunswick New Technologies Marine Electronics (BNT ME), a leading designer and manufacturer of world-class marine electronics marketed under the Navman, Northstar and MX Marine brands, recently announced its partnership with Sirius Marine Radio to deliver real-time, graphical weather information on the chart screen of its powerful 6100i networked navigation system. Now boaters who enjoy Northstar’s legendary ease of use, can harness the power of real-time weather information to enhance safety and improve their time on the water.

Using the new Northstar Weather Module, 6100i owners can display weather radar (precipitation), lightning strikes, sea surface temperature, marine zone forecasts and warnings, tropical statements, surface observations and track tropical storms, hurricanes and cyclones. The Northstar solution also provides boaters with wind and wave forecasts as an overlay to their cartography.

The Northstar Weather Module provides coverage for boaters in the 48 contiguous states, as well as international waters extending hundreds of miles into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. The complete Northstar Weather Module solution includes a receiver, Sirius antenna (SRA40) and cabling. A monthly Sirius Marine Weather subscription is required.

The Northstar Weather Module is currently available through select authorized Northstar dealers, and priced at $989.95. Subscriptions to the Sirius Weather service are available directly from Sirius Marine Radio.
