- Clearly see the highest risk vessels
- When using a Cortex handset, smartphone, or tablet, make trial maneuvers to see a simulation of where and when your paths will cross
Anchor Watch
- Sleep soundly or explore with abandon knowing that your boat is exactly where you anchored
- By combining your position and heading, Cortex will determine if your anchor drags
- When your boat moves outside your anchor swing radius the alarm will sound on Cortex handsets and your smartphone
- Receive alerts while ashore via the Cortex Monitor App on your smartphone
- Cortex will keep watch and alert you about changes in water depth, wind speed, or direction while you are anchored
Man Overboard (MOB)
- When Cortex detects an AIS MOB activation it immediately sounds the alarm
- Compatible with all AIS MOBs, you will see where the MOB was first activated along with continuous updates to its location, bearing, and range
- Get clear information and take the best course
- Label AIS MOB devices with crew names for easy identification
- Pressing the dedicated MOB button activates a trackback mode on all handsets and marks the MOB on NMEA 2000 connected MFDs
