Safety Alerts

The Safety Alerts feature included with Zeus S can constantly monitor your course for dangerous chart objects no matter what your speed, zoom level, or view. Whether it’s a buoy, shallow water, rocks, or land Zeus S can warn you in advance.

CMAP® Discover X and Reveal X charts provide detailed chart data available at all times to Safety Alert
Alerts provide the sailor with awareness of potentially dangerous charted objects above and below the waterline
Automatically identify charted objects which are of concern, warning, or critical based on their relative time and distance
‘Harbor’ and ‘Offshore’ modes allow Zeus S to automatically change the time and range sensitivity based on the use
Ideal for use in unfamiliar waters or at night when visibility is reduced to identify dangerous objects.

Quick Race Entry

Quickly create a race route from the sorted list of waypoints
Easily add port and starboard rounding indicators
Intuitively add, remove or reorder a race route
Use the Race overview tool to brief your race crew with expected wind angles and estimated sailing time for each race leg to aid decision-making and sail selection

Start line

The powerful Zeus Start Line tool is now chart based to allow navigational awareness during the start procedure
Start line view, including laylines, favored end, tide set & rate, and True Wind Direction
The chart dynamically orientates and zooms to ensure the boat and start line are in view
Calculations are based on the yacht’s Bow Position via an offset distance for the GPS
Zeus S Internal GPS (or optional external options) provides precise position 10 times per second
Simple setup - set the port and starboard start line end positions via a button press (“ping”), waypoint, or cursor
Easily return to view the start line on the chart via an edge marker
Zeus S automatically captures your distance to the line when the race timer reaches zero
The following start line data is calculated and displayed:

Distance behind the line (boat lengths or meters)
Distance to port & starboard ends
Start line Bias to True Wind Direction
Bias advantage

Race Timer

Race Timer provides a flexible and integrated tool for starting and monitoring race duration

Quickly adjust the race timer start value
Set the race timer to countdown to a GPS-based start time. e.g. 1900h
The race timer control is available from networked devices
Start, Stop, Sync [to nearest minute] and Reset functions
Automatically starts a stopwatch when the race timer reaches zero to track race duration

Chart Orientation

Easily rotate the chart to aid understanding and make better decisions for your route or race course.

Single touch rotates between:

North up
Heading up
Course up (Course over Ground)
Target up (Waypoint)
Wind up (True Wind Direction)
Start line up

Laylines

B & G pioneered laylines in chart plotters with the original Zeus®. Zeus S laylines provide a powerful decision-aiding tool.

Overlay your target sailing angles, upwind or downwind, to your destination on the chart
Enable wind history to show a wind shift heat map, which intensifies the colors over time to show the history of true wind direction
Mini Inspect (short press) a layline to gain detailed target sailing angles, speed, SailingTime, and distances
Full Inspect provides detailed sailing information on current and opposite tacks
Apply tidal correction to layline calculations
Display laylines using actual data or input targets.

Time to Cursor

Have you ever wanted to know how long it will take to sail to a location on the chart or do you need to tell your race crew how long to go?

Simply place the cursor anywhere on the chart to show an estimated sailing time and distance information to the cursor position.

Ideal, when you’re navigating to a waypoint and you need to know the sailing time to a secondary position.

Tide Gauge

Need to know the state of the tide quickly? Zeus S provides at a glance tidal data

Graphically see a tidal histogram including current time indication in the instrument data bar
Choose between the automatic selection of the closest tidal station, or selecting a specific station
More detailed tidal data is available via the chart icons

Wind Plot

Dedicated wind charts for monitoring wind history and assessing trends

User configurable options include:

Show Trend lines
Show tack color (port/starboard)
Show Average
Min, Max, and current value
Time range 1,5,10,30 or 60 minutes
