So, what’s in LightHouse 3 Annapolis? We hope you’ll agree that there is something for everyone! Read on to learn all about it.
LightHouse Annapolis brings a new range of performance sailing features to LightHouse 3 including Laylines, Polars, and new advanced data displays.
LightHouse 3.9 Annapolis supports display of dynamic laylines on the navigation chart. Sailing along laylines maximizes your boat’s Velocity Made Good (VMG) to windward, making upwind sailing as efficient as possible. Laylines can be configured to display from a performance profile using fixed angles or from polar performance data.
LightHouse 3.9 Annapolis features built-in polars for over 200 popular models of sailboats. Choose your make and model and enjoy optimized laylines specific to your boat model. Polar performance targets are displayed in the newly enhanced Dashboard application.
The Dashboard app is upgraded with new sailing-specific items that work alongside the laylines on your chartplotter. New data items and dial indicators show you the direction to steer to maximize your VMG to windward. Trimming sails for optimum performance is now easier than ever!
FLIR M132 and M232 thermal cameras now support ClearCruise Augmented Reality (AR) on LightHouse 3.9 Annapolis. Day or night, ClearCruise AR shows you valuable identification data for navigation aids, AIS contacts, and waypoints. The AR display even updates automatically with the pan and digital zoom capabilities of the M232 for 360° viewing.
