NEW FEATURES
JL Audio Media Master Remote Control
Control JL Audio marine source units from the LightHouse 3.8 audio app. Compatible with the JL Audio MM50, MM00s-BE and MM40R source units and remotes using NMEA2000.
Search and Rescue Patterns
LightHouse 3.8 now features Search and Rescue (SAR) pattern support. First responders and good Samaritans can automatically generate sector, creeping Line or Parallel Line search patterns to assist in locating persons and property in the water.
Collision Avoidance Predicted Area of Danger Overlay
Predicted Areas of Danger overlay shows you precisely where the risk of collision is highest when manoeuvring through marine traffic. Using AIS data or MARPA tracking risk areas are highlighted in red right on your navigation chart.
Electronic Chart Synchronization
Chart synchronization allows you to synchronize the heading, range, and position information across multiple chart views and networked displays.
Dynamic Target Intercept Calculations
Target Intercept shows the quickest way to rendezvous with another vessel using AIS or MARPA. Select a target, choose Intercept, and LightHouse will show you the course to steer on the chart.
LightHouse NC2 Electronic Chart Base Map
3.8 introduces a new LightHouse Chart base map with improved small scale detail, chart labels, and geographic boundaries.
LightHouse Charts Selectable Depth Coloring
Raymarine LightHouse vector charts can now show variations in water depth using several shades of blue and white.
LORAN-C TD Support
LightHouse 3.8 now supports Loran C TD position displays and waypoint entry via Loran TDs. Set your regions Chain, Slave and ASF settings in the Units Settings tab.
LightHouse Apps Manager (Axiom Family Exclusive)
LightHouse apps let you expand the capabilities of Axiom, Axiom Pro and Axiom XL systems with popular entertainment, communications and systems integration apps. This includes popular entertainment apps like Netflix and Spotify, and boating specific apps like Lumishore Lighting, Theyr GRIBview and others.
LightHouse 3.8 now gives you the ability to customize the apps available on your system. New apps can be downloaded from Raymarine.com and loaded onto your Axiom MFD. Unused apps can be removed from the MFD’s LightHouse Apps menu if desired to save space and keep things tidy.
