*For 9, 12 and 16 inch models, see our new Zeus³S range.

The SolarMAX HD screen ensures perfect visibility in all conditions. Zeus³’s screen has been tested to the limit in everything from tropical sunlight to the depths of the southern ocean and polar winters. You can see it through polarised sunglasses, and the responsive touchscreen works even in flying spray and rough sea.

Zeus³ has an integrated rotary dial and keypad that can take over control of all functions in extreme conditions, along with customisable keys for instant access to frequently-used functions.

Enjoy exceptional situational awareness thanks to Zeus³‘s high-performance processor. There’s plenty of processing power to run charts, radar, ForwardScan and autopilot controls simultaneously without compromising on performance – giving you all the tools you need to enjoy the sailing, safe in the knowledge that you can monitor your surroundings.

Opt for a dual-station installation and Zeus³ will ensure you’ve got the data you need, where you need it. Share your charts, radar and sonar between multiple Zeus³ displays at the helm, nav station and elsewhere on board over a lag-free Ethernet connection, for simple installation and lightning fast networking between displays.

Dedicated Sailing Features for Cruising and Racing

Navigate with confidence with Zeus³’s award winning sailing features:

SailSteer

See all the data you need at a glance on one easy-to-read display with SailSteer. See crucial wind, speed, tide, heading, course over ground, layline and waypoint information, overlaid on one screen to ensure you have the information you need at your fingertips.

Laylines

Let Zeus³ do the hard work: See your course and minimise your time spent beating with Laylines overlaid on your chart. See which way is best and ensure you tack in the right place to help you get to windward as efficiently as possible. Laylines even take into account tidal effects and wind shifts to plot the quickest course to the next waypoint.

SailingTime

Plan effectively with SailingTime and know how long it will take to get to a waypoint, even if it’s dead upwind. SailingTime calculates the time you’ll spend on each tack, taking into account wind and tidal effects, to give you an accurate ETA at your destination.

RacePanel

Be on the line as the gun goes with RacePanel. Enjoy easy-to-use features previously only enjoyed by Pro navigators to ensure you get the best start in the fleet, with time, distance and positioning information on a single clear display.

Know exactly where your boat is at all times with an inbuilt 10Hz GPS receiver that plots your position with exceptional accuracy.

Zeus³ sits at the heart of your boat – and you can take command of commissioning and controlling your B&G autopilot from your Zeus³ touchscreen. Tack, gybe, sail to wind or compass heading and take advantage of the advanced sailing algorithms that make B&G Pilots the best in their class.

Built in WiFi allows you to mirror and control the screen from anywhere on board on a Smartphone or Tablet using the Link App, for a cost-effective dual-station solution. Back up your settings and waypoints, or connect to a Wireless hotspot or marina WiFi to download weather forecasts and download software updates straight to your device. Connect your phone via Bluetooth to read and respond to text messages from the chartplotter’s display.

Enjoy a fully connected sailing experience and control and monitor your H5000 instrument system on board from the display. Zeus³ can also take full control of onboard systems using Naviop and CZone, allowing fingertip command and monitoring of lights and systems on board.

Zeus³ chartplotters are optimised for sleek flush mounting, standing only 8mm proud of the bulkhead for a low-profile ‘glass helm’ look. Alternatively, mount it using the supplied bracket on horizontal, vertical or overhead surfaces.

Zeus³ chartplotters support a wide range of leading cartography, from C-MAP, Navionics and NV Digital. Take advantage of advanced mapping features including autorouting, dynamic tides and currents, aerial photos and detailed harbour charts to ensure you know exactly what lies beneath your keel at all times.

Easy to expand your network

Just add power to enjoy Zeus³ as a versatile standalone chartplotter with first-rate navigation functions. For the best experience and to take advantage of our award-winning sailing features, network your chartplotter with instruments and sensors using industry standard NMEA 2000 connectivity.

ForwardScan

See what lies ahead under the water by adding a ForwardScan transducer. Benefit from a real-time two-dimensional view of the seabed in front of your boat. Navigate into shallow anchorages and poorly charted areas with ease and know what lies ahead with confidence.

Radar

Negotiate busy shipping lanes, see through darkness and poor visibility and track weather cells with B&G Broadband Radar on your Zeus3.

SonicHub

Add a SonicHub to take control of your onboard entertainment from your Zeus3 display. With integrated Bluetooth, stream music from your smartphone or tablet, or listen to music on a USB drive or AM/FM radio. Control everything including volume and individual zones from your Zeus3 display.
