September 18, 2017 – All New Raymarine Lighthouse 3.2 Brings Even More to Your Axiom

The all-new LightHouse 3.2 operating software update provides numerous enhancements and an even more intuitive, seamless, and fluid user experience for your Axiom.

You can update via a wireless network by simply connecting your Axiom to your home Wi-Fi or your phone’s mobile hotspot. You can also download Lighthouse 3.2 through Raymarine’s website here: Raymarine Lighthouse 3.2 Update

Raymarine Lighthouse 3.2

The Raymarine Lighthouse 3.2 Update Brings the Following Features:

Navionics Dock-to-Dock Autorouting, SonarChart Live, and more advanced charting options
C-MAP Chart support including Easy Routing, Active Captain, high-resolution bathymetry and sport fishing data
1-touch “Autoroute to Here” navigation with both C-MAP and Navionics charts
Wireless HD Display streaming to external monitors and HDTVs using Miracast HDMI over Wi-Fi
Remote control of both Fusion and Rockford Fosgate sound systems using NMEA2000
Expanded waypoint viewing options, color palettes, and transducer calibration options in RealVision 3D sonar
Expanded support for upgrades of attached network devices and accessories

It also includes all features that were added in version update 3.196:

3D Sonar GPS Track Mode: This is the new default operating mode for RealVision 3D sonar. The 3D image responds in real-time to inputs from its internal gyro-stabilization, plus the GPS system. When you turn, you’ll see the 3D image turn as well. When you speed up, it will match your speed. When you stop, it stops. As you make multiple passes around the same area the 3D image continuously updates and gets larger! Adjacent passes are stitched together into a comprehensive view of the bottom, structure and water column. Fish and bait that were in one location on pass one and shown in their new location in pass two, three, four, etc.  Depending on the depth where you are fishing, the system can display 10 minutes (or more) of prior history. Deeper water gives you more time. Amazing.

Raymarine Sonar Track

Sonar Scroll Back: You can now pause and rewind any sonar channel on the system. If you’re looking at more than one sonar channel simultaneously, pausing one pauses them all and when rewound, they all rewind together. This lets you go back and take a second look, add waypoints, etc.

Historical Sonar Sensitivity: If you adjust any of the sonar sensitivity settings (gain, filtering, etc.), it not only applies to new data coming in, but also to all of that prior scroll-back history, too. For example, you might increase or decrease the surface filter or gain and suddenly see fish in your past history that were previously concealed.

3D Waypoint Placement: You can now touch anywhere on the 3D display and drop a waypoint. There is a mechanism there, too, that allows you to fine-tune that waypoint to get it right on the desired spot.

Wi-Fi connectivity to RayRemote and RayControl Apps for Apple and Android Devices

New SideVision and DownVision Default Settings: Raymarine sonar engineers have re-adjusted the default levels for target intensity and gain on SideVision and DownVision channels. These new settings offer increased clarity and definition without additional user adjustment.

Expanded Support for RMK-10 Wired Keypad

Advanced Cool Thermal Technology and Superior Imaging & Long Range Target Identification Found in New FLIR Thermal Cameras

FLIR M Series Thermal Camera

FLIR Systems, parent company to Raymarine, just announced the addition of a cooled thermal camera to its award-winning M-Series multi-sensor maritime camera (in the m500 model). This will enable superyachts, first responders, and commercial vessels to see long-range targets with incredible clarity, providing professional captains with enhanced situational awareness to detect targets more than 15 kilometers, navigate tight waterways, and avoid collisions day and night.

The cooled midwave thermal camera’s ability to detect very small temperature variations translates into greater detail and enhanced image clarity, allowing professional captains to positively identify targets and avoid hazards with much greater confidence while underway. An extremely powerful 14X optical zoom lens also provides superior early detection of vessels, key landmarks, and navigation aids. The integrated HD visible camera improves navigational awareness, allowing easy identification of vessels and landmarks in both day and nighttime conditions. Raymarine / FLIR’s gyro-stabilization allows for steady imagery even in the roughest of seas, while video tracking can monitor a selected moving or stationary target.
