Maptech (Amesbury, MA) - If seeing is believing, then Maptech believes that just OneTouch of the i3 will introduce you to a totally new and exciting way to navigate. The i3 is an all-in-one solution that is built around OneTouch options. The sunlight viewable large marinized color touch-screen display lets you view and change charts and create a route and a lot more by just touching the screen.
"Let your finger do the navigating" is not a cute slogan, but how it's done. The i3 stands for "integrated-intuitive-innovative." Designed with computer power, the i3 stays current and adaptable. Pick the options you want; add more when you are ready.
Gavin Johnston, VP of Marketing & Sales at Maptech, points out "One of the major problems facing the marine industry is the complexity of electronic navigation. We see the i3 as the ideal solution for the boater who wants to take full advantage of the latest technology, but wants it to be easy and simple, yet powerful and updateable and of course, fun to use. We believe that OneTouch is all it takes to experience the wonder and excitement of a new way to enjoy the water like never before."
