For example, by customizing information on layouts and linking them to the control and joystick, drivers can press an assigned button on the joystick which will bring up the docking camera view on the display. Glass Cockpit can be fully customized for use by operators.Ĭertain boating functions, such as operating in reverse and using radar, require more focus. Integration of all functions into this innovative system means that drivers can access all operational and monitoring controls on one interface, and change layouts to suit their own particular requirements and wishes, at any given time.

The award-winning all-in-one application was first launched in 2013, and in a continuing collaboration with Garmin, is now available for use with both the 76 series of multi-functional displays (MFD) for a wider range of screens. Glass Cockpit seamlessly encompasses the latest navigational technology from Garmin and Volvo Penta’s Electronic Vessel Control system (EVC) to provide a state-of-the-art platform for the driver.

Volvo Penta has taken boating to a new level of intelligent design with its upgraded Glass Cockpit system.
