Homescreen
When you turn on your Vulcan display, you arrive at the home screen. The user interface is easy to understand and the menus are intuitive to use.
On the left hand side you can scroll through the settings menu. In the centre you have access to chart navigation and sailing features. On the right hand side there is another scroll bar where you can save all your favourite pages.
Chart Navigation
To access the chart on your Vulcan display simply select the chart icon from the home screen. Once in the chart view, you can pan around the chart and zoom in and out. To re-centre your boat to the middle of the screen, select clear cursor in the top right of the screen.
You can view the chart in different ways. To view in 3D mode, select 3D view from chart options within the menu.
SailSteer
SailSteer is an exclusive sailing feature to B&G chartplotters. It takes your instrument data and displays it in one screen that is easy to interpret and understand.
In the centre of the screen it shows your boat which always points to the top. Around your boat is a compass rose which moves as you change heading. There are also indicators to show your Apparent Wind Angle (AWA), True Wind Direction (TWD) and Course Over Ground (COG). If you are navigating to a waypoint, the SailSteer screen will also show you the bearing to the waypoint.
The central blue arrow shows tidal flow and set and at the bottom of the diagram you can see your rudder angle. All the data is also visible in the two columns either side of the diagram.
SailSteer Overlay
The SailSteer diagram can be overlaid on top of your chart so you can navigate and view your instrument data at the same time. In the settings menu, select Chart and ensure that Sail Steer Overlay is checked.
Echosounder
Vulcan is a standalone chartplotter, but for the sailors that want to see what is below their boat in high detail, the Vulcan features integrated support for CHIRP sonar, ForwardScan™ and DownScan Imaging™ (To enable this technology add the appropriate sensor to your system.)
- Easily determine depth
- Distinguish different seabed types for safe anchoring
- Collision avoidance using ForwardScan

It’s easy to place and navigate to waypoints from the Vulcan displays. Position the cursor on the chart and then select ‘New Waypoint’ from the menu.
