Yacht Controller, a company known for providing “innovative technology for the marine industry”, announced during the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, the integration of the Yacht Controller information and control panel on compatible Garmin multifunction displays (MFDs) with OneHelm™ functionality. This integration allows Yacht Controller and Garmin users to take advantage of the Garmin display for accessing the Yacht Controller panel during their maneuvers, thereby having a vivid color visual and easy method to see the system without the need for another dedicated Yacht Controller screen on their boat.
Gerald Berton, President of Yacht Controller, stated that this strategic alliance provides the opportunity for Yacht Controller and Garmin customers to take advantage of combining both companies’ advanced technologies within the Garmin screen to improve their boating pleasure, safety, and experience.
Michael Range from Garmin said that working together with a proven advanced technology brand such as Yacht Controller and incorporating it into the Garmin OneHelm solution will provide customers the opportunity to easily see and control multiple functions via Garmin’s intuitive high-resolution HD touchscreen displays and its high-performance processor provides a superior user experience.

Televisions on a boat are increasingly commonplace. With the simple-to-install Glomex Avior VT300 Omnidirectional TV/FM antenna from GA Communications, it's never been easier to bring analog and digital broadcasts onboard—at a price that's hard to ignore.
The most noticeable feature of the Avior VT300 antenna is its compact white, anti-yellowing radome. At only 4" dia. x 8" H and 8.8 oz., it's specifically made for smaller boats that can't accommodate large TV antenna domes and only need short range reception, depending on height and conditions. The amplifier allows the antenna to have an increase in gain with a 24.5 dB average to receive vertical and horizontal polarized TV signals simultaneously from 360°.
