Raymarine, a global leader in high-performance marine electronics for the recreational boating, marine first-responder and law-enforcement markets – has announced Axiom 2, the next evolution of its award‑winning Axiom chartplotter series. Designed for sailors, anglers, cruisers, and motor‑yacht owners, Axiom 2 combines faster performance with Raymarine’s signature durability and ease of use.
 
Featuring a powerful 6‑core processor, next‑generation LightHouse Charts, exclusive HydroTough™ nano-coated displays and expanded app and engine integration, Axiom 2 delivers a more intuitive and more responsive navigation experience for boaters of all levels.
 
“Axiom 2 represents a major leap forward for onboard navigation and chartplotter capabilities,” said Michelle Hildyard, Vice President of Operations at Raymarine. “We engineered Axiom 2 to be faster, brighter and overall, more capable in every meaningful way. From processing power and chart performance to wet-weather touch response, boaters will immediately feel the difference from the moment they power it on.”
 
Inside its rugged IPX6-rated waterproof construction, Axiom 2’s enhanced processor will bring boaters 10-percent quicker start-up time and chart rendering 30-percent faster than its predecessor, paired with high-speed one-gigabit networking. Chartplotter, sonar, radar, autopilot and video are all integrated seamlessly with Axiom 2’s LightHouse operating system, while the upgraded hardware platform gives the Axiom 2 expanded memory, offering users access to more than 30 available apps including apps for streaming entertainment, weather, lighting, vessel monitoring and more.
 
Axiom 2 comes bundled with LightHouse Charts GEN 2, delivering chart redraws with smooth and responsive panning and zooming, three-times faster than previous generations. Expanded coverage will give boaters charts of new bodies of waters, lakes, rivers and harbor enhancements. LightHouse Charts GEN 2 also features a growing catalog of charts, covering regions including North America, Europe, the Mediterranean, South America, South Africa and Asia.
 
Axiom 2 will be available in two models: one non-sonar version and one featuring a built-in 600W sonar plus Raymarine’s award-winning RealVision (RV) sonar and imaging. Axiom 2 RV features high-frequency CHIRP sonar so anglers can pinpoint fish and assess bottom hardness, while DownVision and SideVision paired with RealVision 3D will offer a full-picture view to keep users on the bite non-stop.
 
Axiom 2 is available in 7-, 9- and 12-inch display sizes and includes integration with the industry’s top engine brands. Axiom 2 will also come with an industry-leading, three-year warranty.
