B&G Zeus S 12 Chartplotter
Simplify navigation and manage your complete sailing system with the B&G Zeus S 12 Chartplotter. Its large, high-definition touchscreen provides generous space for charts, radar, instruments, sonar and sailing data, making it ideal for larger cruising and racing yachts.
The 12-inch SolarMAX IPS display delivers a sharp 1280 × 800 resolution, 1,200-nit brightness and wide viewing angles. Charts and navigation data remain clearly visible in direct sunlight and through polarized sunglasses.
An intuitive interface, customizable screen layouts and guided Setup Wizard make the Zeus S easy to configure and operate.
Dedicated Sailing Modes
Zeus S presents the information most relevant to the current activity:
- Cruise Mode: Prioritizes charts, routes and essential cruising information.
- Race Mode: Provides quick access to StartLine, race routes, timers and performance data.
- Anchor Mode: Displays information useful for monitoring the boat while anchored.
- Night Mode: Reduces glare and improves visibility during low-light navigation.
Advanced Sailing Features
The Zeus S 12 includes enhanced B&G sailing tools for cruising and racing:
- SailSteer: Combines wind, heading, tide, layline and waypoint information in one visual display.
- Laylines: Shows predicted tacking and gybing routes directly over the chart.
- StartLine: Displays time, distance and vessel position relative to the racing start line.
- SailingTime: Calculates realistic arrival times when sailing a route that requires tacking.
- Routes and racing tools: Simplify race-course entry, waypoint management and performance monitoring.
- C-MAP Safety Alerts: Warn of shallow water and dangerous charted objects along the vessel’s course.
Compatible wind, depth, speed and heading sensors may be required to use all sailing calculations.
C-MAP DISCOVER X Cartography
The US model includes a C-MAP DISCOVER X North America chart card. DISCOVER X provides clear marine cartography and useful navigation features, including:
- Detailed coastal and inland-water coverage
- High-resolution bathymetric contours
- Custom Depth Shading
- Tides and currents
- Harbor information and points of interest
- Fast autorouting
- C-MAP Safety Alerts
- Simplified chart management and updates
The Zeus S 12 also supports optional C-MAP REVEAL X charts for additional premium cartographic features such as shaded relief and satellite imagery where available.
Integrated Sonar Capability
A built-in 9-pin XSONIC sonar port supports compatible transducers without requiring a separate basic sonar module. Supported technologies include single-channel CHIRP, traditional 50/200 kHz sonar, HDI and Active Imaging.
A sonar transducer is not included with this package.
Complete Marine-System Integration
NMEA 2000, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow the Zeus S 12 to function as the center of an integrated sailing system. Connect compatible B&G HALO radar, autopilots, AIS equipment, Triton² and Nemesis instruments, Triton Edge sailing processors and vessel sensors.
IP-camera support provides additional onboard visibility, while B&G App integration supports route planning, waypoint management, chart access and software updates.
