Locomarine’s Marine Computer Systems

by Yme Bosma · September 6, 2004

There’s a new manufacturer of marine computer systems, Locomarine, primarily building Centrino based ‘desktop’ systems. At least conceptually they have a very good understanding of the value a PC can bring to any yacht. One of the simple but innovative features is the additional ‘Dashboard control’ unit with power on/off button, 4 USB ports and headphone jack.

“This new series 2000 model is based on high performance ultra low power consumption Pentium M (Centrino) 1.7+ GHz processor. It offers speed and usability as the strongest desktop machines with power consumption lower than many laptop models. 2000 model is prepared for usage of up to 4 independent LCD which give you a possibility to monitor all necessary information separately (radar, chart, NMEA information, sonar).”
