Raymarine - global leader in high-performance marine electronics for the recreational boating, marine first-responder and law-enforcement markets - announced today a free upgrade to its line of award-winning Alpha Performance Displays with the release of the Alpha 3.0 software update.

Packed with valuable tools for interacting with instrument data such as new visualizations and autopilot integration, boaters can now get even more from their Alpha displays with an easy-to-install update.

Alpha's large and responsive touch-screen interface now has full support for Raymarine Evolution autopilots. Autopilot controls support all major autopilot operating modes, including Steer to Heading, Navigation Mode and Steer to Wind Angle. In Navigation Mode, a 3D presentation shows the boat in relation to the plotted route with visual cross-track error guides and turn point information. Navigation Mode also includes Dodge controls and Resume Route controls that allow users to maneuver quickly around unexpected obstacles and then return to a plotted course. With Steering to Wind Angle, Alpha gives sailors the choice of steering to true-wind angle, apparent-wind angle or steering to the boat's Polar for maximum performance.

In addition to Evolution autopilot controls, Alpha provides visualization of a boat's navigation, environmental and systems data with customizable digital displays, analogue gauges, histograms and much more. It also supports networked video sources like FLIR thermal and Raymarine visible cameras.

Available in 7- and 9-inch, high-visibility, tactical touchscreen instruments, Alpha offers a fully customizable dashboard and graphic displays to help boaters make smarter decisions. Designed for helm, companionway or mast mounting in portrait or landscape orientation, the Alpha Series is controlled and customized via touchscreen or remotely from a Raymarine Axiom chartplotter and only requires a single cable for data and power.
