As a stand-alone unit or integrated system, the 6000i is automatically easy. You pick the display size you want. You choose the functions you need.

Start simple

It stays simple, no matter how big the boat, how many stations or how many functions you add.

Do it now - Do it later

The 6000i is all about flexibility. Hardware, Software, Upgrades. Every part of the 6000i is completely compatible with every other. Plug it in and turn it on.

The engineers call it a network...

N2 Technology is Northstar's method for moving information around your boat. You don't see it, but it's the workhorse inside your 6000i. Enter a waypoint on one display, and see the waypoint on every display. Insert a Navionics chart card in the master unit and N2 makes that chart data availableto all other 6000i units on the boat - as though the card were plugged into each unit. Add a radar to your 6000i, and all units can display and control radar. N2 is what moves that radar overlay up to the tower. N2 is what allows you to navigate from the flybridge or the tower. N2 puts the sounder display in the cockpit. N2 is what lets you do anything from anywhere. All you need to know is that N2 is there.

Pure Northstar.

Northstar's 6000i gives you the choice of 10.4", 8.4", 6.4",and screen sizes. Each size offers a bigger viewing screen with a smaller footprint than ever before. Crisp, clear screens. Never before has Northstar put so much screen clarity in such a small, elegant package. Northstar's 6000i is the perfect setup for center consoles or sport cruisers. Want functionality, but don't have much space? The 6000i is your answer. Pick a single function, or pick 'em all! Plotter, radar, sounder, video, multi-function displays, split screens, and overlays are as easy as touching a single button. The 6000i is pure Northstar. Depend on it.

The 6000i Plotter - The confidence is built in.

Northstar's 6000i Chart Plotter gives you the confidence to go. The Northstar 6000i chartplotter /GPS is the core of the 6000i's integrated navigation system. Concise, crystal-clear Navionics cartography presented on full-color displays with blindingly fast speed. All at the touch of a single key. Each size comes standard with GPS and WAAS. The 6000i is touch-of-a-key simple and vintage Northstar.

The 6000i Sounder - One good reason not to be a fish.

Northstar's 6000i Sounder makes fishing easy. The 6000i's razor-sharp screen clarity gives you all the information you need. Go over a school? The 6000i's SoundTrac feature, a Northstar exclusive, lets you scroll back in "history" and navigate back to the exact spot with the touch of a button. Standard features include: Dual-frequency (50/200 kHz). Four zoom modes: bottom, bottom lock, bottom lock center, and marker zoom. Nine different screen color sets. Adjustable fish, bottom, and temperature alarms. Depth in feet, fathoms, or meters. Speed through-the-water and water temperature* are available. When you combine the 6000i's unique sounder with it's navigation and radar functions, the 6000i is just plain awesome. Unless you are a fish.

The 6000i - True color radar.

Northstar's 6000i Radar was designed to be part of the 6000i 's integrated navigation system. You don't "learn" this radar. You use it. Night or day, the clarity of information verges on inspirational. Use the 6000i radar's image in chart-overlay or split-screen mode and even the most daunting passages become a snap. Range Rider, a Northstar exclusive, automatically saves your tuning adjustments for each range. When you go back to a range, the settings you've made are already there. Add the 6000i 's radar when you're ready. You choose the power and the antenna you want. It's a very sophisticated radar, yet a very flexible part of the 6000i system.

The 6000i Video - It's everywhere.

The 6000i's integrated system has NTSC video input and VGA output. Perfect for docking/engine monitoring/ underwater cameras, DVD and TV. Just press the video key. It's full of remote possibilities. Football next to the sounder display in the cockpit. Radar displayed on the TV*, or any external monitor/display. The 6000i gives you sizeable video from any source on the boat. If you can plug it in, you can have it. Video the Northstar way, 6000i simple.
