Navigating the waters can be stressful. Not knowing which way traffic is headed. Hazy, dark or bright glare can make objects on the water hard to see with the naked eye.

Raymarine wants you to be able to enjoy your time on the water all the while staying informed of your surroundings. That’s why they created Raymarine’s ClearCruise™ AR technology. ClearCruise AR is bringing enhanced on water perception to Raymarine’s family of Axiom® multifunction displays. With ClearCruise AR, Raymarine Axiom users can make smarter decisions with navigation information overlaid directly on Axiom’s high definition video display. ClearCruise AR identifies waypoints, boats and more. Now you not only know what each vessel is on the water, but which way it’s headed.

“ClearCruise AR brings that clear awareness of what’s ahead of you and it gives you a visual confirmation that you are where you think you are,” says Jim McGowan, Raymarine’s Americas marketing manager. “The flags fall right over the buoys. It’s the same with AIS — it’s easy to lose track of who is coming and going, but with ClearCruise AR, it’s instant recognition.”

When you have full situational awareness, you can make smarter decisions on the water. ClearCruise AR overlays information clearly set as flags on objects on your display. You’ll see the vessel’s name, distance and direction of travel clearly displayed in high definition. ClearCruise AR allows you to see critical navigation objects overlaid on HD video as well. Surrounding AIS-equipped vessel traffic and charted navigation aids are clearly identified with rich graphics on a live, dynamic video image. By knowing the vessel’s name and heading, you have better awareness on the water and can make better decisions.

Weekends on the water can be like rush hour traffic. With Raymarine’s ClearCruise AR you can recognize and respond to nearby marine traffic. There’s no substitute for clear-headed sailing, but by seeing the traffic in real time in the real world, and with real situational awareness, your stress can be reduced so you can make better decisions. Color-coded labels provide instant identification, status, and risk-assessment Live AIS Targets. ClearCruise AR provides positive identification of AIS-equipped vessels on the horizon, which means better decisions can be made.

Sailing should be enjoyable and your time on the water should be memorable. Imagine knowing what’s on the horizon before you could see it. With ClearCruise AR, you can now actually see and understand complex navigational situations allowing you to safely navigate the water. It’s like having a crystal ball. Major chart objects are identified for instant, heads-up recognition right on your multifunction display. ClearCruise AR technology shows you visually where your saved waypoints and marks are located.

With ClearCruise AR, you can see your waypoints in the real world. They are set right in your navigation’s display. No need to guess anymore, you can visualize nearby boats, marks and waypoints for easy navigation and peace of mind. ClearCruise AR technology makes it easy to pick out the buoys marking the edges of the safe channel even on a hazy day. Making any day on the water a more enjoyable and safer outing.

Augmented reality is here, more useful than ever with Raymarine ClearCruise AR. Get it on your Raymarine Axiom display now and start cruising the way you want to—relaxed.
