THE SKIES DARKENED FAST. Capt. Art Sapp was running home to Lighthouse Point, Florida, from the Bahamas aboard Native Son, his SeaVee 39, when he saw the storm wall. "I ran 30 miles to get around the thunder and lightning," he said, adding that he used dual 16-inch Raymarine Axiom 2 XL multifunction displays, and networked radar and satellite weather, to pick a less-awful route. "It's got a fluidlike feeling on the screens. It's wild," Sapp said of the Axiom 2 XL. "It makes it so accurate, there's no missed touch." While screen-tap accuracy matters, there's more going on with Raymarine's latest displays than screen coatings. And it's been developing for years. In 2017, Raymarine unveiled its Axiom displays with quad-core processors, RealVision 3D sonar and the Android-based Lighthouse 3 operating system. Lighthouse 3 was Raymarine's all-new operating system architecture, and it made the company an early Android adopter within the marine space. Raymarine's Axiom 2 displays come in three models with screen sizes ranging from 9 to 24 inches. All of them have six-core processors, global navigation satellite system receivers, 64 gigabytes of solid-state storage, the latest version of Raymarine's Lighthouse 4 operating system and next-generation screen coatings.
