London, October 8th, 2007 – Imartec today announced that they have appointed Ex Aqua as their official importer and distributor for the United Kingdom. As part of the agreement, Ex Aqua will market and distribute the Nauteek SC100 and SC200 GPS displays in the United Kingdom.
State of the art technology crammed in a pocket size device, the Nauteek SC100 and SC200 multifunction tactical displays offer features usually found on much more expensive electronic navigation instruments.
With their ease of installation and use and high visibility display of speed and heading, the Nauteek SC100 and SC200 are ideal for all sizes of boat, especially smaller boats where power is not available and hull fittings deemed not suitable or too expensive. The SC100 is ideal for beginners and cruisers whereas the SC200 provides all the tools to help the serious racers hone their racing skills.
The SC100 displays speed (SOG), heading (COG) and offers countdown timer and chronograph. In addition to this the SC200 displays Velocity Made Good (VMG), True Upwind Direction (TUD), TUD variation, Distance to Start Line (DTSL), Velocity To Destination (VTD), and a graphical speed histogram. The SC100 and SC200 can record 14 hours of position, speed, heading, and timestamps that can be downloaded to your PC in formats compatible with GPS Action Replay and Google Earth. This feature enables sailors to analyse the effects of currents, headers and lifts on their sailing and their speed through tacks and gybes. The snapshot interval can be increased to increase recording capacity. The USB link can also be used to upgrade the Nauteek's firmware, giving access to future functionality enhancements.
"The Nauteek SC200 and the recently released SC100 GPS tactical displays are meeting a strong demand in France, our home market, and the British market is an important milestone for our growth. We are looking forward to working with Ex Aqua to develop this market." says Nicolas Girard, Nauteek Sales Manager at Imartec.
"The Nauteek tactical displays are well positioned and offer a rich set of features which until now was only available in much more expensive navigation systems. A particularly interesting feature is their upgradeability by the user, which protects the initial investment and enables the owner to benefit from future functionality enhancements. We strongly believe that these devices will attract strong demand in the British market." says Claire Guignabaudet, Principal of Ex Aqua.
