Homescreen
When you turn on your Vulcan display, you arrive at the home screen. The user interface is easy to understand and the menus are intuitive to use.

SailSteer
SailSteer is an exclusive sailing feature to B&G chartplotters. It takes your instrument data and displays it in one screen that is easy to interpret and understand.
In the centre of the screen it shows your boat which always points to the top. Around your boat is a compass rose which moves as you change heading. There are also indicators to show your Apparent Wind Angle (AWA), True Wind Direction (TWD) and Course Over Ground (COG). If you are navigating to a waypoint, the SailSteer screen will also show you the bearing to the waypoint.
The central blue arrow shows tidal flow and set and at the bottom of the diagram you can see your rudder angle.
All the data is also visible in the two columns either side of the diagram.
