Who is the Orca Display for?
Updated over a week ago

The Orca Display 2 is a navigation tablet designed for boating. It delivers the ease of use and flexibility of a modern tablet, with the reliability and ruggedness of a traditional chartplotter.

If you are using the Orca App on your tablet or phone already, you will feel right at home on the Orca Display 2. The software is almost identical and equally fast and easy to use.

Why should I get the Orca Display 2 instead of using Orca on my phone or tablet?

The Orca Display 2 provides 1000 nits of persistent brightness with a premium etched anti-glare surface finish, a -15 to 55°C operating temperature range, and a 9500mAh battery that offers up to 8 hours of battery-powered navigation.

Most phones and tablets deliver half the sustained brightness of the Orca Display 2 with low-quality anti-glare finishes and only support temperatures up to 40°C. As a result, they become hard to view in direct sunlight and prone to overheating.

Here are also some typical reasons for getting an Orca Display 2 instead of a traditional chartplotter:

  • You want a smarter navigation experience

  • You want to do more than just navigation on your marine device

  • You go boating on different boats frequently, or rent boats often

You want a modern navigation experience

Orca Display 2 runs a truly modern navigation system. It is built from the ground up for the modern boater and offers many smart and truly modern experiences.

The first thing you'll notice is that the Orca Display 2 is faster and more responsive than a traditional chartplotter. It is also easier to learn than a chartplotter with no complicated menus and settings.

The Display 2 also delivers a range of functionality that no chartplotter does: It connects to the internet to give you weather-aware routing. It shows you weather forecasts, lets you monitor your boat remotely, shows you AIS data from the internet, and syncs with the Orca App on your phone and tablet.

If you feel that chartplotters are outdated and want something more modern, you'll love the Orca Display 2.

You want to do more than just navigation on your marine device

Orca Display 2 runs Android and is certified by Google. It means you can install any Android app you want on it, from weather forecasts to entertainment and productivity apps.

You go boating on different boats frequently

Orca Display 2 is portable, making it effortless to bring between boats. If you own multiple boats, work on boats or rent boats – then the Orca Display 2 is the perfect product for you.
