Dear requestee

Many thanks for your request. Ships Navigation Systems is quite a broad term encompassing many different types of navigational instruments. Can I ask - is the term you are requesting for the chart display as opposed to the navigational instruments that integrate with them? Alternatively, are you asking for a term to cover the integrated instrumentation? If so, we have many terms that classify such instrumentation such as multibeam echo sounders, positioning systems, platform orientation systems etc.

Kind regards Lou
