Yacht Tech : Garmin Surround View

[@adrianhudson1116]

Since finding your channel, you've got me watching other boating content too. I can't believe how I'm even progressing to browsing boats for sale. Nothing fancy and it probably won't happen soon (if at all), but if I add up how much I spend in a year on travel, mini-breaks and holidays, it sort of starts to make a little bit more sense. I also live on the coast with a marina on one side and a harbour on the other. Thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome, go for it! 😃

[@Time2Live.online]

I'm glad that I'm still alive to see some of these great advances in tech happening. This is so cool, thanks Nick!

[@Kim_Jensen]

Fantastic equipment 🙂I must say, you really make people happy, the joy on that ladys face tells it all 😀

[@origin178]

It's amazing this tech wasn't on a boat _first_ considering the limitless budgets for such things.

[@brucesnyder8910]

I have this on my car. Absolutely makes sense on a boat. Thanks for sharing this video, Nick and keeping us up to date on the technology that is available!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@bigduphusaj162]

used it about 3 times in my car in 3yr. Not interested in screens anymore other than ones that are good for a quick glance for a blind spot. If you try to park the boat in bad conditions soley using this system you will ding your boat.

[@jimmyquinn9639]

That’s brilliant nick 🛥️🚤⛵️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👍👏👍👍👍

[@danielbevan9024]

Hello Rosanne!

[@paulcunningham2859]

I just watched this video. It came in the just the nick of time. What a pleasure to see nick again. Nick provide a brief but succinct explanation of this fascinating garmin product. I think ill go nick one from my local garmin dealer soon.

[@loki7441]

Brilliant. Amazing how technology has advanced. I remember showing my mother her brothers house in Melbourne Australia on Google Earth. She'd never been out there despite his cajoling her and offering to pay her fare. He had a big workshop at the end of his garden where he repaired commercial sawblades. There he was walking back towards the house. What a lucky piece of timing on the part of the satellite. My mother said 'How do you know its him'? Thats the red Arran sweater you sent him twenty years ago, his other is like a ski sweater. He only has the two, as its rarely cold enough to wear them over there. She was gob smacked.😄 You have street view now, nearly see if the postman's been.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, Now that is a great system so from the car to your boat for easy docking at the dock or move away from it even its a short this one still a great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@bigduphusaj162]

dock a boat in bad conditions with one of the garbage birds eye augmented screens from a car? 😂 Nope! as a boater and boat builder this is not what boaters have been asking for from Garmin. They need to sort their reliability out before they fill your vessel with any more "made in china" Can tell whos the real boaters on here

[@jaimiemadden590]

Great application of technology that helps operators manage their vessel; seeing is believing if you’ll excuse the pun Nice presentation thank you Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@brianpurcell9058]

Nice bit of tech ! Always a pleasure! 👍

[@bigduphusaj162]

been about since 2005 there is a ship version in 2018. Garmin are pulling an Apple

[@mickemike2148]

Rosanne was the highlight this video!

[@hr8479]

The top down image doesn't seem right somehow. From 1:25 in the video, the person in red is on the left of the screen in the rear view, albeit on the starboard side of the boat, yet in the top down view, they are on the port side. Same with the person in white walking up behind them and the two working on the pontoon. It also seems that the front view camera of the anchor chain is on the correct side in the top down view. Is the stitching set up incorrectly? Does the aft image need to be reversed to fit right on the top down view? The way things are, when that boat moves, then surely it's going to snap in the middle, when the bow turns to port, the stern will turn to starboard in the top down view. Or am I missing something?

[@hr8479]

It's probably the rear view camera that's reversed to simulate a rear view mirror, I suppose. Still, looks weird.

[@junz_7]

You can reverse that stern camera in the settings.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

With more "car" technology finding its way into the boat World, it is becoming far less intimidating to operate single handed in 2024... Thanks Garmin and Nick for demonstrating this cool visual aide.

[@120Livi]

Can i just say that aquaholic videos on a Thursday is just bloody cruel..... I was all set for the weekend and I've still got Friday to get through! 😂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Dammit! Another one for Friday coming. 🙂

[@steadytube]

wow that is awesome very cool,

[@dazzler5012]

Great tech video. Have the technology in my Volvo and love it lol.

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick!

[@algeriasolitaryman3662]

❤❤❤

[@michaels8199]

That has to be super handy for situations where you might be a little short-handed, or having to manoeuvre from inside a closed wheelhouse (such as the one in the video, of course 😁😁)

[@strider6920]

Cool !😊. I love new gadgets ! Thanks Nick 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@rtbinc2273]

Really interesting. I saw something else where a boat berthed itself, like a self parking car. You were asking about other kinds of content - when you do some UK boat-shows there is often a historic boat there also, I saw a sailboat recently in the background and a WW2 motor torpedo boat a year or so back. Doing tours of those would interest me a lot - but then I am a history fan. Also, have you done an older good value boat recently? There isn't an infinite number of them but that is more like what I would get if I did.

[@bobuncle8704]

Brilliant technology 👍👍

[@davidmwood560]

I'm all for technology which makes life easier. However, I'm a great believer in hands-on skills when it comes to boat handling. That's why my rule is: "If I can't park it single-handed, then it's not for me." That's still a very clever system though. Ps. I can park (berth) up to 60 feet, therefore my current boat is under that length.

[@visionist7]

That's already impressive, most houses aren't that big.

[@TheLoveGems]

Amazing

[@schneiderandre9661]

Idée génial pour les gens qui voyage seul sans équipage, il fallait y penser !!

[@mikeb8342]

Nice system. I wonder if the images could also be piped into a DVR for a security/"dash cam" function? Maybe a WIFI enabled DVR for remote viewing and alerts?

[@jamiemcmu]

My 1st Nissan leaf had a fantastic 360" camera system which was in 2015

[@seantwomey396]

This ia smart. Does a FLIR camera integrate with this Garmin system?

[@visionist7]

Now I wanna see this on a plane. They already have nose cam, tail cam and belly cam views. Add wingtip views port & starboard and you can create a composite image. Maybe even whilst in flight.

[@Blanchy10]

So the overhead image (drone view) is a stock still of the boat with live footage of the surrounds? I noticed that as people boarded the stern they disappeared of the overhead shot.

[@futtejanas5690]

I remember you, a few years ago, made a video about an "autopilot" system, which could keep the boat in the same position while you e.g. tied the boat. would the 2 programs work together? can see great advantages for "family operating" boats.

[@futtejanas5690]

@Navy1977 as I recall, this "autopilot" program only worked in it for a relatively limited distance, between 0.5 and 2.0m, which is fine when you just need to moor to the dock. but I saw opportunities in being able to navigate in busy areas, possibly during entry, where a "bird's eye view" would be able to help keep you clear of obstacles. a bit like "lane assistance" in new cars, takes control and corrects if you miss the road lane.

[@mytube001]

Great concept, but I feel they could add more cameras. 2-3 each side of the hull and two on the transom and one at the bow, to give proper coverage right next to the hull. Then four on the superstructure to give wide-field coverage.

[@AJDT40]

When i glanced at the thumbnail i thought you had installed it in your boat😃

[@johnnybuss5637]

My car V90cc has 360 camera and I ❤️ it. Must be amazing on a boat.

[@keithianlocke]

Superb development. The next level would be to integrate one of those 360degree cameras, that some youtubers and property agents use, up on the mast. The ones which the viewer can scroll around the screen to change viewing direction. That way, the person viewing screen can look in all 360degrees without having to move around bridge to look out of windows/doors etc. Just think AIS shows another vessel approaching from behind at speed. The captain can spin the 360 view on screen to face behind and keep a constant check on the approaching vessel. And when it's no longer relevant, the screen can be focused elsewhere.

[@keithianlocke]

@Navy1977 lol. It would be cool to be able to tap a vessel on the AIS, and the 360 camera auto rotated and focused on the vessel. Would also be a good system for making interactive yachting videos.

[@philmcmaster2770]

I have to ask. How is Marrianne ? It’s went very quiet

[@stevengross8698]

Unfortunately, there was no information in regard to camera model identification, warranty, surface mount vs. flush mount, or width of view for each camera.

[@biglee6664]

are they low light also ?

[@mantas6293]

I understand that Nick is not too much into technology... this is called Omniview technology, which in cars was introduced in 2007. And Garmin introduced this boat surround system in 2021. but it's cute to see the excitment of people when they eventually find technology.. be it in a new Audi, or a boat...

[@gusdiamond8243]

Hi, Nick is this system wired or wireless

[@762223100]

Don't encourage them Nick, we will have driverless boats soon 😱 Can't work out how the camera looking down is mounted unless it is an imposed model of the boat and fed from a number of cameras. Very clever. Useful as you say docking a boat with limited visibility. Good one.

[@CraigNiel]

There is no camera looking down, the software inserts a pic of the boat and then stitches the camera pictures together around that pic to make it look like a birds eye view.

[@762223100]

I did wonder that thanks. @@CraigNiel

[@deputydd4364]

The modern car ones are even better. They use software to make it look like you are outside the car looking at it when trying to move in tight spot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2WWpqCjbbqaj68si=7HSHjvzXEHKO9NzP

[@paulcunningham2859]

Cool

[@carysw8967]

That is really clever, but I don't understand how they get the overhead views?

[@nicbennett6554]

Cool but if kit, but this all looks very similar to Ramarine docksense from around 4yrs ago?!

[@alisavas9526]

My kind of tech on land and water (I curb all my cars ☹)

[@fnikacevic]

This feature is the only way my VW is comparable to a yacht

[@deputydd4364]

This type of camera was a £350 option on my car (4 cameras). I’m guessing on a boat they’ll charge you £25,000 for the same system!!

[@ohwowthatsgood]

about $17k
