Orca navigation systems, founded by former Navico employees in 2020, integrate mobile devices with boat instrumentation to simplify coastal navigation and route planning. The system centers on the Orca Core, a hardware unit that connects to a vessel’s NMEA 2000 network to provide GPS, compass data, and sailing-specific wind processing. This hardware allows users to bridge the gap between mobile apps and fixed-mount chartplotters, enabling the use of tablets as primary displays. The Orca Tablet features a high-brightness, anti-reflective screen and temperature-resistant battery designed for marine environments. The software emphasizes clean, paper-chart-inspired aesthetics and includes automated weather routing that syncs with planned passages to help sailors optimize departure times based on wind forecasts. Additionally, the system crowdsources depth data from connected vessels to improve chart accuracy in areas where official hydrographic data is limited. The platform supports integration with existing radar systems, including Raymarine and Simrad units, via Ethernet connections.
