Since introducing the world's first automatic Loran-A product over 35 years ago, the Northstar name has been synonymous with best-in-class, high-performance navigation solutions.
Through the years, Northstar continued driving innovation with early Loran-C GPS-based products; setting user interface and ease-of-use standards competitors strive to replicate.
In 2003, Northstar was purchased by the Brunswick corporation. The world leader in recreational boating, Brunswick recognized the value of the Northstar name on Brunswick's premium boat brands and the organization's ability to help drive its vision of a fully integrated boat.
2004 brought the introduction of the 6000i, Northstar's most successful and popular integrated device that seamlessly combined chartplotting, sonar, radar and video in one package.
In 2005, Northstar introduced a series of instruments, radios and autopilots to complement its navigation products.
New for 2006, Northstar introduces the 8000i: the world's most powerful, integrated networked navigation and entertainment system. The 8000i once again redefines marine electronics.
