The NSS16 evo2 combines an intuitive 16-inch multifunction display with built-in GPS, StructureScan® HD imaging, and CHIRP sonar. Easy integration means you can share charts, waypoints and more between multiple on-board displays, and expand your system with a wide range of accessories. Includes Insight USA charts.
Original price was: $1,299.00.$1,000.00Current price is: $1,000.00.
The Simrad NSS16 evo2 is a 16-inch marine multifunction display combining chartplotting, GPS navigation, integrated sonar and vessel-system control. This configuration includes Insight USA charts and provides touchscreen and keypad/rotary controls, making it suitable for helm, flybridge and other marine installations. The unit can also connect to compatible radar, autopilot, sonar, engines and onboard systems through its marine networking interfaces.
The NSS16 evo2 uses a 16-inch HD widescreen display with a 1366 x 768 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen is specified at 1000 nits and provides wide viewing angles of up to 80 degrees top and bottom and 85 degrees left and right.
The display can be controlled through its touchscreen interface or the physical keypad and rotary dial. Having both control methods is useful on a working helm where changing settings or navigating menus with physical controls can be preferable in rough conditions.
The NSS16 evo2 includes an internal GPS receiver with a 10 Hz update rate and support for WAAS, MSAS and EGNOS. The system supports up to 6,000 waypoints, 500 routes with up to 100 route points each, and 50 tracks with up to 12,000 track points per track.
This navigation capacity makes the display suitable for route planning, waypoint management, track recording and repeat navigation. The supplied Insight USA charts provide the charting foundation for this configuration, while the system also supports compatible Insight, Navionics and C-MAP chart products.
The NSS16 evo2 combines chartplotting with integrated sonar capability. The product specification identifies CHIRP sonar and StructureScan HD, giving the display fishfinding and bottom-imaging functions in addition to navigation.
StructureScan HD provides detailed imaging of underwater structure, while compatible CHIRP sonar equipment can be used for fish detection and bottom tracking. The system can also work with compatible SonarHub, BSM-1, BSM-2 and BSM-3 network echo sounders.
Additional sonar functionality requires the appropriate transducer or external sonar hardware. Confirm the required transducer and module before installation if you intend to use specific imaging modes.
The NSS evo2 platform supports expansion beyond its integrated sonar functions. Compatible StructureScan and ForwardScan equipment can add additional underwater views, while external network sounders can extend the system’s sonar capabilities.
This makes the NSS16 evo2 suitable for installations that may grow over time. The display can remain the central interface while additional sonar, radar and navigation equipment is added to the vessel.
The NSS16 evo2 can form part of a broader Simrad marine electronics system. The product specification lists compatibility with Broadband Radar, Halo Pulse Compression Radar and HD Pulse radar. It also supports full autopilot control and commissioning when connected to a compatible Simrad autopilot system.
With compatible equipment connected to the network, the multifunction display can provide a central location for navigation and vessel-system information rather than requiring a separate display for every function.
The NSS16 evo2 provides industry-standard marine connectivity for integrating multiple devices. It includes one NMEA 2000 Micro-C port and two Ethernet connections. NMEA 0183 support provides additional compatibility with marine equipment using that communication standard.
The system can be integrated with compatible engines, fuel-management equipment, audio systems, radar, sonar and autopilot equipment. The exact information available on the display depends on the connected devices and supported NMEA data.
The NSS16 evo2 includes two composite video inputs using RCA connectors and an HDMI output. The HDMI output is fixed at 1366 x 768 according to the product specification.
This allows the display image to be mirrored on another compatible screen, which can be useful for a saloon display or another viewing position on the vessel. A separate video/data cable is required for the composite video inputs.
This configuration includes Insight USA charts. The display also supports other compatible chart formats, including Insight, Navionics Gold and NAV Platinum, and C-MAP products listed in the product specification.
Chart coverage and functionality depend on the chart card and geographic region. If you plan to operate outside the United States, confirm the appropriate chart coverage before purchasing additional mapping.

The 16-inch display can be bracket mounted, panel mounted or flush mounted. Measure the available helm space before installation and allow room behind the display for power, Ethernet, NMEA, video and other cables.
The specified supply range is 9–31.2 V DC, with a recommended 5 A fuse. When building a networked installation, plan the NMEA 2000 backbone and Ethernet connections before mounting the display so that all connected equipment can be serviced without unnecessary cable strain.
If sonar is a primary requirement, confirm the transducer and any external sonar module needed for the specific sonar technology you intend to use. The display’s integrated sonar functions do not eliminate the need for compatible transducers or network sounders for every operating mode.
The NSS16 evo2 is suited to boat owners who want a large multifunction display that combines navigation, chartplotting and sonar while also serving as an interface for a wider marine electronics network. The physical keypad and rotary controller provide an alternative to touchscreen operation, while the 16-inch display offers substantial chart and sonar viewing area.
It can be used for recreational boating, sportfishing, cruising and other marine applications where integrated navigation and expandable electronics are important.
The product listing identifies this configuration as the Simrad NSS16 evo2 with Insight charts and states that Insight USA charts are included. The listing does not provide a complete separate in-box accessory inventory, so additional installation components should be confirmed before purchase.
If you are comparing this display with other marine GPS systems, consider screen size, chart coverage, sonar requirements, networking ports, mounting options and compatibility with the electronics already installed on your boat.
