Track Your Buddy Track-Your-Buddy is for safety, teamwork, convenience or just for fun. This great feature allows you to combine your Explorer 721’s DSC position polling with Track-Your-Buddy enabled Chartplotter or Combo units to show the location of up to three boating friends on the chart display. It’s easy to setup: You need a Northstar Explorer 721, the MMSI number of your buddies’ DSC enabled VHF radio, and a Northstar Track-Your-Buddy capable unit. The Explorer 721 will regularly poll your buddies’ position which will then be updated on the Northstar display. A great function for fleet voyages or any application where knowing the location of your boating partner is important.
