Raymarine LightHouse 4.9 – New Features and Improvements for Axiom

Discover anchor mode, audio integration, video icons, and GNSS support in the latest update

Raymarine has launched LightHouse 4.9, the latest update for all Axiom chartplotters. The update introduces new features, improvements, and optimizations that make your navigation experience even better. Here are the most notable new features:

On-Screen Controls for Anchor Mode

Anchor mode uses GNSS (GPS) to record your position when the anchor reaches the bottom. The system automatically calculates swing and drag circles and warns of anchor drag. In LightHouse 4.9, you can now fine-tune anchor depth, chain length, and anchor position directly via new on-screen controls.

LightHouse 4.9 includes Manufacturer-specific home screen icons for Fusion, Hertz, JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate, and Wet Sounds. In addition, support for JL Audio MediaMaster 105 has been improved with RayNet Ethernet connectivity for a complete interface directly in Axiom.

Support for Multi-Constellation GNSS and Fix Prioritization

LightHouse 4.9 provides support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou. You can enable/disable constellations and prioritize GNSS receivers based on HDOP or signal strength.

Improved Waypoint Entry

Now you can choose between multiple formats for latitude/longitude, including the popular DD.DDDDDD format. In addition, a new button makes it easy to add multiple waypoints in sequence.
