The pricing of B&G MFD's, alone or in combo with 4G radar, has dropped a whole lot. New pricing strategy or are new products on the way ???

In a UK sailing magazine (Yachting Monthly) I saw a full page advert for a new B&G MFD - B&G Vulcan 7"
Not much online, there is the user manual and documentation here:

Seems it is a touch screen only model. Includes built in wifi. Allows 3 way screen split (vs 2 way on 7" Zeus2)

B&G have updated their website:

Those are the old models, not the new Zeus2.
That wasn't clear .. Thanks Kees!
Hi Jamie, good find! Seems likely as HDS 3 was released a few months ago with built in WiFi as well.
Interestingly, Vulcan seems to be 7" only and with zero physical keys. According to B&G it is intended for lower end installations compared to Zeus2. As such I think it is used to compete against Raymarine's "a" series.
