$246.99 USD $289.95

Product Description

The GPS160 TriNav Sensor with USB Output is a state-of-the-art positioning solution designed specifically for marine and boating applications. Leveraging multiple satellite systems, it ensures precise and reliable navigation, enhancing your boating experience with unparalleled accuracy and robust performance.

Product Overview

The GPS160 is a high-performance GNSS positioning sensor that integrates GPS, Galileo, and Glonass satellite systems. This tri-system capability provides exceptional accuracy and redundancy, ensuring reliable navigation even in challenging conditions. Whether you're cruising coastal waters or navigating open seas, the GPS160 delivers the precise positioning data you need.

TriNav Technology for Superior Accuracy

At the heart of the GPS160 is TriNav technology, which simultaneously utilizes GPS, Galileo, and Glonass signals to calculate the most accurate position possible. This multi-constellation approach not only enhances accuracy but also improves reliability by offering multiple data sources for positioning.

  • 72-channel GNSS Receiver: Supports GPS, Glonass, and Galileo for comprehensive satellite coverage.
  • Sub-Meter Accuracy: Achieves typically less than 1-meter accuracy by combining data from all three satellite systems.
  • Anti-Spoofing Algorithms: Ensures robust positioning performance and rejects interference for secure navigation.

Flexible Configuration and Outputs

The GPS160 offers versatile configuration options to meet diverse marine applications. Whether you need standard NMEA outputs or a USB connection for your PC or MAC, the GPS160 has you covered.

  • Output Variants: Available in NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 (with iKonvert interface), and USB for PC/MAC/Linux.
  • Configurable Baud Rates: Supports 4800, 38400, and 115200 baud rates through simple internal DIP switches.
  • Update Rates: User-selectable up to 18Hz to match your navigation needs.
  • NMEA Sentence Customization: Multiple formats, including datum information, configurable via DIP switches.

Advanced Safety Features

Enhance your vessel's safety with the GPS160's integrated MOB (Man Overboard) functionality. By connecting an external MOB switch or device, the GPS160 can generate a synthesized AIS SART MOB message, allowing for immediate MOB identification on your local plotter.
