Faria Chesepeake Black 4" Studded Speedometer - 60MPH (GPS)

$159.99 USD

Product Description

The Chesapeake Black 4" Studded Speedometer is a state-of-the-art GPS speedometer designed specifically for marine and boating applications. It serves as a seamless drop-in replacement for your existing gauge, offering enhanced accuracy and reliability to complement your vessel's instrument dashboard.

Advanced GPS Technology

Powered by an internal GPS antenna, the Chesapeake Black Speedometer eliminates the need for external antennas, simplifying installation and maintenance. Equipped with a high-precision 48-channel GPS receiver, it ensures exceptional speed accuracy of ±1 MPH. This makes it a superior choice for those seeking dependable performance on the water.

Enhanced Display Features

The speedometer not only displays speed but also offers Course Over Ground (COG) and actual heading (compass heading over ground) on an optional digital LCD screen. The speed data is conveyed through an analog pointer, driven by a digital stepper motor that minimizes pointer bounce and ensures smooth, accurate readings even during vigorous vessel operations. The premium LED back-lit dials provide clear visibility in various lighting conditions.
