  1. What is the difference between true wind relative to the ground and true wind relative to the water?What is the difference between true wind relative to the ground and true wind relative to the water?
    True wind is computed by subtracting the vessel speed from the apparent wind. The vessel speed is either referenced to the water (Speed Through Water (STW)) or the vessel speed is referenced to the gr...

  2. Which Maretron products are required for me to display true wind relative to ground?Which Maretron products are required for me to display true wind relative to ground?
    In order to display true wind relative to ground you will need a WSO100, a GPS100, a SSC200, and a display capable of computing true wind relative to ground. The WSO100 measures the apparent wind whil...

  3. Which Maretron products are necessary in order to display ground wind?Which Maretron products are necessary in order to display ground wind?
    In addition to a Maretron display product (DSM200, DSM250, or N2KView), you will need the following Maretron sensors in order to display ground wind. You will need a SSC200 compass (for vessel heading...

  4. What are the Voltage specifications for each Maretron device?What are the Voltage specifications for each Maretron device?
    Maretron Model Operating Voltage Engine/Battery Interface USB100 9 to 16 Volts ...

  5. Why doesn't the SSC200 compass transmit true heading?Why doesn't the SSC200 compass transmit true heading?
    The SSC200 is a magnetic compass, which means that it measures the direction of Earth's magnetic field relative to the magnetic poles (magnetic heading). This is different than a gyrocompass, which me...

  6. I navigate using true heading and not magnetic heading, how do I use the SSC200 compass and Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display to view my heading in true?I navigate using true heading and not magnetic heading, how do I use the SSC200 compass and Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display to view my heading in true?
    The SSC200 compass outputs heading information in magnetic form and before the DSM200 or DSM250 displays can show true heading, the variation must be known. One source of variation is the Maretron GPS...

  7. I navigate using true heading and not magnetic heading; how do I use the SSC200 compass and N2KView software to view my heading in true?I navigate using true heading and not magnetic heading; how do I use the SSC200 compass and N2KView software to view my heading in true?
    The SSC200 compass outputs heading information in magnetic form and before N2KView can display true heading, the variation must be known. One source of variation is the Maretron GPS antenna/receiver (...

  8. What is variation?What is variation?
    The difference in direction between the magnetic North pole (magnetic North) and the direction to the Earth's rotational North pole (true North) is referred to as variation. Variation changes dependin...

  9. What is a GPS100?What is a GPS100?
    The GPS100 is a 12 channel global positioning system antenna and receiver with Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) capabilities. This includes SBAS for North America (WAAS), Europe (EGNOS), and...

  10. What information does the GPS100 provide?What information does the GPS100 provide?
    The GPS100 provides the following information; 1) latitude and longitude, 2) time and date, 3) Course Over Ground (COG), 4) Speed Over Ground (SOG) , 5) magnetic variation, and 6) satellite informatio...

  11. What messages (or PGNs) does the GPS100 transmit?What messages (or PGNs) does the GPS100 transmit?
    The GPS100 transmits the following messages (or PGNs): PGN 126992 - System Time (Fields: 1-SID, 2-Time Source) PGN 128259 - Speed (Fields: 1-SID, 2-Speed Water Referenced, 3- Speed Ground Refer...

  12. How do I know if the GPS100 is locked on and producing a fix using Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?How do I know if the GPS100 is locked on and producing a fix using Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
    You display whether or not the GPS100 has a fix on a DSM200 or DSM250 in the following way. Enter menu mode, scroll to "Favorite Screen Setup..." and press enter. Scroll to the favorite screen where y...

  13. Why won't the GPS100 lock on and produce a fix?Why won't the GPS100 lock on and produce a fix?
    The GPS100 may not lock on and provide a fix for several reason. First, the GPS100 needs a clear view of the entire sky so you need to make sure the GPS100 is not obstructed by a deck house, TV antenn...

  14. How do I display UTC from the GPS100 on Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?How do I display UTC from the GPS100 on Maretron's DSM200 or DSM250 display?
