The WSO100 is generally placed at the highest point on the vessel so that it is not obstructed from the wind. Unfortunately, the highest point on a vessel is often the worst possible placement for a GPS or compass. Take for example a GPS mounted at... Read More
GPS100(Discontinued)
Under extraordinary circumstances, the GPS100 goes into a deep signal search mode. When this occurs, it can take several minutes (sometimes as much as 12 minutes) before the GPS100 gathers enough information to provide a valid fix. This mode of... Read More
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 Asia (MSAS). The GPS100 provides time and date,... Read More
The GPS100 can be mounted to a flat surface or it can be mounted with the supplied pole mount. The GPS100 pole mount threads onto a standard marine 1", 14 threads per inch pole. Always mount or dismount the GPS100 with the three screws that hold the... Read More
Yes, the GPS100 supports Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) including the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). Read More
The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) specifies a default transmission rate for all NMEA 2000 messages. The default transmission rate for position is 10 times per second, which Maretron adheres to even though the GPS100 only computes a... Read More
Yes, the GPS100 supports Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) including the North American Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), and the Asian Multi-functional Satellite... Read More
The GPS100 computes Course Over Ground (COG) by observing prior fixes or positions and extrapolating the direction of travel from those fixes. If the vessel is not moving, then the GPS100 can not extrapolate the direction of travel and the readings... Read More
The GPS100 is approximately 4" in diameter and 1.65" tall not including the supplied pole mount. Read More
