The GPS150 DualNav positioning sensor

Digital Yacht’s GPS150 utilises the industry standard NMEA data format allowing older chart plotters as well as current generation products to take advantage of this new technology.  The GPS150 also allows the user to select a variety of different NMEA baud rates (4800, 38400 and 115200) for maximum flexibility. It also supports a new TurboNav^TM mode which will appeal to racing yachtsmen and performance users where GPS/GLONASS data is output at 10Hz (10 times faster update than normal) and with an interface speed of 115200 baud which is 24 times the speed of normal NMEA data.  This massively improves slow speed navigation data as well as providing the best course and speed data in a dynamic situation.  Tracks, position data and heading displayed on chart plotters will be noticably smoother and more responsive with 10Hz navigation.
