Fixed GPS

Fixed GPS

The fixed marine GPS is a GPS positioner that displays the boat's position on a gray background map.

Unlike a chart-reading GPS, it cannot read nautical charts, which display navigation details (buoys, beacons, lighthouses, riprap, wrecks, etc.)

For mounting on a bracket or flush-mounting on the boat's dashboard, the fixed marine GPS comes with an external GPS antenna for better satellite reception.

You can also install it on the chart table of your polyester or steel sailboat.

What are the functions of a fixed marine GPS?

A fixed marine GPS can be used to create waypoints, memorize fishing spots or create tracks to identify your navigation route.

It also calculates your course over ground (COG), your speed (SOG), the distance to the waypoint, the travel time (ETA), the course deviation (XTE), the distance covered..
