DIGITAL YACHT | GPS160 NMEA 0183

The GPS160 is a new high-performance positioning sensor that uses GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo satellite positioning systems to provide exceptional reliability and positioning accuracy. This version features an NMEA 0183 interface.

Digital Yacht presents the GPS160, its new NMEA 0183 GPS antenna. This high-performance positioning sensor utilizes GPS, Galileo, and Glonass satellite systems to achieve exceptional positioning accuracy. The typical accuracy is approximately 1 meter, and the data output can be configured up to 18 Hz for smoother display on chartplotters.

Our TriNav technology combines signals from all three systems to calculate position with the highest accuracy and reliability. Galileo is the new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that has been developed over the past two decades.

The GPS160 is available with NMEA 0183 output (4800, 38400, or 115200 baud) and also in a USB version for PC, Mac, and Linux. For NMEA 2000 systems, there is a package with iKonvert, allowing easy installation on the NMEA 2000 network without requiring an NMEA 2000 cable. Additionally, SeaTalk and WiFi versions of the GPS160 are also available.

The GPS160 also supports the MOB (Man Overboard) function. When enabled, the GPS160 transmits an AIS Man Overboard alert via its NMEA output, which can be connected to a chartplotter to send and display the MOB alert on the screen.

Specifications:

• NMEA 0183 GPS Antenna for Boats
• 72-channel GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo GNSS positioning receiver. 
• Typically achieves accuracy of less than 1 meter thanks to QuadNav™ technology, which combines all satellite data for optimal precision. 
• Can be configured as a dedicated receiver for GPS, Glonass, Beidou, or Galileo signals.
• Advanced anti-spoofing algorithm for optimal positioning and interference rejection.
• Available in NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 (with iKonvert interface), WiFi (with WLN10), and USB versions for PC/Mac. 
• User-configurable NMEA 0183 baud rate via integrated DIP switches. 
• Update rate up to 18 Hz (user-selectable). 
• Low power consumption (<20mA) at 12V DC. 
• MOB (Man Overboard) function – when enabled, the GPS160 transmits an AIS MOB message via the NMEA interface to trigger the MOB position on the chartplotter.
• Compatible with professional systems (ECDIS) with datum sentence structure (DTM/GBS/GNS/GRS/GSA/GST). 
• Can be surface-mounted or installed on a 14 TPI threaded antenna mount (not included). 
• DGMM-approved GPS antenna.
