There are then 2 satellites that are in “testing” and 2 more are marked as not available. This means the satellite is working and adds to the service provision. There are currently 22 satellites in usable condition. It joins the GPS and GLONASS systems and offers mariners a 3rd reliable positioning source. Galileo is the new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that has been in development over the past two decades. If a longer cable or the MOB feature is required, it is best to utilise the GPS160 (standard NMEA version) with our USB-NMEA adaptor cable.
#NMEA USB GPS RECEIVER INSTALL#
Once you install the GPS160 USB GPS antenna, the host PC creates a virtual COM port so navigation programs can receive positioning data. It powers itself from the USB source (PC, MAC or Linux). The GPS160USB GPS antenna variant ships with a 16 ft USB cable. This includes single GNSS operation (eg Galileo only) as well as output configurations such as update rate, NMEA sentence structure etc. The device has a variety of modes through field programming. The USB model features the GPS antenna with USB cable. It can also combine one external Raymarine SeaTalk1 data source with GPS and AIS messages. TriNav™ software technology also improves positioning inaccuracy that could occur through spoofing and local interference. QK-A027 is a compact dual channel, VHF AIS receiver and is able to receive information from both AIS frequencies simultaneously. This stand alone unit requires an external GPS antenna for most applications. 3 simultaneous data output connections: NMEA 2000 network. When set, data can also output at up to 18Hz for smoother plotter track displays. Simply plug and play with your NMEA 2000 network for the ultimate convenience, no configuration required. Therefore, providing exceptional position accuracy and redundancy. This is a new, high performance positioning sensor using GPS, Glonass and the new Galileo satellite systems. Digital Yacht have unveiled their TriNav™ GPS160.
