Digital Yacht GPS160 TriNav Sensor with NMEA 0183 Output for Accurate Marine Navigation

GPS160 TriNav Sensor with NMEA 0183 Output

The GPS160, a high performance positioning sensor using GPS, Galileo and Glonass satellite systems for exceptional positioning accuracies and redundancies.

TriNav technology allows all three systems to be simultaneously utilized for navigation. The device can also be field programmed for a variety of modes such as single GNSS operation (eg Galileo only) as well as output configurations such as update rate, NMEA sentence structure etc

The GPS160 is available with a NMEA 0183 output (4800, 38400 and 115200 baud programmable) and a USB variant for PC, MAC and Linux. For NMEA 2000 systems, a bundle is available with iKonvert allowing easy and flexible NMEA 2000 installation without the need for cumbersome drop cables.

The GPS160 also support an external MOB switch or device. When activated, it creates a synthesized AIS SART MOB message on the NMEA output which can be interfaced with a local plotter for MOB identification.

The GPS160 supports GPS, Glonass and Galileo positioning. Our TriNav technology is used to combine signals from all three systems to compute the best possible fix accuracy and reliability.

Galileo is the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that has been developed over the past two decades. It joins the GPS and GLONASS systems and offers mariners a 3rd reliable positioning source. It is planned to be fully operational in 2020.

The Digital Yacht GPS160 TriNav Sensor is a high-performance positioning device designed for marine navigation and vessel tracking applications. Equipped with a sophisticated 72-channel GNSS receiver, it utilizes GPS, Glonass, and Galileo satellite systems simultaneously, ensuring exceptional accuracy and redundancy. This multi-constellation approach allows the GPS160 to deliver typically sub-1 meter positioning accuracy by combining signals from all three systems through TriNav technology, providing mariners with reliable and precise location data even in challenging environments. The device is configurable for dedicated GPS, Glonass, or Galileo operation, providing flexibility to suit various navigation needs. It incorporates an advanced anti-spoofing algorithm that enhances positioning robustness by rejecting interference and ensuring signal integrity, which is critical in safety-sensitive maritime operations. The GPS160 supports high update rates up to 18Hz, allowing for real-time tracking and swift response to vessel movements. The device can output data via NMEA 0183 at programmable baud rates (4800, 38400, and 115200), with multiple NMEA formats and datum options accessible through internal DIP switches. An optional USB version is available for seamless connection to PC, Mac, and Linux systems, facilitating integration with navigation software. For NMEA 2000 networks, a bundle with iKonvert offers easy installation and configuration without cumbersome cabling. Additionally, the GPS160 supports external MOB switches or devices, which, when activated, generate synthetic AIS MOB messages on the NMEA output for quick MOB identification on plotters, enhancing safety protocols. Its robust design includes a standard industry mount compatible with third-party equipment, and it consumes less than 20mA at 12V DC, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. The device's versatile configuration options and comprehensive output formats make it an ideal choice for professional ECDIS systems, ensuring reliable, high-precision navigation data in demanding maritime environments.
