ZDIGGPS160N2K - Digital Yacht GPS160 TriNav Sensor w/iKonvert NMEA 2000 Interface Bundle

GPS160 TriNav Sensor w/iKonvert NMEA 2000 Interface Bundle

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 with iKonvert NMEA 2000 Interface Bundle, part number ZDIGGPS160N2K, is a positioning sensor designed for IT and marine professionals requiring precise and reliable location data. This unit utilizes GPS, Galileo, and Glonass satellite systems simultaneously via TriNav technology to achieve sub-1 meter accuracy. It addresses the need for robust positioning performance and redundancy in environments where consistent navigation data is critical. The included iKonvert interface facilitates direct integration into NMEA 2000 systems, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for additional drop cables. The sensor can be field-programmed for specific GNSS operation modes, output configurations, and update rates up to 18Hz. It also supports an external MOB switch, generating a synthesized AIS SART MOB message for local plotter interface, enhancing safety protocols. This bundle is suitable for applications requiring high-accuracy positioning and flexible NMEA 2000 connectivity.
