Marine gps

Find your way with quality marine GPS

If you plan to go to sea and you do not have a Marine GPSIf you are planning to go to sea and don't have a GPS, you are not ready to take to the sea yet! A Marine GPS is theNavigator Accessory par excellence. It allows you to define your geographic position worldwide by receiving data from satellites. Your choice of marine GPS unit will depend on a number of criteria: waterproofing, type of compatible maps and ease of use. Note that it's sometimes not necessary to buy a GPS if you have a VHF or depth finder that has GPS capability. Note that it is necessary to use a Marine GPS for marine navigation. A traditional GPS will not be suitable because you will not have accurate information on the coastline and other marine features.

The Portable GPS to locate you on any boat

The Portable GPS is a popular product with mariners because it allows you to use your own device on any boat, even a rental boat. The best brands of portable GPS units are Garmin, Raymarine and Humminbird.

Humminbird has developed a very interesting technology for turning a fixed GPS into a portable one. This is the Humminbird Portable GPS/Sounder Conversion Kit which allows you to use your Humminbird equipment anywhere. This Marine GPS Accessory is compatible with the following models HELIX 5HELIX 7, and PiranhaMax 4. A rechargeable battery will be recommended for people who make long boat trips.

Fixed GPS, the best alternative if you own a boat

One of the best selling Fixed GPS on the market is the Humminbird HELIX 5 G2 Fixed GPS Chartplotter. This affordable, high-performance GPS has some very useful navigation features. It also has IPX7 waterproof certification. The Navicom RT 1050 Tactile VHF is a very practical VHF that can provide you with what you're looking for in terms of GPS technology equipment.

Beware of the GPS distress beacon trap

Be careful not to confuse individual GPS beacons with marine GPS units. Although both objects use the same technology, they do not use it in the same way. Owning a Marine GPS will not save your life on its own, as it does not have survival assistance features. A portable GPS beacon will not replace a Marine GPS because it will not give you location information. It will send position information to rescuers if needed over a given period.
