Maretron’s GPS Antenna/Receiver (GPS200) provides invaluable information including position, Speed Over Ground (SOG), Course Over Ground (COG), time, date, and magnetic variation. With the information provided by the GPS200, Maretron’s displays are capable of computing additional information such as twilight AM and PM, sunrise, sunset, and moon phase. This example system includes an 8” touchscreen (TSM800C) for displaying information about the GPS system as well as triggering any associated alarms or warnings. Triggered alarms or warnings can be sent off of the vessel using the texting module (SMS100), for example if the boat is moved. The Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100) and WiFi router (E2500) allows the information to be viewed wirelessly on the boat using smartphones and tablets and remotely from the shore with an Internet connection.
The following table shows the products included within this example system plus a list of the information or data available for display.
