Vetus Electronic Compass/GPS

Order No: 32100

The VETUS electronic compass and GPS indicates botht the vessel heading and positional data on the same display. The compass course (true or magnetic) is shown on a large scale digital display, together with an analogue moving bar indicator at the top of the screen. In the lower part of the screen, the relevant GPS data is displayed in degrees of longitude and latitude. A simple push button menu also allows the time, the date, the log, the trip computer or the boat speed to be shown. The latter three functions are calculated from the GPS data. It is possible to connect more than one display to the sensor unit, for example a VETUS electronic compass. All indicating units have a NMEA0183 interface, allowing easy interconnection of the instruments. The VETUS electronic compass and GPS comes complete with a solid combined compass/GPS sensor and 10 metres of connection cable.
