Overview
The G2 Satellite Compass is a state-of-the-art electronic navigation data device. It is
capable of providing highly accurate, high-precision position and heading data to a wide
variety of marine Navigation equipment, such as autopilots, sonar, radar, chart-plotters,
AIS receivers & transponders, and many other types of marine devices & systems.
The G2 features fast start-up and signal re-acquisition times, heading & position updates
at up to 20 times per second, and can operate at sustained turn rates up to 90° per
second.
The G2 is a complete Satellite Compass in a single rugged, marine-grade enclosure. It
needs only one single power/data cable, which greatly simplifies installation.
The G2 operates in both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 environments, giving users more
freedom of installation, with the ability to interface with multiple variations of navigation
systems.
The images below depict a typical installation of the NMEA 2000 G2 system (Figure 1)
and NMEA 0183 (Figure 2 ).
