Different Kinds of Marine GPS Systems

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Dean Tate

Marine gps as a specialized adaptation of current gps (global positioning system) technologies that allow it to be used for navigation on water. These marine gps systems can be used for sightseeing activities, navigating a ship in bad weather, or just for plotting or steering a course and can be utilized with a variety of marine applications. Although gps had already realized and overcome limitations of previous navigation systems and has been in existence since 1973 as a United States Department of Defense (DOD) project, only in the last decade and a half has this technology become accessible to average consumers.

It provides reliable location and time information at any time and in all kinds of weather, anywhere on or near the Earth's surface, making this space-based global navigation satellite system the most popular means of obtaining this kind of data. Unobstructed line of sight to at least four of the orbiting gps satellites is required for a navigator equipped with marine gps systems to take advantage of digitally precise orientation and velocity measurements. Your navigation system's built-in features will largely be decided by your allotted budget. Purchase only the functionality that you need and remember your needs as a navigator.

These systems come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small handhelds to large units that are mounted onto navigation stations, and are also available on a variety of platforms that can be paired or linked with desktop or laptop computers, built into cellular phones that improve the phone's functionality, or as stand-alone systems such as you would expect with a marine gps handheld used by fishermen. If you are a casual fisherman or a hobbyist that kayaks on area rivers, a handheld device should suffice. On the other hand if you prefer to cruise on larger boats from port to port or perhaps choose to fish a little further offshore, then a gps system with a larger screen mounted to your ship's navigation station will better suit your needs. You can typically expect to shell out around $200 for entry-level handhelds, but it should be noted that not all portable gps systems are waterproof or ideal for marine conditions. Chartplotters, or fixed-mount gps systems generally come with larger and more readable screens and more functionality and will start costing you around $900. Other multi-function marine electronics have gps built-in along with radar and fishfinders with price tags that go upwards of $4000. Remember that there are many brands out there so you should shop around and try any and every unit out for its features before you decide on a system of your choice.
