Maretron is now shipping its newest GPS antenna/receivers (GPS200s) with the most up-to-date World Magnetic Model available.” says Mr. Larry Anderson, Maretron’s VP of Sales & Marketing. “Furthermore, existing Maretron GPSs in the field can be upgraded to provide the most accurate variation data available using Maretron’s NMEA 2000®/USB gateway (USB100).”

Maretron’s GPS200 is a state-of-the-art 32 channel GPS antenna/ receiver capable of producing five position fixes per second. The GPS200 has unprecedented sensitivity and can even be mounted underneath a fibreglass deck. An additional benefit of the GPS200 is that it broadcasts precision magnetic variation information using the current position and World Magnetic Model (WMM2010).

The GPS200 automatically decodes GPS correction signals from Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) including the North American Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS), or the Asian Multifunctional Transport Satellite based Augmentation System (MSAS) to provide better than 2.5m accuracy.

The GPS200 is easily mounted to any 1” standard marine mount with its standard 1”–14″ male threads. It can also be mounted directly to a deck.

SM GROUP (Europe) Ltd are the Maretron Distributor for the United Kingdom and Ireland and officially launched the Maretron product line at the London International Boat Show at the Excel Centre in London, UK.
