PC Nav System with GPS & NMEA 0183

The latest Aqua Compact Pro PC brings affordable and reliable PC based navigation to boats. With low power, DC operation, it boasts the latest Intel technology – built in WiFi and bluetooth and a solid state hard drive with 8GB RAM. Despite its slim line 11.5 x 11 x 5 cm dimensions, the Aqua PC packs in a powerful 10th generation Intel Core i3 processor with exceptional graphics performance for the latest 3D charting and HD navigation programs. It’s the perfect partner for applications like Maxsea TimeZero – even with radar and 3D overlays.

The PC comes with either the S185 or the S124 . The S185 is a hi-brightness, great value daylight viewing 18.5″ LCD touch screen monitor. It’s large 18.5” screen supports 1920×1080 resolution. The S124 is a 23.5” HD LCD marine monitor (non touch screen) designed for below deck or internal dash mounting.  It features a 1920 x 1080 pixel display with 2M:1 contrast ratio for bright colour and vibrant displays.

The GPS160 TriNav sensor provides GPS, Galileo & Glonass positioning inputs with typical sub 1m accuracy. When set, data can also output at up to 18Hz for smoother plotter track displays. The GPS160 antenna ships with a 5m USB cable. It powers itself from the USB source. Once you install the GPS160 USB antenna, the host PC creates a virtual COM port so navigation programs can receive positioning data.

The NMEA0183 to USB adapter converts NMEA 0183 data, used by many marine systems, into a USB format that can be plugged into most modern computers. The adapter is a bi-directional device.
