The housing is rated IPX7 and measures about 90 mm in diameter by 38 mm high, which fits common deck, coachroof, arch, and mast installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with GPS position data, it can share heading plus heel and trim information across the network for functions like head-up chart orientation, radar overlay, and sailing performance displays on compatible systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition updates up to 10 Hz for smoother tracking while turning and accelerating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs magnetic heading on NMEA 2000 for chart stabilization and radar overlay on compatible displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGPS and Galileo support with augmentation (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS) and QZSS readiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 Micro-C network connection with a 2 LEN load on the backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIPX7 waterproof rating for exposed mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size (90 mm diameter, 38 mm height) with a 0.5 m compass-safe distance guideline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and network integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ZG100 outputs data on NMEA 2000 only and is powered from the NMEA 2000 backbone. It can be selected as the GPS and heading source from compatible network displays, and it does not output NMEA 0183 sentences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeading from a GPS\/compass sensor is commonly used for chart display stabilization and radar overlay. If your system requires a rate compass for advanced radar tracking or autopilot functions, match those requirements before relying on this sensor for those features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall it where it has a clear view of the sky and connect it to the NMEA 2000 backbone with a T-connector, with the backbone properly terminated. It supports surface mounting and standard pole mounting on a 1 inch, 14 TPI mount. After mounting, run a heading calibration from a compatible display and complete the on-water calibration routine so the compass can account for local magnetic influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003ePlacement and interference notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eGPS and compass sensors are sensitive to interference. Keep it away from VHF antennas, radar scanners, radio transmitters, speakers, magnets, and high-current cabling, and maintain at least 0.5 m (20 in) from a magnetic compass. When space allows, extra separation improves heading stability and reduces dropouts when electronics are transmitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for boats where the chartplotter is mounted under a hardtop or inside the cabin and needs a GPS source placed outside for a better sky view. It also fits NMEA 2000 sailing systems that want heading plus heel and trim data available to instruments and performance pages without adding separate sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN2K-T-RD network T-connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 6 ft network extension cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the housing with fresh water after saltwater use and check the cable connection for strain and a snug collar. If you remove and reinstall the sensor or change its location, rerun heading calibration to account for the new magnetic environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026G","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269378896053,"sku":"QBP996538","price":305.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299903_qbp996538.jpg?v=1771543662"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/collections\/gps-antennas.oembed","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
