Digital Yacht have unveiled their TriNav™ GPS160. This is a new high performance positioning sensor using GPS Glonass and the new Galileo satellite systems. Therefore providing exceptional position accuracy and redundancy. Typical accuracy is better than 1m. When set data can also output at up to 18Hz for smoother plotter track displays. TriNav™ software technology also improves positioning inaccuracy that could occur through spoofing and local interference. The USB model features the GPS antenna with USB cable.

The device has a variety of modes through field programming. This includes single GNSS operation (eg Galileo only) as well as output configurations such as update rate NMEA sentence structure etc.

The GPS160USB GPS antenna variant ships with a 5m USB cable. It powers itself from the USB source (PC MAC or Linux). Once you install the GPS160 USB GPS antenna the host PC creates a virtual COM port so navigation programs can receive positioning data. If a longer cable or the MOB feature is required it is best to utilise the GPS160 (standard NMEA version) with our USB-NMEA adaptor cable.

Galileo
Galileo is the new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that has been in development over the past two decades. It joins the GPS and GLONASS systems and offers mariners a 3rd reliable positioning source. It is now fully operational as of 2020.

There are currently 22 satellites in usable condition. This means the satellite is working and adds to the service provision. There are then 2 satellites that are in “testing” and 2 more are marked as not available. The final constellation now consists of 30 satellites (24 operational and 6 spares) as of 2020.
