3. best signals from over 50 satellites Wherever you are in the world you now have twice the satellites to choose from resulting in the GPS150 receiver having much better coverage time to first fix and positional accuracy Add to this the new high sensitivity receiver design selectable baud rate and 10Hz position update rate and you have a GPS receiver that is significantly better than every previous marine GPS receiver on the market The new performance is particularly noticeable if the receiver is mounted below deck inside the wheelhouse where the high sensitivity receiver still gives a good position fix or when there are obstructions blocking the view of the sky such as a wet sail shadowing the antenna or when sailing in rivers or close to cliffs plus DualNav technology with more satellites to choose from gives a much more accurate fix On larger boats it is now possible to have two completely separate position sources not just two GPS units but two different positioning systems so that you can compare and validate your actual position Set one GPS150 to GPS mode and another GPS150 to GLONASS mode and you have dual redundancy and two independent positioning systems The GPS150 also supports SBAS Satellite Based Augmentation System which is the generic name given to the differential signal transmitted by various local geo stationary satellites SBAS allows the GPS150 receiver to remove errors in the position due to environmental conditions and
