The Insight GPS 50-W transmits Global Positioning Data from multiple satellite-based WAAS signals. The GPS engine, interface electronics, and passive antenna are enclosed inside a durable waterproof plastic housing. This superior quality GPS provides advanced, state-of-the-art positioning performance and plug-and-play use with Nobeltec Navigation Software charting programs.

Nobeltec Navigation Software (Visual Navigation Suite, Admiral or MAX Pro software, sold separately) interfaced with the InSight GPS 50-W using your onboard computer, intelligently interprets and displays GPS data in an easy-to-comprehend onscreen format, providing you with the ability to make safer and more prudent navigation decisions in shorter periods of time.

What is WAAS?

WAAS consists of a network of ground reference stations across the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. The master stations collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message, taking into account selective availability (SA), GPS satellite orbit and clock drift, and signal delays caused by atmosphere and ionosphere. The “corrected” differential messages are then broadcast throught two Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites on the same frequency as the GPS signal. The result is a DGPS system that delivers superior accuracy (<3 meters).

Hardware Installation

The InSight GPS 50-W can be installed using either a pole bracket or flush mounting. Please read the user guide for specific installation instructions.
