Provides optimal GPS performance. (For equipment
with appropriate waterproof rating.)
• Below Decks mounting:
GPS performance may be less effective and may
require an external GPS antenna mounted above
decks.
Vessel construction
The construction of your vessel can have an impact
on GPS performance. For example, the proximity of
heavy structure such as a structural bulkhead, or the
interior of larger vessels may result in a reduced GPS
signal. Before locating equipment with an internal GPS
antenna below decks, seek professional assistance
and consider use of an external GPS antenna mounted
above decks.
Prevailing conditions
The weather and location of the vessel can affect the
GPS performance. Typically calm clear conditions
provide for a more accurate GPS fix. Vessels at
extreme northerly or southerly latitudes may also
receive a weaker GPS signal. GPS antenna mounted
below decks will be more susceptible to performance
issues related to the prevailing conditions.
compasses. Typically this distance should be at least
1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller
vessels it may not be possible to locate the display this
far away from a compass. In this situation, the following
figures provide the minimum safe distance that should
be maintained between the display and any compasses.
