This sensor combines a 3-axis compass with accelerometer and rate gyro technology, providing exceptional 2-degree dynamic accuracy even in 30-degree pitch and roll conditions. Basic compasses cannot maintain this level of accuracy in rough seas. Can I mount this sensor on an angled surface? Yes, the innovative design allows mounting to any angled bulkhead without performance degradation. The auto-calibration feature automatically compensates for installation angle. What NMEA data does this sensor output? The sensor outputs heading data via NMEA 0183 (HDT, HDM messages) and NMEA 2000 (PGN 127250, 127257) at 10Hz standard, with up to 20Hz capability for NMEA 2000. Do I need separate cables for NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000? Yes, NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 cables are sold separately. Choose the appropriate cable based on your marine electronics system requirements. How does the auto-calibration feature work? The auto-calibration automatically adjusts for magnetic deviation, installation angle, and local magnetic environment. Simply follow the calibration routine through your connected display unit. Is this sensor compatible with non-Garmin marine electronics? Yes, the standard NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 outputs are compatible with any marine electronics that support these protocols, not just Garmin systems.
