Anténa GPS ZG100

The ZG100 GPS antenna provides a full set of navigation data, including:

Geographic position (latitude/longitude)Magnetic headingSpeed over ground (SOG)Course over ground (COG)Rate of turnRoll and pitch (heel/trim)

The ZG100 antenna provides a high and configurable position data refresh rate up to 10 Hz (10 times per second). This enables very smooth tracking of the boat's movements on your display.

The ZG100 antenna connects very simply to your existing installation via a standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C port. Power and data are carried over this single cable.

No, the ZG100 is not recommended for autopilot functions. For this application, which requires very high heading accuracy, B&G recommends using a gyrocompass such as the B&G Precision-9.

Yes, the ZG100 antenna has an IPX7 protection rating. It is therefore designed to withstand marine conditions and is protected against temporary immersion in water.

The ZG100 antenna provides horizontal positioning accuracy of 3 meters, thanks to its compatibility with satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) such as WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS.

The ZG100 antenna is versatile and can be installed in two ways:

In flush mount on a flat surface. On a standard mast mount (pole mount).

No, the ZG100 is not recommended for the MARPA (Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) function. This target-tracking function requires a higher-performance heading sensor such as the B&G Precision-9 to ensure reliable operation.

The antenna is powered directly by the NMEA 2000 network. It operates within a voltage range of 9 V to 18 V DC.

The ZG100 antenna is compact and lightweight. It measures 90 mm in diameter and 38 mm in height, weighing approximately 0.14 kg.

The electronic compass integrated into the ZG100 antenna provides heading data with an accuracy of +/- 3 degrees.

Yes, as long as your equipment (chartplotter, display) is compatible with the NMEA 2000 network and can interpret the standard PGNs (data sentences) transmitted by the ZG100, it should work without issues.

The antenna is equipped with a 32-channel multi-constellation receiver. It is compatible with GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo systems for fast and reliable position acquisition.

No, one of the advantages of NMEA 2000 is its simplicity. Power and data transmission are handled via a single NMEA 2000 Micro-C cable, which connects to your boat’s network.

The ZG100 is very energy-efficient. Its power consumption is less than 100 mA at 12 V DC, which corresponds to a power output of less than 2 Watts.

The ZG100 is the ideal solution for general instrumentation and navigation. It excels at providing heading data for stabilizing the chart in "North Up" mode and for precise overlay of radar images on the mapping.

The ZG100 antenna is designed to withstand various marine environments. Its operating temperature range is from -25°C to +60°C.

In addition to heading, the ZG100 integrates inertial sensors that provide roll and pitch data (heel/trim) with an accuracy of +/- 1° up to 30° of tilt, as well as yaw rate with an accuracy of +/- 3°.

This depends on your needs. For displaying a stable heading on a chartplotter and radar overlay, the ZG100 is an excellent solution. However, for critical functions such as autopilot or MARPA target tracking that require higher precision and responsiveness, the Precision-9 compass remains the recommended product.

The antenna transmits multiple NMEA 2000 PGNs, including the most important ones:

129025: Position, fast update
129026: COG & SOG, fast update
127250: Vessel heading
127251: Rate of turn
127257: Attitude (roll and pitch)
