129029: Detailed GNSS position data
127250: Vessel Heading
127257: Attitude data (roll, pitch)

The minimum safe distance from a magnetic compass is very small, only 12.7 mm (0.5 inch). You can therefore install it near a compass without significant magnetic interference.

The GPS 24xd antenna is multi-constellation, meaning it can receive signals from multiple satellite systems simultaneously for improved accuracy and reliability. It is compatible with:

GPS
GLONASS
Galileo
BeiDou

Yes, as with any NMEA 2000 device, you will need a free NMEA 2000 T-connector on your backbone to connect the antenna’s drop cable and integrate it into your network.

The housing is made of high-strength plastic alloy and is fully sealed with gaskets. This material is selected for its durability, resistance to UV, salt, and impacts, ensuring a long lifespan even in harsh marine conditions.

No, this antenna is designed exclusively for an NMEA 2000 network. To connect it to a computer, you would need an NMEA 2000 to USB or NMEA 0183 gateway, which is a separate device sold separately.

The Garmin GPS 24xd NMEA 2000 is an all-in-one sensor combining a multi-constellation GPS/GNSS receiver with an integrated magnetic compass. It does not only provide position data (latitude/longitude): it also transmits heading (PGN 127250) and attitude (PGN 127257) data over the NMEA 2000 network. This enhances the functionality of your autopilot, radar overlay, and boat route display.

The Garmin GPS 24xd antenna transmits a wide range of NMEA 2000 PGNs, including:

Position and heading: 127250 (Vessel heading), 127257 (Attitude data), 129025 (Position, rapid update), 129026 (COG and SOG, rapid update).GNSS: 129029 (GNSS position data), 129539 (GNSS DOPs), 129540 (GNSS sats in view).System: 126992 (System time), 126993 (Heartbeat), 126996 (Product information).Magnetic variation: 127258 (Magnetic variation).

Yes, it is possible, but only if your boat has a fiberglass deck. The white model of the antenna comes with a dedicated under-deck mounting kit. It is essential that the chosen location offers an unobstructed view of the sky through the fiberglass, as the GPS signal does not pass through metal materials. Follow the provided mounting instructions for correct installation.

The Garmin GPS 24xd antenna has a diameter of 91.6 mm and a height of 49.5 mm. It weighs 201 grams (7.1 oz). Its housing is made of high-strength plastic alloy, fully sealed for optimal waterproofing.

The Garmin GPS 24xd antenna is supplied with a 6-metre (19 ft 8 in) NMEA 2000 drop cable. This cable is designed to be connected directly to an included NMEA 2000 T-connector for integration into your existing network.

Yes, the Garmin GPS 24xd antenna is designed to connect to any standard NMEA 2000 network. It uses a supplied NMEA 2000 T-connector to tap into the network backbone. It is compatible with Garmin chartplotters and other brands’ devices supporting the NMEA 2000 protocol. For optimal compatibility, ensure your NMEA 2000 network is properly powered and terminated.

Yes, this is entirely possible. The antenna transmits standardized data via the NMEA 2000 protocol, making it compatible with any device capable of reading the PGNs it outputs (position, heading, etc.). However, for compass calibration, if you are not using a compatible Garmin chartplotter, you will need to perform a basic manual calibration (by turning in a circle) instead of the menu-assisted calibration.

The compass can be calibrated in two ways:

Via a compatible Garmin chartplotter: Access the device menu (Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup > Device List), select the antenna, then 'Compass Cal.' and follow the on-screen instructions.
Basic calibration: If you do not have a Garmin chartplotter, you must perform a manual calibration by making two slow, tight circles at a constant speed (at least 4 knots) in a calm water area, after powering on the antenna.

The compass-safe distance is 12.7 mm (0.5 inch). This means the antenna can be installed very close to the compass without risk of magnetic interference, making placement easier.

Yes, the antenna can be mounted on a standard mast or pole with an outer diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a thread pitch of 14 threads per inch. A pole-mount adapter is included. You can route the cable outside or inside the pole. Ensure the location provides a clear view of the sky.

If you lose signal, you can use the antenna's 'Auto Locate' feature. This option clears existing satellite data and forces the antenna to acquire new data. This option is only available when the antenna has no position lock. You can also perform a factory reset via the antenna's configuration menu.

Yes, the Garmin GPS 24xd antenna is a high-sensitivity GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver. It can track multiple satellite constellations, including the US GPS, Russian GLONASS, and European Galileo, which enhances position accuracy and reliability, even in challenging conditions.

For installation, you will need the following tools:

A drillA 3.2 mm (1/8 in) bit for pilot holesA 25 mm (1 in) hole saw for cable routing in surface mountA 19 mm (3/4 in) bit for cable routing through a mastA countersink bit for fiberglass surfaces (recommended)A screwdriver suitable for the supplied screwsMarine sealant (optional)

Yes, if you cannot mount the antenna in an ideal location for the magnetic compass, you can disable the magnetic heading data. To do this, perform a factory reset (Factory Defaults) via the antenna's configuration menu. The antenna will then continue to provide Course Over Ground (COG) data via GPS.

No, the antenna is supplied with a 6-meter NMEA 2000 drop cable. If you need additional length, you will need to add an extension to your NMEA 2000 network while respecting the maximum cable length and network termination guidelines. It is also possible to install a shorter drop cable if required.

Yes. The Garmin GPS 24xd antenna is perfectly suited for sailboats. Its ability to provide accurate heading data via the integrated compass is particularly useful for autopilot tuning, especially at low speeds. Additionally, the below-deck mounting (on fiberglass) is a discreet and aesthetic option for sailboats. Just ensure it has a clear view of the sky.
