GPS 73 - GPS prijenosni za marine

The GPS 73 measures 6.6 cm in width, 15.2 cm in height, and 3.0 cm in thickness. Its weight is 203.1 grams with batteries.

The GPS 73 offers up to 18 hours of battery life with AA batteries, making it suitable for extended outings.

The GPS 73 operates on two AA batteries (not included). For best performance, use NiMH or lithium batteries, especially in cold conditions.

No, the GPS 73 is equipped with a monochrome LCD screen with 4-level grayscale backlighting. It has a 6.6 cm diagonal and a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, ensuring clear readability of information.

Yes, the GPS 73 has an IPX7 waterproof rating. This means it is resistant to accidental immersion up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.

Yes, the GPS 73’s design allows it to float, which is an advantage if it accidentally falls overboard.

The GPS 73 provides several essential navigation functions:

Waypoints: Create, project, navigate to, edit, delete, and refine position (averaging). Routes: Create, edit, view on chart, delete, navigate, and reverse routes. Tracks: Record, view, save, clear, and navigate tracks. Main pages: Chart, Compass, and Dashboard.

The GPS 73 allows you to manage waypoints in several ways:

Creation: Saving your current position.Projection: Creating a new waypoint from an existing one using distance and bearing.Navigation: Guidance to a saved waypoint.Editing: Modifying waypoint details.Deletion: Removing a waypoint.Averaging: Improving waypoint accuracy by taking multiple measurements.

Yes, the GPS 73 integrates a high-sensitivity GPS receiver compatible with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System), enabling fast signal acquisition and precise position maintenance.

The GPS 73 provides an RMS accuracy of less than 15 meters. With WAAS compatibility, the differential accuracy is improved and is less than 3 meters.

Yes, the GPS 73 has a "Sail Racing" mode that helps cross the starting line of a regatta at the precise moment of the start. It allows synchronizing a countdown and indicates whether your sailboat will cross the line early, late, or on time. You can also define the starting line by marking the port and starboard buoys or by entering their coordinates.

Yes, the GPS 73 can be used for land navigation thanks to its "Highway" mode.

The Instruments page displays data such as wind speed, temperature and wind direction. This information is provided by sensors connected to the device via an NMEA 0183 network.

To install the batteries:

Slide the battery compartment cover down and remove it from the rear of the device. Insert two AA batteries, observing the correct polarity. Replace the battery compartment cover.

To turn on the GPS 73, hold down the power button (button with the bulb symbol).

After installing the batteries, you can select the battery type in the settings:

Hold the power button down. Select Setup > System > Battery Type. Choose the option matching the battery type you are using (e.g., alkaline, NiMH, lithium).

Yes, the GPS 73 has a power/NMEA 0183 connector, allowing it to receive data from connected instruments over an NMEA 0183 network, such as speed or wind direction sensors, to display on the Instruments page.

The GPS 73 is equipped with a 128 x 160 pixel monochrome LCD screen that displays a basic chart with your position, waypoints, and tracks. However, this unit is not designed to display detailed marine charts or complex vector charts. It is primarily a standalone location and navigation tool.
