The Story
The Chesapeake Black 4" Studded Speedometer is a state-of-the-art GPS speedometer designed specifically for marine and boating applications. It serves as a seamless drop-in replacement for your existing gauge, offering enhanced accuracy and reliability to complement your vessel's instrument dashboard.
Advanced GPS Technology
Powered by an internal GPS antenna, the Chesapeake Black Speedometer eliminates the need for external antennas, simplifying installation and maintenance. Equipped with a high-precision 48-channel GPS receiver, it ensures exceptional speed accuracy of ±1 MPH. This makes it a superior choice for those seeking dependable performance on the water.
Enhanced Display Features
The speedometer not only displays speed but also offers Course Over Ground (COG) and actual heading (compass heading over ground) on an optional digital LCD screen. The speed data is conveyed through an analog pointer, driven by a digital stepper motor that minimizes pointer bounce and ensures smooth, accurate readings even during vigorous vessel operations. The premium LED back-lit dials provide clear visibility in various lighting conditions.
Key Benefits
- No external GPS antenna required: Simplifies installation and reduces dashboard clutter.
- Premium LED back-lit dials: Ensure clear visibility in all lighting conditions.
- Ultra-fast Satellite Acquisition: Achieves a Time To First Fix (TTFF) of just 1 second from a hot start.
- High Speed and Heading Accuracy: Provides speed accuracy within ±1 MPH and heading accuracy within ±1 degree.
- Digital Stepper Motor Driven Pointers: Ensure precise and stable speed readings without pointer bounce.
- Reliable Replacement for Traditional Devices: Ideal alternative to pitot tubes and paddle wheels that can fail over time.
- Perfect for Slow-Moving Vessels: Delivers accurate speed measurements where pitot tubes are ineffective.
- Durable Deutsch Connectors: Offer robust and secure wiring connections.
